What is it about this primary season that causes Republicans to go around the bend? The current beneficiary of the anyone but Romney mania is Newt Gingrich, who may actually win the South Carolina primary tomorrow. I find that astonishing. Gingrich has been mostly out of the public view since he retired from Congress 13 years ago. The most surprising feature of this endlessly surprising political year is that, at age 68, Gingrich has made a comeback.
It is hard to make clear-cut statements about the mercurial and often contradictory Gingrich, but one thing we can say with absolute certainty: he will never be President of the United States. Put aside the fact that he lasted only four years as Speaker of the House before resigning in disgrace, leaving Congress with an approval rating around 15%. Forget that he was the father of the earmark. Never mind his notorious lack of self-control and his attacks on free enterprise. Those are all worthy topics for another day, but for the moment lets just focus on the allegations by Newts second ex-wife that hit the press this week. Apart from all the other good reasons why Gingrich will never be President, Marianne Gingrichs sensational allegations snuffed out any possible hope that Newt can beat Barack Obama in 2012.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
It’s ma’am and semantic semantcs, he said her statements were “false” is that not calling her a liar? It is in my book
yeah well, the guy was not even able to get himself on the ballot in VA...........
Advocating for and/or defending the killing of the unborn is not moral. It is what separates the amoral, liberal left from the moral, conservative right. Mitt Romney would be espousing support for abortion if he thought it would get him elected. He has done as much in the past.
Thank You for the pings, my FRiend. :-)

milway zotted. He said he wanted a brokered convention.
I didn’t see where he said he’s voting for Romney in the primary.

See @234 another zot for you.
Theoden is my favorite LOTR character. Thank you for that.
Did Romney promise to release his tax returns?
If he does that, what will Obama’s response be? Nothing?
Has Obama come out yet and attacked the primary candidates, yet? Or was that just the MSM.
The thing is, there is no distinction between the MSM and Obama, yet.
How much of a distinction is there between the MSM and Romney?

What was your previous screen name?
Oh, that's right, you can't answer.....

It is especially troubling because the same people on here attacking Romney all seem to be giving the Newtster a complete past on his past transgressions.

Not that you can answer, but Newt is a Christian, Romney isn’t. Morality means nothing if it is in service to Satan.
You’re welcome, dear.
Good form, great flame, and thorough destruction! I give you a +10!
BTTT.
I was more commenting on the original post than yours. Your post reflects reality—take the best of limited options, rather than pine for Christ Himself to descend into the primaries (though, given how this country is now, He’d be unelectable anyway).
“...rather than pine for Christ Himself to descend into the primaries (though, given how this country is now, Hed be unelectable anyway).”
Ha, well, Christ wasn’t electable in his day, either, even when up against Barack Hussein Barabbas.
