Really there is no value in this discussion.
We need to deal with the primary and get him past Romney before it is time to play this imagine game.
If “- - - (Romney is unquestionably the weakest party front-runner in contemporary political history.) - - -” then what will he be forced to take from Newt’s Presidential Campaign should Willy get the Party Nomination?
Newt has a much stronger platform than Willy, and the Party will force the Nominee to accept their patchwork platform.
“What will be the effect of Newt Gingrich’s Presidential Campaign on the Republican Party in 2012?”
BTW, the point of this discussion is to show the lurkers that Newt can beat the socks off of Mittens.
