Agreed. Of those running Romney probably has the best chance of doing that. Newt has great ideas but he would be massacred by the MSM. Never have a chance to get his message out. He would constantly be on defense. He is probably only person with as many negatives as Hillary, except perhaps Cheney.
And you think Rudy doesn't have as many, if not more negatives? Where would you like me to start? Pro-Abortion/Anti-Second-Amendment/Cheated on his wives multiple times/Pro-Gay/Pro-Illegal immigration and that's only what is on the surface.
His anti-second amendment stance alone will lose him most, if not all, of the southern vote.
Yes, that's how I see it.....He is the only chance, but I suspect he will be disdained by a large portion of this broken political base, and subsequently will be damaged. Just as Bush has been, during the past 30 months and even prior to that.
The self destruction has only just begun as watch this play out. The only real hope is that something will happen to stop the slide, and regroup the party. But its not much to pin any hope to.
