The tactical problem with Newt is he just doesn’t know when to shut up. The way to run for president is to paint a few ‘Big Ideas’ in broad strokes and then give out details with an eye-dropper. You just know that Newt is going to P- off ever significant constituency in BOTH parties before this thing is over. If he can survive that and get elected in the face of Obama’s billion-dollar warchest, then it would be a miracle.

I’m totally pessimistic, mostly because of the electorate coupled with the biased media coverage.
However, I have noticed that Gingrich really, is getting under the skin of the liberals. I suspect part of that is that they fear Gingrich as an opponent. I certain they fear him as a president.
I think Romney would oppose Obama the same way McCain did, and the way the RNC says to approach Obama, that is, no direct assaults, be nice.
Gingrich is our best chance, and if he implodes, or if he just doesn’t get the job done, God help us all.
