I’m going to keep repeating it until it gets through to you. Ideally, we’d like to believe ANY GOP nominee can win. That’s not true. Look at Harry Reid. A highly unpopular incumbent. But who did the party nominate ? Someone whom some of us tried to warn would be the ONLY GOP nominee who would lose based on her baggage, track record, and high unpopularity. But, nope, all her cheerleaders kept insisting she could win. She lost.

Thankfully as one who has studied thousands of political figures and candidacies, I can tell you of one iron rule in politics. You cannot defeat an unpopular incumbent with an even more unpopular challenger. To make it even easier, let’s put it this way with this scenario... It’s Election Day in November. Zero has a 55% disapproval rating. Newt has a 60% disapproval rating. Take a wild guess who wins ?

LOL. Maybe you better put it in bold and underline it too.

This isn't that hard. Your opinion is just that, an opinion. It is not fact no matter how obstinate you are.

Newt has a 60% disapproval rating.

There you go again. Stating stuff that has no basis in fact as fact.

Here's a fact: 59.7% of your fellow FReepers think Newt Gingrich can win the general election against 0bama.

The one who has presided over the worst economy. If it’s on the upswing in November, Obama wins. If it’s still tanking, Atilla the Hun wins.

I realize Reid is unpopular on FR -- LOL! -- but I never heard he was especially unpopular in Nevada. In fact, IIRC, when Angle ran against him, he had to pull out all the stops with the unions and the casinos and call in markers in a way he never had to before.
