"Newt Gingrich has taken the lead in PPP's national polling. He's at 28% to 25% for Herman Cain and 18% for Mitt Romney. The rest of the Republican field is increasingly looking like a bunch of also rans: Rick Perry is at 6%, Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul at 5%, Jon Huntsman at 3%, and Gary Johnson and Rick Santorum each at 1%."

Jude, I'd like to preemptively admit that we liberals are scared to death of Newt running against Obama. Please, please, please don't nominate this juggernaut!
 
Oh man, I really hope Newt gets the nomination. He's got soooooo much baggage it pretty much locks in a second term for Obama.
 
"November 5, 2011 — GOP presidential candidates Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich engaged in a 90-minute Lincoln-Douglas style debate Saturday evening at The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center in The Woodlands, Texas hosted by the Texas Tea Party Patriots PAC broadcast live by C-SPAN."



This video is ample evidence of why Newt should be the Republican candidate.

It's a strategy that worked well for McCain last time around. IIRC, Romney was the obvious choice last time, too, and McCain didn't pop up as a forerunner until the very end of the nomination process as all the others burned themselves out. McCain sort of swooped in at the end and got the nod.

And if he hadn't picked Palin he might have won.

Which is OK, I'm OK with Obama, and here's a secret ;) - so was McCain. He wanted to win, but he didn't care so much about being president.

My mom, to me the personification of the GOP base, is fine with Obama. Especially over a Mormon, which isn't fair. Nevertheless, I suspect a lot of people are fine with Obama, and that any attempt to demonize him is simply not going to work. He's a very smart, long-view kind of guy, and he's made the most out of a bad situation.
 
As a matter of fact that's Romney's secret strength - that he is more like Obama.

In other words, he favors universal health care, he steers clear of claims that God told him to run, he acknowledges that the other 6B-7B people on the planet exist (and matter).

Gingrich is smart enough but he's no tortoise to Romney's hare - not by a long shot.
