Santorum will lose if nominated to King Obama. Mitt will lose also. The only hope we have is Newt Gingrich.
It is my firm belief that none of these guys can beat Obama, only the economy can beat Obama.
If the economy gets worse anyone would win agaisnt Obama.
If the economy gets better anyone would lose.
Might as well stick it to Mitten’s !
Whose head-to-head general election matchup numbers have always been much worse than Mitt, and have been much worse than Santorum in the last month.
Other than the "debates will magically save everything" and wishful thinking, what are the credible arguments that Newt wouldn't get destroyed much worse vs. Obama?
Newt Gingrich has higher national negatives than either Romney or Obama. He would be a real option only if more than half the electorate wasn’t women.
That was actually the 'conventional wisdom' until late October, 1980.
I'd rethink your pessimism, if I were you.
(And don't say Santorum is no Reagan. That's not the point. Most people didn't know that Reagan was Reagan in 1980, so it wasn't a factor).
Newt could not get 39% of the female vote. You are dreaming. It would be 1964 redux.
“The only hope we have is Newt Gingrich.”
I’ll try to break it to you gently.
You ain’t got no hope if Newt’s the only hope you got.
