RE :"The New Hampshire Union Leader credits Newt Gingrich with engineering the 1994 Republican Revolution when Republicans took their first majority in Congress in 50 years and Newt ascended to the role of Speaker. But Gingrich deserves more credit for ship-wrecking that Revolution. Within just two years, Newt Gingrich shut-down the government and his approval rating dropped to just 25 percent. It never recovered"

Newt doesnt sound quite that brilliant when the rubber meets the road and he is under stress, compared to being on a stage throwing out half-baked ideas that few question. He has been known to blow the whole game by not understanding the game and how to play it, and by talking.

In my own opinion, I think that anyone that sees newt as brilliant has a short elevator cable themselves.

But also Cain (as much as I like him) has made some noticeable fumbles on camera too. As a rule, Dems don't get media attention when it happens, GOP candidates do, with Romney mostly getting a pass for the time being (although Obama now is running a few anti-Romney ads just in case, and the media is likely to follow his lead). We are in danger of a repeat of 2008, with no conservatives left standing in the Presidential election.

Looks like four more years of the Kenyan is in order.
