This Primary election is the mother of all “vote-for-the-least-worst” elections.
Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are all inconsistent conservatives, and terrible, terrible candidates.
Barack Obama is a sitting duck, and this is our field? A couple of relics from the 90’s, a man whose flip-flop resume dwarfs that of John Kerry, and an old doddering dwarf whose base is kook fringe truthers and medical marijuana advocates.
2012 sucks.
2011-2012 has been a bruising winnowing process, and some initially very promising candidates or would-be’s have fallen by the side. I was most disappointed to see Sarah Palin not grab this brass ring; she would probably have walked away with the nomination. But some say at unacceptable cost to her family. And she never punched at Obama quite like Gingrich has, repeatedly.
Gingrich is shining now, whether we like it or not. Again this is the Contract With America guy, and the handwriting on the wall is looking forward to Contract With America II. We could do far worse. FAR worse.
I feel the same. Newt is arrogant slick and no better than Romney.He will start on amnesty as soon as he gets the executive branch.Will deceive big time and get it done. Santorum is the best on this issue.
Glad DeMint is helping purge Senate we will need it. Presidency is a lost cause.
Yup. We're toast. How old is Newt Gingrich? He had a full head of white hair 20 years ago and looked old. Fortunately, i'm a partisan not an ideologue, like so many here, so when the time finally comes to raise money and rally the troops I will have little trouble doing it for any one of them, though I'm pretty sure what you have here is the second coming of John McCain.
