If you think that Newt Gingrich is unelectable, then you obviously must know what the electorate wants. So tell me, what is the one thing they want, that Gingrich doesn't have.
It's easy to project our values and desires on others and assume that they feel as we do. Freepers are a rare breed, engaged knowledgeable and passionate.
Electing a President requires capturing the vote of the squishy middle...people who only see headlines and are easily manipulated.
For this vast migratory group of voters it generally comes down to “how they feel” about a candidate. Is he “like-able.” Or does he make them feel uncomfortable for some unknown reason.
Unfortunately Newt falls into the latter category. Most people won't appreciate his intellect and experience. They will only see the billion dollars of negative headlines and the unfair labels. Or maybe it's just a nose hair.
The “Grinch” will be reborn and America will die a slow painful death in the hands of a victorious BO and a newly minted democrat congress. It's as plain as the hair on your head.
