It's too bad this more sober estimation of Gingrich is not what presently characterizes the support he is getting from conservatives.

He's getting a lot of polling help from the left. Just yesterday my liberal cousin sent out an email with about 6 dozen different polls to "bump" for Newt. She also posted a bunch of them on her facebook wall.

She's a militant lesbian "activist".

Good grief.

I said from the beginning that there was going to be huge impact on Dem voter intensity if Newt gets the nomination.

Many of them were angry at Obama and might have stayed home.

But nominating Newt will have the same effect on them as the effect on GOP voters if the Dems nominated Nancy Pelosi: crawl over broken glass to vote against the guy.

Can it be helped at this point?

Nope.

But it’s a fact.

Dem voter intensity WILL play a significant role in the outcome. On the other side of the aisle, there may be a building voter intensity in the other direction among values voters who feel the party’s starting to sound too much like Clinton voters — not just supporting Newt, but going further by declaring loudly and often “I don’t care what he does!”
