In spite of what the various polls say at this point. Zane Gingrich will not have an easy time of it.
I think author has his own Conventional Wisdom problem. The polls show Gingrich beats Obama in the swing states. Obama might rack up big popular vote tallies in blue states, but he would lose the election according to current polls.
He’s dead right about the “echo chamber” - I cannot believe how wrapped-up people on FR and elsewhere get over the opinions expressed by some pundit or bloviator who earns a living by expounding and bloviating! It doesn’t matter what “they” think - TO ME - but it sure seems to matter to themselves, and thus the feedback loop continues.
Bush was too lazy. Palin was too dumb. Cain is too frisky. Newt is too bombastic. Perry can’t count. Bachmann has too many foster kids. And the beat goes on...
People need to wake up the mechanism between their own ears, forget what talking heads, pollsters, and Frank Luntz’s meters say and just listen, read, analyze and vote their own conscience.
Glenn Beck recently devoted almost an entire show on Newt and his big government progressivism. If you are a Newt fan and caught the show, it must have been very uncomfortable viewing. Glenn was at his persuasive best.
I suspect there will be NO conventional anything about the political circus we will witness next year.
Of all the Republican candidates, the only one I perceive having a shred of leadership is Newt Gingrich.
Meanwhile, legions of people are busily working to stop Obama’s candidacy at all 50 states, challenging his eligibility at the state level. Also, there is a group challenging the Democratic Party to prove Obama is eligible.
No one is going to have a cake walk into the White House this coming year.
Agree, bb. And we all need to remember what the stakes are if Bam wins again:
1. Any Conservative Supreme Court judges will automatically be replaced with Elena Kagen/Sonya Sotomayor clones or worse, killing our five/four majority chances.
2.House: need to keep it.
3.Senate: need to take it back.
4.Governorships: need to elect more GOP/Conservatives.
We’ve got our work cut out for us guys.
There are three branches of government that the Progressives hope to conquer and destroy.
By way of observation, Glen, too, is a mormon.
Eff the polls and the elite GOP establishment, we WILL nominate a conservative.

“(it wasn’t lobbying, you see)”
Obviously this clown does not know the difference between a consultant and a lobbyist.
Correction.
‘Any “retiring” Supreme Court justices’...blah, blah, blah.
He has two “Ns” in his first name—stands for numb nuts.
I still think that anyone who can fog a mirror is better than what’s sitting in the White House right now.
Maybe it’s not an “echo chamber” but a cage filled with parrots, first parroting their masters,the pundits, and then each other. The arguments against (whoever) heard here and elsewhere have been lame, shallow and unoriginal.
So?
Got it now?
Glen Beck isn’t from Utah. Care to try again?
“Newt Gingrich Implodes” — That’s the headline I still expect to see.
