Your post exudes reality and common sense. However, reading posts in this thread, it looks like people are thinking emotionally instead of logically. They are so anxious to whoop Obama in debates, they have been seduced by Newt.
But as you said, the democrats don’t give a rat’s behind how the debates go. Their hate for Newt is bigger by orders of magnitude than that. Just go to any left wing blog site and search for any posts who are impressed with Newt in a positive manner. It is just the opposite.
Nothing will depress me more than re-election of the Kenyan socialist on November 6th, 2012. If Newt is our nominee, I better keep a bottle Scotch handy.
However, primaries have a long way to go. I will be surprised if Newt makes it all the way to the convention. In-Trade is giving him 12.6% chance of getting the nomination.
Exactly.
This is why I've also been arguing that it's not only unnecessary, but myopic, to totally destroy our bench, particularly Cain.
People seem worried that if Newt stumbles, "we get Romney." But all that means is let's do something to prevent that, such as, for one, doing what we can to keep another not-Romney candidate viable.
