23% of Republicans Say they Won't Vote for Gingrich

[Toro]

From an ABC poll

Gingrich has considerable vulnerabilities that Romney must exploit to convince voters that Gingrich would lose in the general election. The former speaker is unpopular nationally and with independent voters. He is also unpopular in his own party. In New Hampshire exit polls, more than 60 percent said they would not be happy if he were the nominee. National polls show the same thing. In a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, 23 percent of Republicans said they would not support him. Only Ron Paul did worse. Women voters, an important swing voting bloc, do not like Gingrich.

23% of the Republicans say they won't vote for Gingrich... Does that mean that 77% of the Republicans are going to vote for Newt?

 

[Katzndogz]

We'll see! That's the wonderful part about voting (if the democrats don't use too much fraud).

When someone wins elections so decisively it is REALLY hard to keep bobbling about how unpopular he is.

23%?? That's good...so about 77% will, including some democrats that actually woke up and realized how screwed we are, and maybe another % of Libertarians will probably vote for him. I guess there's a very good chance Newt could win!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reality check. If ALL the Republicans like a candidate and vote for him, and ALL the dems like someone and vote for him, the election is about a dead-even tie. If Newt wins the GOP nod, no dems will vote for him and 23% of the republicans will stay home.

Newt would be a disaster for the GOP, especially looking at control of the House & Senate.

Besides, he's too old, too fat, and can only win in the GOP primaries. Check Newt's electability in the general election...

 

[merrill]

Is Newt too liberal?

Or simply just a immoral dope?

 

[occupied]

Newt is the republican version of Kato Kaelin, he's around but no one quite knows why.

And do you think ALL democrats will vote? Doubt it....
I know quite a few dems that will NOT vote for Obama again....
Ron Paul is 76 - Reagan was 73
Newt is 69. Too old?
Being fat or not is not a qualification...sorry.

Last Tuesday, only 18% said they would vote for Gingrich in the South Carolina Primary.

So much for polls 10 days before voting.

What does that say for polls 10 months before the vote?

It has jack shit to do with his age, or his weight. The problem is him - an amoral, corrupt, self serving, lying SOB. Easy.

What matters in the end,,,,,,is how a majority of Independents vote. A majority of Republicans will vote Republican, a majority of Democrats will vote Democratic,,it's basically a wash. The demographic that the fanatics from both the left and right hate, the moderate/Independent demographic decides who wins elections.

As opposed to? Hint, they are all amoral corrupt and self serving. That's what it takes to get to the job. And it's always been that way.
I'm more concerned with what are Newt's policies and world view and how likely is he going to be to implement some part of them. He is certainly going to be more capable than Obama. Probably more capable than Romney.

Newt will destroy this country if he wins the GOP since Obamination would win the election.

I nominate you for lamo post of the year.


and we've just started.

It's odds on that Obama will win anyway. I foresee the House and Senate going solidly GOP so we will ahve 4 years of gridlock in any case.

Romney will be down from Reid. Are you comfortable with that? LDS are wondering and so am I.

It's a little early for liberal media whining isn't it?

If Ginrich is the best the GOP can do, then its days are numbered. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

This is a man who crashed the party on the rocks and left his last elected office, well over a decade go, in complete disgrace.

A serial hypocrite then and now, and sacrilegious to boot.

He hates people more wealthy than he is, and wants to raise their taxes, even though he illegally evaded them.

He said bringing up his extramarital affairs the week of a presidential primary was the most despicable thing ever, even though he ran ads about Clinton's affairs the week before an election. The same election where he crashed and burned the party, and was shortly found afterwards to be having an affair of his own.

He says politicians who were connected to Freddie Mac lobbyists should be in jail. Then it turns out he worked for Freddie Mac's top lobbyist for several years.

He says he told Freddie Mac that what they were doing was crazy, and yet the speech he gave to Freddie Mac in 2007 is full of nothing but praise for their work and he says there should be more GSEs modeled after them.

Every time he tells his story about his life, he has to change it as new facts come to light. What does that tell you?

So now his defenders are reduced to trashing the woman he cheated on. They say they don't believe her, but you can be sure they believe the e-mails they get from someone who happened to attend the same college class "Barry" did back in college. Or e-mails claiming special knowledge about "Barry" from some relative in Kenya.


This is the best they can do. Newt Gingrich.

I just don't have the necessary seven pounds of brain damage to vote for someone like that.

So, yeah, this is one Republican who will be staying home.

Just like last time.

You deserve Obama to be re-elected.
