The Repubs might yet be able to WIN this thing! All we need is a non-socialist nominee.

I think if all the purported delegates ARE willing to bolt, a person like Newt showing "interest" could make other delgates take note.

The GOP might want Mitt, but I'm not so sure he's very popular amongst the masses.

I think only 2 people (maybe 3) can adequately articulate their positions vs Ibama.

Newt has enough bulldog in him to go toe to toe with I.

Barack Obama is so thoroughly hideous that even Mitt Romney could walk away with the presidential election in a near Reaganesque landslide. If Obama hoped to win, as an incumbent he needs to be way ahead in the polls now. He isn’t, and typically undecideds break heavily in favor of the challenger.

However, discontent with Romney may force concession promises from him in order to get a smooth GOP approval of his nomination rather than the dust raising, bruising battle he does not want in the news. Such as a more conservative VP candidate than he’d otherwise countenance.
