A very unelectable "most electable"

I hate to break the news to South Carolina Republicans, but the winner of their primary was President Obama.

Newt Gingrich has much too much baggage. He probably is best suited to win the Conservative and Tea
Party crowd, but they will not elect anyone and many of them are disturbed by his high-paid consulting work for Freddie Mac. Even Democrats who are unhappy with President Obama would come out to vote against Newt.

Newt will bring out more Democrats who hate him for his hypocritical attack on President Clinton's affair when he was having one of his own. He will bring out more Independents who hate him because they feel he is mostly responsible for the deep divisions in our country. They point to his "Contract On America" which was erroneously called "The Contract for America," as
the turning point. There will probably be a vast number of Republican women who will probably sit on their hands rather than vote for this serial philanderer.

None of the GOP candidates have as many negatives or have built up as much animosity as Newt.

Even Glenn Beck has said he's the one Republican candidate he couldn't vote for.

I fervently hope you are right. I hope that Obama can handle Newt during the presidential debate. Newt is Hitler like in his approach and requires a skillful opponent.
