Compared with an inept failure, almost anything is electable. I'd take the candidate pictured above over Obama, and Newt is somewhat better. In fact, everyone in the GOP field (except Mitt Romney) is better than a sack of manure and completely electable. Romney is worse than a sack of manure but still very slightly better than Obama and sadly somewhat electable.
FACT: the media is going to ask NEwt gotcha questions about his past, that they wouldn’t DARE ask of Obama, for fear of losing their jobs.
Really, Dick Morris wrote “shined” instead of “shone?” So much for higher education.
