I’ll go with Gingrich.
He is not the perfect candidate but do any of us doubt that he would go 3 for 3 in his debates with Obama? That claim cannot be made for any other GOP candidate.
And, at least at this point, his appeal to independent voters should be quite good. In fact I have anecdotal evidence (sample size is one, so margin of error is infinite) that he will appeal to Dems that have given up on Obama.
The”evidence”: My 90 year old lifelong Democrat and fanatical Obama supporter sister-in-law wants Newt to be elected in 2012.
Her reason: it is now finally clear to her that Obama simply doesn’t have the necessary experience to be President and, of the GOP candidates, Gingrich seems best qualified to pull us out of the economic mess we are in.
I think she is right.
If anyone can answer this. What is Newt’s position on the obamacare law? Did he say he would repeal it?
