Reagan’s biggest problem in 1980 was also electability...and we know how that turned out. Reagan was going to BLOW UP THE WORLD, as the Dems kept repeating and much of the public believed.

I have to laugh every time I see someone trying to compare Newt to Reagan. Reagan was tall, slender and very handsome. He had an engaging personality and people loved him on a personal basis. Newt is short, fat and looks like an ancient Pillsbery Doughboy, he waddles when he walks, has a little girls voice, and the most memorable thing about him is his vicous temper and how easy he was to demonize.

Reagan wasn’t a manipulative bottom feeder just waiting for his next chance to sell us out.

Everyone is focused on how good it sounds hearing conservative views come out of Gingrich's mouth on the debate platform. In a debate with Obama, however, the undecided audience won't be listening to a word - they will be making a visual comparison, just like they did with Obama and McCain.

That's probably one of the main reasons why the Establishment is pushing Romney - they figure enough dumb voters will think he is good-looking to switch their votes away from Obama.
