Agreed that there is a trade off here. There are a lot of soccer moms that pulled that lever for Obama in 2008 that won’t pull that lever for Newt. They might for Romney.

Especially with HILLARY CLINTON replacing Biden as VP.
The media will go absolutely ga-ga over it.
Running the risk of being flamed, but you’re right. The working mothers, the ones who base everything on appearance won’t vote for Newt. They didn’t vote for McCain, either. Newt will look like a short fat guy standing there next to Obama. It’s just the facts. I wish it wasn’t the case, but this country is FULL of people who vote based on appearance of the person alone, not their convictions, stands or anything else. I’m not sure they’ll vote for Romney, either and I believe the RNC made a huge mistake by not inventing a rock star for this election. I’m really not hopeful about the presidential election, between the republicans who claim they’ll stay home if Romney is the nominee and those who I know won’t vote for Newt because he’ll look like the short fat guy next to Obama.........I don’t know, maybe the focus should just be on the senate. But then, I live in a state where a very conservative senator was voted out of office for a democrat who led people to believe he was anti abortion, so, maybe there isn’t hope.
Bingo!
Women almost always vote mostly for Democrats. We almost never get the majority of the female vote. It’s condescending of you to think women will only vote for a “pretty boy” candidate. This is why the establishment morons picked Dan Quayle for V.P. How did that work out? Women are capable of analyzing all aspects of a candidate just like men are. We will probably never get the majority of the women vote in a presidential election but we don’t need it and we will get all we need with Newt.
