If Romney or Santorum is a disaster as president, then we’ll get a Democrat takeover of Congress in 2014 and possibly even Obama running again for his 2nd term in 2016. Then if he won, he would have the hugest mandate of all time. Simply winning this election is not what our goal needs to be. We need to win with someone who WILL BE A GOOD (IF NOT GREAT) PRESIDENT. Otherwise we can expect to have the most powerful radical liberal government we’ve ever seen in 4 years. It would arguably be better to lose this election if we don’t have a potentially good President as the nominee. Newt’s the only guy based on his track record in the House that we can GUARANTEE will do a great job by promoting the right policies.
You mean like this guy..
“In 1994, there was only one person who consistently believed Republicans could weather the storms and capture control of the Congress for the first time in four decades; in 2012, he is a candidate for President.”
or this guy... “I’m not sure [Gingrich] ever had a lot of friends here, and I’m not sure he cared, because he came here to accomplish a purpose, not to make buddies,” said Ken Kies, an influential tax lobbyist and a Gingrich donor. “Newt led a revolution, so that tends to leave bodies on the floor.”
