The economy is not recovering. It’s a dead cat bounce. The real unemployment rate is continually hidden, the real estate market remains in the dumps, and gas prices still remain far too high. If Romney isn’t capable of articulating the reasons why Obama needs to go, then he will be a disaster as nominee. That is the real contrast between Romney and Gingrich that voters are viewing in the debates. They don’t want another “I’ll reach across the aisle” candidate like McCain.

You hit the nail on the head. Everyone but Newt is afraid to take on this president. I don't understand it.
The constant meme in the media is that Romney's the only candidate who can work with the other party and "get things done". That's the last thing this country needs right now. We need to roll back and ultimately squash this socialism which is killing us.
