It hasn't really in the past. At some level, you have to like the person. So while I wish for issue swayed voters, the past says that it takes more than that.

And I didn't vote for Clinton. But as noted above, what Clinton did matter later on. Waht Newt did will here as well.

It's early, and SC GOP is a very, very limited audience.

But it’s worth keeping in mind that even before Marianne Gingrich went public, Newt Gingrich was already facing tough odds when it comes to his support among women nationally — a factor that underscores the argument made by his GOP rivals against his electability in the fall.

There typically tends to be a gender gap in presidential general elections, as women vote more Democratic than men.

But a CNN/Time/Opinion Research survey conducted Jan. 11-12 showed that among national adults, Gingrich faces the biggest gender gap of all the GOP contenders.

Sorry, tell yourself what you want, but i'm merely pointing it out to you. By all means, pick Newt. or Santorum. Either works for me. :coffeepap

Newt scares the crap out of 'em. You see it in every post.

I picked Santorum because I didn't much care for the liberal way that Newt, and Mitt were attacking each other, however it is the General that matters, and any of our candidates will crush Obama in the fall as long as they keep the focus on what it should be on, and that is the failing record that Obama wants to run away from.

Eighty, Democrats are scared of Republicans, and Republicans are scared of Democrats. I do not see how this gives anyone a leg-up in the conversation. I was scared of Palin getting the VP slot, just as I am scared of Kucinich getting the keys to the land.

I would agree on both counts.

Well, the question I would ask you is, does Newt Gingrich getting the nomination cause some fear for you? It does not to me, but if it does, I hope you aren't contradicting yourself in order to dismiss Newt's impact (positive impact that scares liberals, according to Eighty's implied meaning), which liberals sometimes did with Palin.

Fear? Not the nomination. I really don't believe he can win. But, he is more a politician than Snatorum, and not quite as nutter. I remeber Newt from the conservative revolution. He didn't fare well then, as far as being electable, and I don't think he'll fare well now.

Now as for his impact? He has ideas that catch on. He was largely responsible for the conservative revolution with the contract with America stuff. And I bought into some of that. But he wouldn't be good for America over all. Not Santorum bad, not Palin bad. But bad all the same.

For me, I find I always want better choices in both parties, and rarely if ever see them.
 
So if in some crazy universe, Gingrich gets the nomination, and it looks close for the general election, you are not fearful?

No. I would be shocked if he won the general. But say even that happened. We survived Bush and others. We would survive Newt. And like with Bush and Obama, the worse possible thing for a party is to have everything with no meaningful opposition. The penulum may just swing faster today.

No, just sick of assholes bashing America about moral values and then cheating on their wives and leaving their children. You approve of that?

Nope. Never said I approve of it. Just said it is irrelevant when looking at what kind of job he'll do as president.

Maybe I should have been more clear. While the Dems are very vulnerable this year, my personal belief is that they fear Gingrich more, in that they see him as more formidable than the other candidates. That Gingrich has been able to gather as much momentum as he has, when so many wrote him off, is something they did not expect. That one can rally as he has is something we have not seen in GOP politics in a very long time.

I have no fear of Kucinich getting the keys, btw. Not that I trust him with them .... hardly. He'll just never get them. ;)

Attacks are indicators of fear? Hardly. Gingrich is an idiot and a slimey lizard, however, if he can take out Romney then I'll support him 100% until the GE.

LOL.....Liberals LOVED Palin for the same reason that we love Newt.

Bull. This happens all the time in primary races.

I see no reason to try and placate liberals that have no intention in electing anyone other than Obama...So, it isn't you or Boo that we have to satisfy with explanation of anything....You ought to be more worried about your own guy...He's going down....

Yes. Just look to where they aim their mud, and in the case of Gingrich, extra amounts of it. You can go an entire thread and not see a single intelligent post by a liberal with regard to the GOP primary. Its disappointing, as we are here for the sport of debate ..... and instead all we get is fear and spittle from them. But their effort is swamped in fear regardless.

While I am a Gingrich supporter, I am OK if Romney is the guy to challenge Obama. Either one can kick that jackass off the map.

Suddenly you're shutting up. Interesting. Usually you're not the least bit afraid to spew your views. You usually just make up one crazy idea, and when that's disproven, you move to the next one. Have you run out?

No. It does not. Gallup has already said that this is the most volatile primary since they started keeping track.

How about posting with some credibility, instead of making stuff up ? One more frivilous post, and you are buried on my Ignore list.
