Does Gingrich have political “baggage”? More than you could carry on a commercial airliner.
That line by Prof. Sowell says it all. Newt is plainly and simply UNELECTABLE! Get back to earth. This is now a 2-man race. Newt can continue to be spoiler like what occurred in MI. He got zero delegates and garnered 7% of the vote which is more than double the margin by which Santorum was defeated.
It ain’t over til it’s over friend.
You are a very sick puppy. Same old spam each and every day.
I want to be here to listen to your cries of horror, when your televangelist completely burns out.... and he most certainly will.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
You are the ONLY one who has left the Earth, chasing rainbow politicians like Santorum.
And there is NOTHING (You like to emphasize with caps, so I threw them in on your behalf) in what Mr. Sowell said that claimed Newt was “UNELECTIBLE!”. On the contrary, he said the very opposite. And Newt is, very much ELECTIBLE!!!!
(What Thomas really said and you decided to miss;)
[”Newt Gingrich is the only candidate still in the field who can clearly take on Barack Obama in one-on-one debate and cut through the Obama rhetoric and mystique with hard facts and plain logic.
Nor is this just a matter of having a gift of gab. Gingrich has a far deeper grasp of both the policies and the politics than the other Republican candidates.”]
But the man who suffered an 18-point loss in his home state after two terms from the people who knew him best is somehow electoral gold? And that's exactly the kind of state he claims he's going to be strong in now.
If electability is your goal, vote Mitt. He's proven more electable in the primary so far even without getting the conservative vote. Or try to draft Hillary. She could beat Obama, and that's all you care about, right? Some of us would prefer to actually work to elect someone who can actually fix this country, not just be the establishment's lapdog and continue doling out the empty socialist promises.
Those 7 percentage points from Newt probably wouldn't go to Rick mostly. Rick has now proven he loses on competency and electability to Mitt. Gingrich was already divorced and remarried when he swept the House in 1994 and became Speaker. Everyone, liberal, moderate and conservative alike agree Newt is extremely smart. That's a huge personal advantage going into the election. It's easy to soften up various rough edges on a candidate, but you can't make a dumb guy smart.
And both of those men are Obama. He just calls the "republican" persona Romney. With either man we get Socialized Medicine. With both we get Liberal to Left judges. After those things it doesn't matter any more.
A lot of folks thought that about Clinton II as well...
WHY is Newt 'unelectable'?
The fact that Gingrich is still standing is evidence against your assertion. Gingrich is no more an opportunist than Henry Clay, and looking back, I think that we might have avoided a civil war if Clay had won in 1844.
I voted for Newt in Arizona yesterday. I’d do it again because he’s the best man still standing. Given the choice between mean old Newt or the continuation of the depression I think Newt will win.
I thought I heard that 13% of Santorum’s vote was from Democrat crossovers. Shouldn’t that have made up for the 7% that Voted Newt? BTW, that move of soliciting Dem votes must have been the type of ethics Santorum learned while working as a lawyer for Pro wrestling.
Newt may be the smartest and most knowledgeable candidate we’ve had in 50 years. We can’t settle for the lesser alternatives.

Sowell thinks Gingrich is the best candidate we have flaws and all, we know Santorum is your binky we get it.
Between your opinion and T Sowell who I would take seriously is a no brainer and it ain’t your constant whine.
