The candidate has only to get out his own voters ~ by the time the campaign arrives, that's too late to change minds.

People will turn out or a leader who speaks their language. Romney does not connect. Gingrich can connect standing there with his pants on the ground.

Newt Gingrich would of carried the Free Republic vote by 100% and lost the election by a larger margin than Romney.
And if that pompous ass had dropped out before the Michigan primary when it had become apparent there was no way he was getting the nomination we might have stopped Romney and nominated Santorum. Who would of probably lost the election too.

You honestly believe left-his-wife-while-she-was-stricken-with-cancer had a shot during the general election? We had enough to deal with concerning Bain Capital. You think the press would have ignored Newt’s heavy baggage?
