metametameta: Eventually Republicans are just going to have to bite the bullet and accept Romney, and that will be a bitter, bitter day for them.

I'm still convinced they won't do that, even if it means four more years of Obama.

1. Nominate someone other than Romney
2. Redirect efforts to re-take the Senate
3. ???
4. Force Obama to shut down the government, after there's not a budget for the third consecutive year.
5. Elect the fat guy from New Jersey in 2016.

Third party Tea Party candidate!!!

heh!

I believe that's the only rational choice. Tea Partiers should definitely nominate 9-9-9 or FrothBoy (or even CrazyEyes) and run HARD against the party-line GOP. I think they should try to siphon off as much of the fundie Christian vote as possible. Heck, since most of the country self-identifies as Christian, they'd have a great shot!

Nothing new there, but a biased hyperbolic article. "Practically spooning Pelosi"?? Yea, the author is an unbiased observer for sure. Evangelicals have already started giving him a pass on his divorces because *gasp* they believe in redemption and a persons ability to change for the better. He made 1.6 million over what, 8 years, consulting for Fannie and Freddy? Wow, that's some huge graft there Lou.
Supports the individual mandate? Umm, slight difference, Newts would only begin with people who make $50,000 a year or more, Obama's includes everyone.

Oh and cheating on your wife was made a non-issue back in the 90's and is not remotely as negative as sexual harassment so trying to make 2 divorces (one of which was asked for by his then wife, you know, the one who's still living but supposedly he had sign papers on her death bed). None of these attacks are going to sink him. The negative research peeps will have to come up with better, and considering Newts been a national public figure for a few decades now will make that job more difficult than it was for other GOP front runners.

/Really do hope Newt wins the primary, because I would love to see him debate Obama - would not guarantee a Newt Win but the debates would be fantastic.

Corvus: This guy had to resign just because he sent pictures of him in his underwear. Why did he have to do that again?

Umm, apples to oranges dude. As far as I know Wiener didn't resign because he was cheating on his wife, you know, just like you pointed out in your post. He was sending inappropriate pictures of himself to a young girl. Politics is a dirty business and he was forced out by his own party at a time when they were shellacked in elections and the media was having a field day. Had it happened at another point in the cycle, he may very well have survived.

Corvus: Yes she wanted a divorce because Newt was cheating on her and treating her like crap while she was going through cancer!!

Umm, she asked for the divorce before she started receiving treatment for what turned out to be a benign tumor and neither she nor his children hold any bitterness towards him. I think you're the one spinning.

And during the Monica Lewinski scandal and ensuing impeachment, Newt, though married, was getting head in his official office from a young intern. Unlike Clinton, he divorced his wife and married the intern, which may or may not be better behavior, but the hypocrisy was startling even by a DC yardstick.

Gingrich has also repeatedly suggested that NASA could pay for itself if it offered zero-G sex tourism, and that men are ill-suited to desk jobs because they get the urge to go hunt giraffes, and that he could "solve the orphan problem" by giving every orphan a one-time gift of a laptop computer. And he thinks menstruation is an infection. And he's recommended taxing foreigners (a good trick), using the military to force Canada into more favorable trade deals, and preventing registered Democrats from being allowed to vote.

He's also the worst kind of anything-for-money lobbyist. Jack Abramoff, of all people, has repeatedly said Newt is a corrupt SOB.

He's an idiot who convinces dumb people that he's smart, and an asshole who can't convince much of anyone he isn't an asshole. He thinks child labor laws cause poverty. If you meet someone who admires him, you can safely think less of them.

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Latest polls have Gingrich riding high while Cain tumbles to Perry numbers.
I guess it'll take a few days for Republicans to remember why they didn't want this guy in the first place.

Think we'll see Santorum bubbling up next?

santorum....bubbling up....lol.

Well, Newt is just such a flaming colostomy bag. Hard to keep quiet about him.

Gingrich and Romney both have souls. The difference is that Romney's is bland and weak, whereas Gingrich's is foul, smarmy, and stupid.

They're called "unemployed hippies", Subby. Get it right.

Corvus: 21 and 26 year old is "underage" now?

Funny, I never said "underage" but you know, don't let facts stand in the way of your bad spin.

whidbey: Notabunny: RandomAxe: foul, smarmy, and stupid.

Aren't they three of Gingrich's seven dwarves?

The other 4 look like miniature versions of Callista.

Oh, great. Now I'll be having Chucky dreams tonight.

UCFRoadWarrior: Without the religious conservatives, the GOP cannot win

The Democrats could nominate Jesus, and would still lose Alabama and Mississippi.

Any Republican will sweep the South. Romney starts to compete in PA, WI, MI, and probably wins OH, and IN easily.

CanisNoir: Corvus: 21 and 26 year old is "underage" now?

Funny, I never said "underage" but you know, don't let facts stand in the way of your bad spin.

You put forth the proposition that there are "facts" in the politics tab. Can you defend this?

dickfreckle: But this overgrown hemmorhoid threw a full-on tantrum, like a child would

Well he does look like a 60 year old baby.
