2. Did it occur to you that maybe Gingrich does have the country’s best interest at heart, unlike some of the “cut off your nose to spite your face” types around here, who would rather see Obama get reelected and watch the country destroyed, than to act sensibly.

Did it ever occur to you that some of us had publically stated that if Romney gets the nomination the GOP will lose and Obama will win another 4 years?

Well, some of us need to save face and make sure in the end our predictions come true.

Pride above country, that's what I say.

How is it that I didn’t see that?

Mitt Romney doesn’t HAVE to lose in November, but if he is to win, he is going to have to take the fight to Obama, and it won’t be all sweet reason and logic, or even money, that will carry the case for a Republican win (I don’t say “victory”, as that is an entirely different concept).

The ship has sailed for anyone expecting a victory this fall, but nobody has ever won by playing defense. The establishment Republicans have to be compelled, if that is what it takes, to get up off their collective duffs and WORK for a win here, and that includes swallowing their distaste for getting their hands dirty and at least trying to SOUND sincere.

The recent primary win in Indiana over the most “moderate” Republican in the US Senate, Dick Luger, should convince even the more reticent of other “moderates” that their own base is no longer a slam dunk for them. And surprise, surprise, there is a large part of the “non-partisan” middle that is looking for just that show of backbone by the national Republicans. They respect principle, really they do.
