Some days it seems Republicans' greatest hope is that Democrats will self destruct.
Newt Gingrich was in town Wednesday and I asked what it would take for the GOP to regain its popularity. The former House speaker, who led the Republican resurgence of the mid-1990s, responded that Barack Obama is this generation's Jimmy Carter, and predicted the current administration will saddle the country with debt, inflation and weak foreign policy.
"I think (the GOP) is going to regain popularity pretty quickly," he said.
These days, Gingrich is building an organization called, "American Solutions," which is developing a blueprint to overhaul the country's economic, education, energy and science policies. But he seems to share Tea Party demonstrators' schadenfreude that Democrats will crumble and make Republicans stand or at least appear taller.
Meanwhile, the Public Policy Institute of California's poll shows Obama holding steady with a 70-percent approval rating among the state's adults, same as two months ago.

Barking up the wrong tree there, Newt. Bring back the Contract With America and polish it up a bit to stress Freedom and Liberty. We don't need the govment developing "blueprints" to overhaul the country. That's what keeps us in the perpetual messes we are in. Just get govmint out of the way and let private industry do its job.
Instead reduce regulation. Sound money. Low marginal tax rates. Reduced federal spending. Accelerated cost recovery. R&D tax credits. Strong defense. It worked once and can work again.
newt is slower than a smart car... hussein passed catah in the first week.

This Pres is going to make Jimmy Carter look like one of the Founding Fathers!!!
Worth repeating.
But unfortunately the Obama directors are far far more psychologically savvy than many comments here or even the conservative (honest) opposition. They will tune up the appropriate aphorisms, or pull up the appropriate statistic when required (e.g. election time), and can even make the naive feel cool while plunging them into the cesspool.
There is virtually no conservative in the arena that can take them on fundamentally, logically, and forcefully. And young Americans are not getting any smarter (e.g. Obama support itself).
Rather obambi is a CPOS
