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.
I'm no Romney supporter! I think he'd make the better candidate...Newt would make the better president. And if Newt runs I will support him to the bitter end.
I hope you're right! And as I said in an earlier reply, If Newt wins the nomination I will be a very strong supporter and will work for his election and give my financial support. I will do the same if any of our candidates with teh exception of Romney or Paul get the nod. I'll vote for Romney if I must. I pray to God that I never have to make that decision about Paul.
I think Romney loses to obama. Rasmussen ran a poll not to long ago that 15% of Pubs will definitely not vote for him and another 17% said they were not likely to vote for him against obama. Romney may pick up some northeast liberals, but he loses the energetic vocal support of the base.
