Obviously his greatest improvement was in the first debate. His likability improved because of respect and admiration for his ability, if not necessarily for relatability. But this election was too important to pick a candidate who still had his campaign training wheels on. I still think Newt Gingrich would have pulled this off. He would have had no problem relating to the common, blue collar white guys that stayed home. They would've believed that he was on their side. And he wouldn't have held anything back when criticizing Obama.
“Newt Gingrich would have pulled this off. He would have had no problem relating to the common, blue collar white guys that stayed home. “
You know this is persuasive. I had dismissed Newt because of the three marriages and false attacks the Obama machine would rain down on him.
But, they did the did the same thing to Romney with 87 percent negative ads anyway.
I wonder if Newt would been more aggressive in attacking the colossal failures of Obama and wouldn’t be tagged as super rich.
If it had been I, I wouldn’t have “criticized Obama” nearly as much as criticizing Obama’s vision and plan. I would have called it nucking futz, though something polite enough not to be bleeped on the air.
