Welcome to Free Republic, I am honored to be the recipient of your second post. There was no need to apologize for it
I fear you are right but Gingrich's chances are diminished not so much because he is white but because of his baggage. On the other hand, we have no one who could mount a bully pulpit and damn the Obama administration for its sins like Gingrich. He already has access to the cameras which no other Republican, including regrettably (or perhaps fortuitously) the chairman of the Republican National Committee, can equal as well as the power of speech to make his points.
The problem for Gingrich is a problem for all Republicans. I don't think we are even beginning to understand the forces that are arrayed against us. I think that the shadow party described by David Horowitz in his book of that name begins to glimpse the stranglehold which Soros and his few cronies have over our media, our institutions, and the Democrat party. We do not even have the weapons to begin counter battery fire.
It is terrifying to watch Obama pick off our industry leaders such as General Motors and General Electric one by one as he co-opts them to support his socialist takeover. This he does with a combination of intimidation and promises reminiscent of Adolf Hitler in 1933. All of this is shielded by a media hypnotized by its own visions of a new race renaissance in America and utterly incapable therefore of mustering critical oversight. The Soros operation controls so much money that it is doubtful that the Republicans will be able to compete realistically. The ground game has been won a long time ago by Acorn and the unions. The air war has been lost for a long time. War has really now move into cyberspace where the Republicans are so outclassed here that they do not even know what is coming at them.
Finally, there are the unmeasurable but very real cumulative effect of years of liberal education and liberal media. Add to this an equally irresistible tidal wave of immigration and the odds against the Republicans lengthen literally every passing day to the point where our chances can only be redeemed by Obama himself.
