FLASHBACK 1980........All the smart guys on TV and in the press said Ronald Reagan was not electable. They said if the Republican voters make the mistake and make him the nominee he suffer a Goldwater like defeat at the hands of Jimmy Carter. When all was said and done, Reagn blasted Carter by 10% and carried 44 states against Carters. He even carried Massachusetts and NY!

Here were are again. All the smart guys on TV and the press say the same thing about Newt. I, for one, am sure they are wrong. Newt has already been declared dead 3 times, but he keeps coming back. He is the only equipped for a tough fight against the boy Marxist. He’s the only one with the stones to attack Obama. Newt is the ONLY guy in the race that CAN win.

Thanks, I remember that era well.

Everything you stated was TRUE. I thought, however, I would amplify your final statement a little more loudly.

Newt is the ONLY guy in the race that CAN win.

I clearly remember watching "Washington Week in Review" the weekend before the 1980 election...two of the four panelists picked Carter to win. I remember thinking, what planet are they living on? I had attended a Reagan rally several weeks earlier (even got to shake hands with RR) that was bursting with enthusiasm.
