Newt 2012
I haven't written much about election season so far, mostly because it's been so damn boring. Last night, however, I was truly excited for what might transpire in the Republican primary. I'm hoping for a strong Gingrich victory tomorrow, not because I think he'd be an easier candidate for Obama to defeat (he probably would be), but because he's so entertaining to watch.
Check out this instant classic from the opening minutes of last night's debate:
Nevermind that Gingrich cheated on and divorced on his first wife while she was in the hospital suffering from cancer, nevermind that he actually did partake in an open marriage with his second wife, nevermind that this is the same guy who led the charge to impeach Clinton for his transgressions- Newt can turn all that around and blame the media, literally moving the audience to their feet! That's talent! It's no wonder he's leads in South Carolina by 6 points:
I still think that Gingrich, while a more formidable debater overall, will lose to Romney for the nomination because he has so much baggage that if he were to buy an airline ticket, he'd have to double the cost because of all the charges he'd rack up for it. He is, regardless, the most entertaining and charismatic candidate left and I'm looking forward to upcoming fight for Florida.
