1) ) “Kenney used it....” yeah in Massechuttes don’t think any Republican is going to win California, Massechusetts, Connecticut etc...Newt sure won’t!!!!! Your logic is absurd!
2) What is Newts track record in national or state wide elections? NONE!!! Again, by losing at least in a state wide race or national race you learn from your mistakes as Reagan did. “Winning percentages” Of what comparing a district congressional race to state or national is like comparing double A minor leagues to the Majors. Plus not going to get into mathematics, but just look up “law of large numbers” and figure out yourself. Like flipping a coin. Need to flip enough to get a fair depiction of percentage value.
3) “Polls and name recognition” Newt has high name recognition among the most consistent voters in the general the mid age and older. They dislike him. One of the higest negative ratings. The younger people who dont know him will go for Democrat anyway mostly. Newt certainly won’t carry them.
4) “Media attack Mormon” yes you are right. However, media will attack all Republicans Santorum “christian nut”, Newt “Christian nut”, Perry “Christian Nut”, so Romney will be also “Mormon Nut” He is already defined and most independents won’t view him as a nut. Furthermore this attack will turn off the Independents.
5) “Romney won’t have nearly enough money...” He has more then all the folks you mention here so far. He has the ability to raise much more money then anyone else in the field except maybe Rick Perry. But Rick can’ t get money anymore. If he had performed well he would’ve been able to raise a lot of money too. NEWT can’t raise money, nor Santorum.
In truth it is that the independents are “center-right” folks in reality
Amazing.
You are a romney supporter, aren’t you? I didn’t think we had any of those around here. Thought they were extinct.
In any case, you’re wasting your time. He’ll lose in the general if not in the primary. It’s certain.
I don’t know what “Kenny used it...” means???? Of course they’ll not win Calif, Mass, or Conn. However, you’d like your candidate to at least win his own home state. Romney won’t. Gingrich would. Santorum has a great chance of winning PA, Perry would win Texas big time, and Huntsman Utah.
Newt, my friend, won many consecutive terms to the US congress. Moreover, he WON the election to Speaker of the House, the position, which you will recall was the position our founding fathers considered so important that they placed it pre-eminently in line to the presidency after the one chose as vice president. So, Newt has been briefed, had secret service, been at the highest levels of the national discourse.
Is Newt Gingrich electable? Moreso than Romney BECAUSE Romney has given away every single issue that could be used against Obama.
Newt has balanced the budget, reformed welfare, paid down the debt, taken over the House after a 40 year absence, and on and on. He has real strengths and not the phony strengths of a guy like Romney who couldn’t even do a halfway decent job as a governor in a small state. He brought them gay marriage, government paid abortions, Romneycare, and higher taxes. I’m sure that’ll inspire the conservatives in Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, etc.
No they will not attack Newt’s religion. He’s Catholic. Nor Santorum for the same reason. Nor Perry; he’s Methodist.
Romney’s silver-spoon background and his vulture capitalism at Bain will play right into Obama’s theme.
Romney is toast.
