Newt Gingrich Cannot Escape His Past

Newt Gingrich lacks the credibility to peel voters away from Obama

"Credibility"? You want to talk about credibility then start comparing Gingrich to Obama and you'll find more thinking Americans will see that Obama has very little credibility based on this record. Obama cannot run on his failed policies either domestically or internationally. Newt has core values and Barack will pander to every minority group just for a few votes!

Only Ron Paul could beat Obama.

(A) 2008 Obama voters who thought they were going to get 'Change'

(B) 2008 Obama voters who voted to end the wars.

(C) The VAST majority of the Independent vote,

(D) The entire GOP voting block who dislikes Obama enough to vote for Ron Paul instead.

(E) Ron Paul supporters coming out to vote in DROVES.

(F) Same-sex couples who want to be set free.

(G) Democratic, disillusioned Anti-Drug war voters.

(H) Libertarians.

Newt has baggage all right - different sets to go with each different persona. And no amount of photo ops of him in a pick-up can convince me that he's "one of the guys". He may be an intellectual, in that he can form a coherent sentence, but that's about all he has going for him with an electorate that is increasingly diverse and forward-thinking. Gingrich/Bachmann 2012! White people not giving up!
