Who is your candidate? If it is any other than Romney or Paul, you had better get busy, don't you think? You keep wasting your time on attacking Gingrich, while your (fictitious) candidate gets trounced.

The three most conservative candidates in the race are Bachmann, Santorum, and Perry. They have their warts, but any one of them is better than Gingrich and Romney. I was disappointed that neither Santorum or Bachmann tried to get on the ballot in VA. It undercuts their seriousness as a candidate in it for the long term. Perry has been better than the rest except for Romney at raising money.

If you think my "attacks" on Gingrich are terrible, just wait for the Dems to turn him inside out. If you recall, Gingrich had and has very high negatives. He is not a very likable politician and has been on both sides of every major issue. His personal life is a mess. And I question his ability to run a national campaign, one in which Obama will have $1 billion, vastly more than Gingrich or any other Rep will have. And frankly, I don't see Gingirch or Romney being committed to rolling back the welfare state. Both are big government Reps or "frugal socialists" like Bachmann calls them.

Last time, McCain became the presumptive nominee of the party garnering just 33% of the primary vote. The race was over after FL and SC. I followed the McCain campaign during the primaries for four days each in FL and SC demonstrating against his amnesty policies. After seeing him firsthand in action at these events, I knew he was a sure loser despite the MSM adulation (at least during the primaries.) This time around, due to changes in the primary rules, including the elimination of some winner take all primaries, the primary season will last longer and be a better test of the candidates ability to run good ground games and raise money. The first vote has yet to be cast so it is a little premature to rally around one candidate or to conclude that this is just a two person race.
