[Alas Babylon!]

And the driveby’s would LOVE for Gingrich to be the Republican nominee in 2012.... He won’t win a general election—ever. I know it and so do they. That’s why they’re promoting him.

Just like McCain.

With his trainload of baggage!

You bet they would.

He would be the best gift nominee since 1996, since 2008. What could be better? Another OLD white-haired guy from the Grand OLD Party.

Of course, it would be a toss-up between him and Jeb Bush. The driveby's would love another Bush to bash, and GW and GHW left a permanent bitter taste in many people's mouths.

I would go Gingrich before I would Bush.

I would go Romney before I would Gingrich.

I would go Huckabee before I would Romney.

I would go Popeye before I would Huckabee.

I Popeye doesn't announce, I think I just go fishing, again.

You are so right! This is not the time to put our stock in retreads, IMO.
