Herman Cain is the only candidate that inspires me to want to go out and support a GOP ticket.
Newt may be the best debater but he tends to drone on when asked a question but I get lost at times in his monologue deliver.
I think a Cain/Newt ticket would get all invigorated in 2012.
Aw jeez. When I start agreeing with MNJohnnie, that’s when I need to go buy a freakin’ parka, ‘cause hell’s frozen over.
Newt is their buddy. That’s why the WSJ is now promoting him with articles like “Why Gingrich Can Win” and other b.s.—never mind that he won’t make it through the primaries if he remotely makes it into stalking horse distance. The man is scummier than a frog’s armpit, and about as trustworthy as a rattlesnake. That he’s up on that stage is testimony to the fact that the GOP is a big tent—it even lets those who have cheated on their wives and dumped them at the side of their hospital bed run for the party nomination.
Versus Obama??? Um, yeah, I’ll take Newt.
The fact is, whomever is nominated isn’t merely running against Obama - they’re running against the press. Newt is the only one who can chew-up and spit-out the MSM.
And anyone who “sits it out” is casting a tacit vote for Obama, so shame on them.
“But Obama can say there are 57 States, doesn`t know the term for ‘wheeling and dealing in Austrian, likes to talk about being in St. Louis while he actually standing in K.C., Israel is a strong friend of Israel, his Intercontinental railroad,Iran doesn`t pose a serious threat,forgets what year it is when signing guest books,forges the age of his kids, AND GETS A FULL PASS EACH TIME FROM THE DOMINANT LEFT WING MEDIA”
But that doesn’t change for any GOP candidate. Perry’s made himself into the fool here. The media piled on, sure, but he keeps shooting himself in the foot. It’s not like CNBC made him forget the Department of Energy.

Oh, PUH-LEEZE. First, it’s not as if this were ever as stark a choice as X vs. Obama. Nearly all of them onstage would be better options than Zero from some perspective. But second, Newt is a particularly BAD choice for women and conservatives because he’s simply a dirtbag, and he’s a worse choice because he’s a bloviating, arrogant professor. If the GOP were dumb enough to allow that man to be its nominee, first, the ads will show his moral failings nonstop in key states, then, the ads will just play Gingrich himself. The man has spoken against key Republican principles enough recently, and on top of that, he’s just a terrible, terrible speaker given the time to hang himself. This debate format is his dream job, with sound bites all that candidates have time to spit out. But given the speechmaking he’s done in the past as speaker and as a fundraiser, he’d be in a huge hole in the general both with women and with conservatives walking away from him. They wouldn’t be sitting out—they’d be walking out. I don’t care what media types he can chew up and spit out. Newt as nominee could very well be Barry’s chance for reelection, and I don’t make that “electability” argument often right out of the chute.
I think Newt does tend to ramble, getting lost in his own sentences. He is not a people person. But he would make a good Chief of Staff for Herman Cain. Then I like John Bolton, though he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, as SOS. A very experienced Duncan L. Hunter as the Chair of the DOD. Governor Scot Walker may make a good VP for Mr. Cain. He is gutsy and conservative, though Wisconsin would miss him I’m sure.
Who other than Gingrich would you consider if you were Mr. Cain?
Good point, but I don’t think he would go for that.
Well, there are plenty of others that would
I would like to see a Cain/Palin ticket. Mainly because in 8 years Sarah would still be young enough to run for Pres and no one else in this field except Michelle Bachman will be. Otherwise we will be back in the place where Bush/Cheney left us, open door for Dems.
