If you're claiming that name recognition is all that matters at this point in the primary process, you're correct. If you're claiming it's going to be determinative, you're very badly mistaken.
It’s not going to be someone later that doesn’t have it now.
The most likely outcome is Palin, so I’m not trying to hype Gingrich.
The concern for Conservatives would be a RINO. 2 RINOs could win, Romney or Gingrich.
I wouldn’t be so sure that Gingrich is dead. If RINO killing is the goal, get rid of Romney and Gingrich, don’t worry about any of those others, because they aren’t going to win.
I happen to prefer Ron Paul 1st and Palin 2nd. I don’t like Gingrich, but if you’re worried about competition, if he’s on the ballot, he’s a factor to win.
