Current consensus of polls show Obama vs. Romney head-to-head = too close to call (within margin of error).

Current consensus of polls show Obama vs. Gingrich head-to-head = landslide, double digit Obama victory.

I’ve been here since 1998 and honestly, I’m scratching my head. I have to ask myself: Why does the Free Republic founder want to see President Obama re-elected in 2012? Because Jim Robinson is a smart guy, he knows that Newt’s negatives are off the chart. Even if I conceded that Newt was the more conservative candidate (and I don’t), can someone explain to me how he is going to get people who voted for Obama in 2008 to change their vote to Newt in 2012? It is nonsensical on its face. And Obama is still on the ticket last time I checked and his voters haven’t died - which is more than one can say about many McCain 2008 voters.

For whatever bile folks may spew on Romney, the polls indicate he is far more likely to convince Obama 2008 voters to vote for a moderate Republican this go-around.

Dealing to a inside straight is no way to play, and this is FAR more important than poker.

Sorry, pal, if you been here since 1998 then you shouldn’t have to ask why I’m not about to support or vote for an abortionist/statist RINO like Romney for president. And any poll showing Obama with double digits over Gingrich is a POS!!

If you wish to support Romney be my guest, but do it ELSEWHERE!!!
