If you think you and yours can nominate a real conservative, be my guest and try. Ain't gonna happen this time. No real conservative has the name rec or the star power except Gingrich, who probably won't run. And if nominated, Newt -- very unfortunately -- wouldn't win.
Newt would obliterate Hillary in a general election.
Watch this woman closely. She's the worst campaigner you're ever going to see. Yes, worse than John Kerry. She's a totalitarian sound-bite machine and she has a voice like a car alarm. I don't care how much money she has, I don't care if ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN play Pachabel's "Canon" every time she speaks. Without a third party candidate, she cannot and will not win.
And having no pro-life, pro-2A candidate in a national race leaves the third-party spoiler door off the hinge.
