It seems the Republicans are most worried about Newt because they believe he could lose the House, not Romney.
It could be a really weird election. I expect President Romney will also retake the Senate and the House, but it wouldn't surprise me if the GOP lost the House as the electorate throws out all the bums.
If Newt runs, that will energize liberals to get out and vote. The hate for Newt is strong.
YOu don't think they are going to Hate Romney every bit as much? The problem is, conservatives are going to hate Romney, too.
Hey, remember back in 2008, when the Democrats assured us that if we just nominated John McCain, who was a nice, sensible moderate who didn't tick them off, how they might actually be caught having a drink with a Republican?
Didn't turn out that way. The villified the guy completely, and when he picked Palin as a running-mate, man, did the gloves come off. He was crazy War-Monger McCain who was going to get us into another war.
Why you spend so much time getting people who hate you to try to like you is beyond me.
I don't think that they will hate Romney as much.
I think there will be apathy among many who voted for Obama last time around.
Some might sort of hate Romney on principle because they're supposed to because he is an evil rich man *insert cartoon pitchforks here* but I don't think they will feel that hate on the gut level that people feel it for Newt.
Passionate anti-Obama feeling will get a lot of Republicans out even if they don't like Mitt.
What will get the Democrats out if they're feeling blase about Obama? I think Newt could do it. Much more than Romney.
