Depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to replace obama I doubt that. Gingrich is the better Conservative Republican, no doubt about that. But Romney would be better against obama. As much as I hated typing those words I think they're true.
You think Romney would be a better president than Gingrich or a better opponent to Obama?
I think it’s no contest on the presidency. When in power, Gingrich has governed as a conservative. Romney has governed as a liberal. There is absolutely no reason to believe it would be different now.
As a candidate, I think McCain proved that unobtrusive and soft-spoken doesn’t work, and that’s Romney.
So, I disagree. Gingrich would draw a sharp contrast, he’s a far better debater, and Obama would hide. That hiding wouldn’t work since time is on the side of the conservative media.
The lamestream has the advantage in getting things out quickly and blanketing the airwaves.
The conservatives have enough programming to eventually fight back. Fox, talk radio, and the blogosphere would go nuts over a president avoiding debates.
