Would you consider voting for Gingrich to be president of the United States?

Not unless he was running against a literal reincarnation of Hitler, and even then I might just stay home on election day.
 
I would vote for him in the general election, but not in the primary.

If he was the nominee and it was between him and Obama, I'd grit my teeth and vote for him. He won't get my vote in the primary, but he's one of the few Republican candidates I'd vote for if I had to. Someone like Perry or Bachmann or Santorum, I'd rather vote for Mickey Mouse.

Fox News blames Obama, Pelosi, and Reid...
 
A candidate that co-sponsored the called fairness doctrine and supports amnesty for illegals? Hell no.
 
I'm always open to the possibility of changing my mind, but I can say I find it highly highly unlikely that I would ever vote for Gingrich.

As to whether he will win, it's impossible to say. I think it all depends on what the market does this summer/early fall.

If there was an open primary in Oregon, I might vote for him or one of the other crazies, but I would never vote for him in the general election. :mrgreen:
 
Romney is starting to appear desperate, and there are 20 some days left until voting begins. I think it's likely Gingrich can win the nominee. He just has to hold onto his lead and not screw up. Romney is in the position of screwing himself out of desperation though. I really have no moral issue with watching Romney struggle and fumble so much, he seemed smug in the beginning and acted like he wasn't going to have a fight on his hands. The guy flip flopped so many times, he owes it to the voters to hold himself accountable for his own record and stop talking in circles and giving himself room to back pedal. The guy gets on my ever last nerves.
 
Until recently, because for many years I had assumed that what I'd heard about his serving divorce papers on his spouse in the hospital where she was treated for breast cancer was true, Newt was on my can't-vote-for list. (Romney remains.) He is now on my hold-my-nose list if necessary.

I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 because his views on every major issue are diametrically opposed to mine. Now, however, I have seen for myself his weakness. His ineptness. I want him gone. I am not prepared to vote ABO, and I am, in fact, prepared to not vote at all for the first time in my life.

But yes, with a clothespin on my nose, I might, maybe, be able to vote for Gingrich if it means driving an incompetent failure of a President out of office.

What weaknes and ineptness of Obama's are you specifically talking about?

What if he was convicted of ethics violations?

Pffftttttt... screw the major breach of ethics!!!1!1! :roll:

There are certain things which would lead me to not support a candidate no matter what their position on issues. Not many things, but a couple. Found guilty of major ethics violations is the top item on the list.

Show me an ethical politician and I will show you a liar, lol.

Not defending Newt, I would have trouble voting for him.

Assuming that is true, what about the ones who are incompetent enough to get caught?
 
I don't honestly think Gingrich will be on the presidential ballot - he is already fumbling on the issues and has an enormous walk-in closet full of skeletons. His latest announcement (one which literally made me LOL) regarding his pick for the Secretary of State will definitely have moderate GOPs thinking twice before voting for him in the primaries.
 
You could be right. Gingrich would be a bitter pill to swallow for many. Count me as among those who despair of having a candidate to vote for.

But don't count Gingrich out because there are even more voters who believe that anybody but Obama should be elected in 2012.
