Well, I think many people predicted during the primaries that merely running a stopgap candidate on the crux of “Hey I’m not Barack Obama” wasn’t going to be an electorally viable strategy.
Someone who can communicate a real vision would’ve helped tremendously I think, which is why I went for Newt—though I dunno, the media may’ve made mince meat of him regardless of his strength at fighting them.
There aren’t any real political leaders left on the GOP side at this point IMO. The history and the experience it takes to forge such individuals just isn’t there.
That is exactly why I was for Cain, and then Newt.
Both have shown an ability to communicate their message despite the MSM, and to effectively challenge the MSM.
We cannot have future national candidates that cannot do this. Reagan did it *very* effectively.
