>> Translated from RINO this means that Newt scares the hell out of the Democrats. <<

Katherine Harris supporters said the same thing during her U.S. Senate bid. Every study showed the general electorate had a negative view of her and she'd get killed in the statewide race. They interpted this to mean that "RINOs hate her for no reason" and "she scares the hell out of the Democrats"

On election day in November, she couldn't even muster 40% and handed an otherwise vulnerable Dem (Bill Nelson) a easy landslide re-election. Want to repeat that on the national level with Obama? Nominate Newt.

Whatever. Just rest assured that there is no scenario in which I cast a vote for Mitt Romney.

Very good analysis, which I tend to agree with. The question then becomes when can any Republican not be savaged and relentlessly caricatured by the corrupt MSM (in full collusion with Democrats)?

One by one, every Republican in the last 50 years has been pejoratively caricatured by the corrupt MSM together with Democrats.

Goldwater
Nixon
Ford
Reagan
Quayle
Bush (both)
Palin
Gingrich

and so on...

Come election day, it is popularity contest. Always has been.

The difference between today and 150 years ago is that today, communists have infiltrated our politics and are hell bent on our destruction. I

If Obama wins, he could cement the republics destruction. Pack the courts with more communists. Rape our Constitution even more frequently. As Chris Rock said, he would “go Gangsta” in a second term. I could imagine a complete meltdown of the economy in his second term.

Newt would probably be best as a VP. (I cant say who should be President, as I would risk getting zotted)

Didn’t the Republican Party refuse to support Harris? I think so because she wasn’t a Republican rino insider.
