He of course has no shot at the White House due to his personal life and the high negatives he generates, but its good that he is there to present the conservative case in a clear and concise manner.
He's no phony son of a bitch like that liar and coward from a family of liars and cowards Romney, and hes also not one step ahead of the butterfly nets like Paul or the morgue like Pawlenty.
Bachman has a lot of balls being up there, she needs more seasoning, but is a prospect, and also will do a good job in agitating for Tea Party values and against the Washingtonians.
Cain is a wild card, he talks the talk, and would make for an unbeatable ticket if he is the VP candidate with Palin.
I'd like to see him in a VP debate against that glad handing psycho SOB Biden, Cain is clumsy because hes new to the political game, Biden has no excuse.
I agree with your assessment. Gingrich sounds pretty darn good for someone who lost his mind on global warming and personal problems and has zero chance of winning the Presidency. Perhaps he can be useful in the debates.
