Gingrich has what it takes to take on the MSM and Obama. The momentum is there.

Then, why did it takes 6 months and Cain dropping out for his campaign to get above 10%? Why did he drop like a rock when hit with the Romney/Paul ads* in IA? Why did 65% of the voters in IA recently say they would prefer someone other than the 5 on the Republican primary ticket? Why did he come in 4th in both IA and NH?

*Do you think Team Obama will be nicer in the general election?

I wish I could be that optimistic, but I just don't see it. I see the GOP heading over another cliff. 1996. 2008. A potential nominee who is frequently erratic and inconsistent and apologizing for past errors, many of those past errors being only a few months old. I just do not see that as a pattern for a victory.

I answered that in my upthread posts. Too much of a diluted field. 7 people running each with individual characteristics. Some voters like this, others like that. I wanted Palin but that didn't transpire. Romney, never. Newt, baggage, Santorum, OK but not a sparky. Paul, YGBKM. etc, etc. Cain came along and I liked what I say. But then...

So I decided I'd hold my water until something changed the game (which I knew would be winnowing the field). Now Gingrich is soaring, he has the cojones, the fire and the will. 'Nuff said.

I expect Team Obama to play every negative card in the deck. They, along with the MSM, will go for the jugular. That's why we need someone to take them on. And if you think Gingrich will be "A potential nominee who is frequently erratic and inconsistent and apologizing for past errors, many of those past errors being only a few months old", I think you're vastly mistaken. Sure, he has a lot of issues, but they've been out there for years.

I've now made my decision. Of what's left, he's the only "MAN" standing.
