Obama is already running ads against Romney in fear of him. Well the sad fact is, if GOP voters can't tell how the liberal media can play you up, we really are screwed. Sure Romney and Gingrich are both about the same amount to the left of center. But Gingrich has a bigger record of sleaze and political corruption on him, and there's loads of liability to hammer him once he starts campaigning. As for Romney, the major issue against him winning is hearing Obama instruct us not to vote for a cultist, which, at this point, gets pretty old, pretty quick. Power on through.

Gingrich also is very much in the bin for Obamacare as well. Problem is, this year, you don;t have a choice. Every one of the available candidates are in for Universal Healthcare. Newt Gingrich figured that he simply has a better idea of universal healthcare than Obama does, same with Romney.

Good point, Newt and McCain really are similar. But at the same time, ithe tough part is that plenty of the classy candidates have pretty much gotten wasted on the anyone but Romney ideal. Huntsman is more classy than either Gingrich or Romney, but he is pretty much a speck of dust in the GOP polls. Gingrich has the same problem of being "old news" there's too much to hammer him with. Allegations of corruption and his actually being kicked out of Congress as a disciplinary action are among the worst things Obama can sling against him. Other candidates that would spark my interest, such as Allen West or Bobby Jindal, just aren't running right now.

If Allen West actually ever ran, he would get my vote.

Newt most likely wants to win over any of the Romney voters that he can, even if he wins the nomination.

Well, what would you think of Newt Gingrich if he did make Romney be his running mate?

I would also add that Romney, in the debates, has for the most part stuck to his policy proposals. I don't particularly believe in his religion, but that's the problem with the GOP, the problem is that they get so into finding that "perfect Christian candidate" that they lose elections bitterly, and repeatedly.

You are totally right about Newt, the irony to him, is that his statements against Paul Ryan are contradictory to his 90s motto of reducing the budget. I don't like Gingrich anymore because he's past usefulness, I can't listen to him and regard what he says as sincere.

OWS are useful idiots of the far-left, just wait when they do cause trouble, then the left will argue that "America is insecure! We need to be more authoritarian to prevent whackos like this!"

"...they've been taught that competition is bad" Altering my favorite quote from Princess Bride, "Life is competitive, anyone who tells you differently, both thinks of you as pathetic, and wants you to stay that way."
