Newt vs. Obama is not even close to Reagan vs. Carter. First, Reagan had great skills at making the general electorate comfortable with him. Newt has no such skill. Quite the opposite. He has greater skill at making people uncomfortable with him. Second, Carter and his handlers were not vicious “kick ‘em in the crotch” Chicago machine thugs and Marxists as are the Obama ilk. God help us if we nominate Newt. The Obama jackals will get no negative feedback (probably much positive feedback)from most of the electorate as they rip Newt to shreds. The average voter won’t buy into such tactics against Romney. In fact, such tactics may backfire. Let Romney take out Obama so that the real work can begin in the trenches. Nominate Newt and Obama wins. We can bring the influence of conservatism to Washington in ways other than directly thru the presidency only if we win the congress and the presidency, and that will be our challenge and obligation. Sadly, Ronnie is dead.
