Clinton had the full power of the MSM to assist him. Newt will have the full power of the MSM pulling on him like an anchor. One helps, one hurts.
Which would be fine if he confined his controlling impulses to his own temple: Former smoking fatty control freak falls for second-hand smoke scam and tries to tell everybody else how to live
But hey, the guy can play that guitar and that's worth a vote. Get real...
"McLame or Rudy could win the general. (against Hills and without Bloomie running as an 'I')"
I agree on Rudy, but not on McLame. And the idea of Bloomie as an "I" is a joke. OPutside of New York, NOBODY knows or cares about this guy!
"In other words, voters picked the one with the best experience. Without her name recognition working for her, Clinton came in a miserable sixth out of 10."
this ignores important reality - that name-recognition IS important. Without it GWBush would never have become president.
You got that right. When Gingrich went to Congress, people I know in GA didn't vote for him because of the way he treated his first wife. Then, after several years as US Rep. he more or less did the same thing by getting involved with one of his staff and dumping wife #2. He also declared his admiration for Clinton's charisma and more or less said he had a difficulr time withstanding Clinton when he turned on the charm.
I would never vote for Newt for Pres.--very intelligent, but lacking in integrity and stability.

That is why the President has been maneuvering Hillary into a position of respectability, with his personal comments, and appearances. Even with the cozying up his father is doing. It is a shell game, with no pea. The Republican party now has its version of the Libs race card. Don't vote for them, they are evil and will take your freedom away. Gone forever are the days of positive politics, they have been swept away in the rush of personal attacks.
Come on people. You know who the best candidates are. They are the ones NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Rick Santorum and Mike Pence are probably the nation's strongest conservatives and they can articulate our values. Pence is a socon who can easily win the libertarian vote and Ricky is a major socon who can win the moderate vote (he's been doing in PA with some success). If he can pull off the election this fall...watch out. Romney and Huckaby seem to be the most best candidates so far, but can they win? Please, oh please, all you Guilianibots and McLame lovers...stop. Now. They are so smokin' left. They're both good guys but aweful republicans.
The fact that Tancredo is even mentioned on this poll snds chills down my back!
"interactive poll" = "non-scientific" = "total BS"
Oops. I read the question wrong!! I'm sorry. I would never vote for Hillary!! I looked at it and saw McCain first. I have seen McCain in person and I think that he is too fragile to be President. But if it came down to McCain vs a Dem, he would get my vote.
I haven't heard the phrase uttered by a conservative since Dan Quayle, back when Murphy Brown was still a first-run show.
I do see it from time to time on the occasional moonbat's bumper, though.
How does a guy that hails from the NE, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, talk like he is from Texas? I would say careful coaching, and grooming for his current job.
The dims would love to see Gingrich the candidate.
Clinton had an opponent that was something like 100 years old, a veteran compromiser and empty suit. It was Doles chance to be the nominee, after years of service.
:)
A veteran of the military that sacrificed so we can post here and it cost him allot physically, yet he never ran off at the mouth trying to use his military experience as a prop like Kerry, Murtha, Hagel, etc.
