Newt Running
I just heard Newt Gingrich is looking at running in 2012. I like him. I think his age is going to turn off younger voters thou.

His marriage activities for some, sitting on the Sofa with Nancy for some more, NY-23 (?) for others, etc, etc........
Newt comes with a lot of baggage of his own making he'll have to overcome.
But once again it's the Republican Primary Process that does him in. Running the Lib states up front splits the conservative vote allowing the "moderate" to advance.
Gee, I guess Newt could run as the moderate after all..........

I like Newt a lot but I question his ability to raise enough money to win.

I can see him as a very viable VP, to a younger more connected Lady...

MOO...but by my calculations...
SP + NG = BHO (2012-2016)
...a formula I'm not too crazy about marketing.

Hey, did you pick Carter for two terms, as well?

That is the problem.
Obama can be beaten, but the people the Republicans are likely to run against him cannot do it.
Right or wrong, Palin and Gingrich have both been rendered unelectable by the MSM.
Agree that the presidential primary system is rigged toward the "moderate" RINO brands of Republican candidates. Of course, you have to ask yourself how conservative can your candidate be and still get elected nationally? The numbers do not look good.
We will probably end up with another moderate old white guy for election cannon fodder, like Dole and McCain were.

Now that the Heart Attack Burger spokesman has fallen over with a heart attack Newt should try out for his job. He certainly is pudgy enough to fit right in and anybody who has made a career of cheating and lying to wives would be good as a salesperson for lard fried taters.
Maybe him and The Donald can run be running mates.

There was an article a couple days ago where Christie stated flatly that he could win. Whether he could or not, it was a breath of fresh air to me.
I think Gingrich falls right in the Dole and McCain category, as well.
It's time to cut the losers loose. Palin has become a joke to much of the Country, but out of a lineup including West, Rubio, Walker and Christie, we'll get the majority fired up. He just better be attractive, or the chicks won't vote for him.
I don't see any possibility of Obama improving his approval numbers to the point of re-election, personally.

I'm with you on that one. Not sure I could vote for either of them. Certainly not Newt. He is a hypocrit of the highest form.

Besides, he's starting to look a little dumpy, too-right?
