Newt and Callista are not very likeable.
On his worst day, Newt comes across as more likeable than the utterly charmless, condescending, arrogant and cold Obama.
Who is on the GOP side this time around?
None, really. Cain was, but that ship has sailed.
Agree about Callista. But hopefully we won’t go there this election. Michelle O has her own baggage.
Regarding Newt ... likeable ... No he’s not ‘likeable’ as far as inviting him over for a beer. BUT ... this country is teetering on financial destruction. I think voters are going to be voting for a street fighter. Someone who’s willing to fight for America. Newt has that quality. That’s why Tea Partiers like him (to answer Glen Beck). Newt is attacking the media and Obama and NO ONE else on the Repbulican bench is willing to do that. (Except for Palin.)
I wish Palin & Trump would run together. This country needs a wild ride to shake things up.
Newt is very likable on the stump and in debates.
He comes across as knowledgeable, wise, concerned, strategic, unvarnished, well-spoken, genuine, thoughtful and sensible - all while seeming grandfatherly in the best sense of that word.
Mitt comes across as plastic banana.
Perry comes across as W.
Bachmann comes across as right on the issues, but not as presidential timber.
Paul comes across as a Beck/Savage clone (helpful as political sirens, but not as political leaders).
