Spidey07 would be 100% right if most American voters through exactly like Spidey07. The Spidey07 problem if that very few American voters share similar views with Spidey07, and for that I have some reason for optimism.
In 1972 through 1974 Nixon tried the same duck the Watergate questions strategy Newt is trying today over his treatment of his ex-wives, and it simply did not work in the end. Herman Cain tried it too, in late 2011 regarding sexual harassment, and it did not work either.
Don't blame us Democrats, these are only the GOP primaries, and already all four top running Republicans are badly damaged goods even the GOP is reluctant to buy.
I am beginning to believe that GOP does not want to win the Presidency in 11/2012. As long as there is a democratic President to blame the GOP evades blame for keeping the country in bad economic shape, thus preserving the GWB economic strategy and preventing needed reforms.
