I think Newt needs to emphasize REELECTABILITY over electability. We can’t afford to nominate someone who isn’t competent, experienced and will do a good job as President. If our President does a bad job, we’ll lose Congress in 2 years and lose the presidency in 4 years, creating a powerful liberal majority with a mandate. Just focusing on who can get elected in November is dangerously shortsighted. Let’s look back to Newt’s sweep in 1994 after which we held onto Congress for 12 years and the Presidency for 14 years, partly because Newt did such a good job running things while he was there.
