Everybody said Reagan was the same way. He couldn't be elected the nominee and he'd never beat an incumbent Carter. He crushed his opponent in the GOP and buried Carter under a landslide of Biblical proportions. This is the thing that the liberals and their lackeys in the MSM hate: The fact is that conservatism when it runs AS exactly that, always resonates with the electorate in comparison to liberal realities and it usually wins political victories. So the left tries to pad it's side by trying to convince the RIGHT and the American electorate who are kept deliberately ignorant of the entire process and political acumen by their slaves in education that the only way to win is to elect a left of center "conservative." We fall for it every time, too. I'm backing Newt but I'd much rather have Bachmann. The best combo now would be for Newt to build a truly conservative administration by making either Cain, Bachmann or Santorum his veep. But Michelle is shooting herself in the foot, politically, by taking too many shots at Newt. Santorum would be a great pick. He's young enough to take over in 8 yrs. If Bachmann had a chance more than a snowball in a hot place, I'd be in her corner.

>>[Erin] Burnett [CNN]: There’s a conventional wisdom, though, that Newt Gingrich will cut his own legs off at some point, and that while he may sweep through the primary season, Mitt Romney’s the guy you have that’s actually electable versus Barack Obama.

Does that speak volumes about the MSM’s “vision” for the GOP candidate, or what??!?

They want us to have Myth Romney SO BAD.

There is something to be said about having some age and wisdom back in the white house. At 79, the history professor will have some valuable skills for the Presidency. Newt wasn’t my first or even second choice, but he is now in my top 3, and is far ahead of the other 2 in the polls.

Where did this stupid notion come from that Newt is undisciplined? From when he was banging that hill staffer during Klinton’s impeachment? Or is this just Beltway nonsense?

[susannah59]

I think if Mr. Cheney says don’t underestimate someone, I’d not want to underestimate that person.

[Mr. K]

What is driving Newt to the top is his lack of political-wimpy-talk

He gets up on stage and blasts Obama and that alone has propelled him to the top. You would think the other candidates would get a clue.

I used to love Bachman but if I hear her say “I will Fight For You” one more time I am going to lose it.

HINT: Michelle- which of your opponents WON’T promise to “fight for me?” - geez I think even Obama says he will “fight for me” - only it is more funny when he says it.
I HATE WHEN POLITICIANS TALK IN PLATITUDES

I disagree with some of Newt’s positions and do consider him a most disagreeable sort, but the current times might just need his type of personality. Someone who is not going to be consilliatory and reach across the aisle, and more importantly someone who will be willing to look the American people in the eye and tell them that what needs to be done will not be pleasant and they will not want it done but he is going to do it anyway as it is what MUST be done.

I’d settle for the Alinsky weenies on our side to stop whining about him.

Burnett: There's a conventional wisdom, though, that Newt Gingrich will cut his own legs off at some point . . .

Recycled gases borrowed by the mind of a twit. I guess she went to CNN because MSNBC wasn't liberal enough for her. The late, great Mark Haines was a saint for putting up with her relentlessly conventional, gee-gosh, socialist talking points.

[WPaCon]

I never understand the “unelectable” card being played on Newt.

He’s an articulate conservative with plenty of experience and does not have a personality that many would consider abrasive.

On the other hand, I can see why all of the following candidates who had the “unelectable” card played against them could have been considered unelectable:

Cain—inexperienced
Perry—inarticulate
Bachmann—abrasive personality to many; only been a rep for a few years

If anyone knows the strength and value of Newt, it would certainly be Cheney.

Great news....

[hinckley buzzard]

Amid all the toxic waste around here it is refreshing to hear about Newt from someone who was actually there, and who actually knows WTF he is talking about.

Having said that, I'm sure we will soon be seeing "Cheney's a RINO!!" scrawled across the wall.

[Yaelle]

Hmm. So where does newt want to take the presidency? Where is his win this time? I am a Cheney fan.
