The One Simple Reason Newt Gingrich Will Not Win The General Election: Women
Posted by RealQuiet (Diary) December 7th
Newt Gingrich has conducted a brilliant campaign strategy since he stumbled back in late spring regarding Paul Ryans Path to Prosperity Plan. He has been masterful in debates and shown an eagerness to take on and fight the media elite. He has owned up to his personal and political mistakes and stated candidly what his positions are, though many may disagree with them but still live with them.
He hasnt shown the brash ego and self-centeredness that reared its ugly head so many times when he was the Speaker of the House. He certainly seems to be a changed man.
BUT ..
Though Gingrich has engaged in his own political cronyism and playing both sides of the fence on political issues like Mitt Romney has in the past (which the Republican voter seems to be willing to overlook), there is one thing that will stop him from winning the general election:
A considerable majority of American women will not vote for him because of his past marital actions of betrayal
Most American women whether they be Democrat, independent, or Republican will not vote for a man who cheated on his previous wife(s). Among women, men like this cannot and will not be trusted. People like to point out that Ronald Reagan had two wives. The key thing is Ronald Reagan never cheated on Jane Wyman, his first wife. She left him because there was nothing left in common between them as she claimed. That is a very big difference.

For someone that seems to lean on polls... how do you explain the present poll numbers for the 'only electable' Santorum?
sarc...(figured that was necessary unfortunately)
And if he doesn't, he will lose South Carolina by a significant margin. So we'll know definitely, in less than 24 hours, whether women will be deserting Newt in droves or not.
100% pure dee conjecture on facts not in evidence.
That said, the 'ol lady says there's no friggin' way women will vote for this guy and men just don't get it.
The infidelity allegation are 3rd on the list after:
1. He's old and ugly
He's perceived as uncaring.
If this is true, and I suspect it may be, it's the best argument for repeal of the 19th I have ever heard.
American women voters, on average, are both stupid and destructive of the Republic.
UTTER NONSENSE!
The same was said about Sarah Palin, yet at all her appearances, women are the majority of her supporters!!!
“I dont know a single woman wholl vote for him.”
Well, meet one! Me! ;o)
I think it’s a mistake to try to cram all women into one barrel just because we’re women. Some of us model ourselves after Hillary Clinton . . . and some of us try to emulate Maggie Thatcher. Are you hanging out with a bunch of closet Democrats?
“Most American women whether they be Democrat, independent, or Republican will not vote for a man who cheated on his previous wife(s).”
Tell that to Clinton. The guy had a bimbo eruption every other week including during campaigns.
Agree. Santorum is not electable in the general election. If the general becomes focused on social issues as it would with Santorum, the middle, and they exist, will flee from our side as fast as they can. Santorum will scare the s**t out of them. I wish it wasn’t so,I like Santorum personally, but reality tells me otherwise. As for Gingrich, the focus will become Newt and all his baggage. Since Newt is a bit of an egomaniac he will play right into the trap, since the issue will become his favorite subject, Newt. So reality tells me he will also go down in flames in the general. The middle will be repulsed by him like its 1999. As for Paul, no explanation is needed. If Obama faced Paul he would get lots of chances to get 18 in. That leaves one standing, Romney. Is he what everybody says he is, in a negative sense, sure. But he gives us the best chance to get us over 50%. Hell, he has a good chance of winning this. I can see the apolitical middle, those secret Obama voters of 08, easily pulling the lever for Romney, but not for the other three. Do I wish a more conservative candidate with a great record and charisma were our nominee, your damn right, but he or she never entered the race, or maybe even exists. If we lose this one, the next ones will not matter so much.
How do you do Mr./Mrs. DarkWolf.
You have met a single woman who is going to vote for Newt. :)
(Red State kicked Palin to the curb a while back to become wholesale shills for Perry until even Erick had to admit that Anita's little dream was over.)
Cheers!
"NEWT IT FROM ORBIT. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE."
Cheers!
Cheers!
“American women voters, on average, are both stupid and destructive of the Republic.”
What a nasty thing to say.
What the Hell is wrong with you?
How many fingers are there? Are they holding hands or something?
Cheers!
Cheers!
Nothing.
It's true.
Over 60 percent of American vote democrat...EVERY election since WWII.
I'm glad you're in the 40%.
Did you notice the "on average" qualifier?
I'm thinking you didn't.
I'm thinking you're a thinking person and don't vote...across the board...Democrat.
Over 60 percent of American WOMEN vote democrat.
Hoodat, Banned or suspended.
You mean 60% of American women vote democrat. That’s probably right.
