Not if Newt is unelectable.
Of course he is electable. That’s a primary reason he’s the frontrunner.
Gingrich is no more unelectable than Romney. There, simply, is no right or wrong position regarding anyone’s choice of candidate. I know that there are legions of partisans desirous of influencing our choiices in this regard but it’s all Bullshit! Of relevance is the piss-poor performance of that bumbling marxist in the Whitehouse vis a vis our liberty and and our economic well-being. Any of the Republicans contesting for the Presidency could beat an abject failure, the likes of which we have never seen! Let’s get freakin’ real!
What makes Newt unelectable. He is better at articulating the opposing vision of Obama (ie the majority views on almost every issue) than anyone else in the field. He also has a tremendous experience building a national majority. Yes, we know he has warts, but he has a lot of positives, too. If he can withstand the scrutiny through IA, NH, SC, and FL and takes the lead without any major problems, he will have demonstrated pretty good capability for the general election.
