You are so right.I think the main reason so many are drawn to Gingrich is his ability to articulate the differences between the positions of Obama's move towards Eurpean Democratic socialism and the expanded entitlement/welfare state and that of a more conservative position. Gingrich is quick on his feet and many believe he would absolutely trounce Obama, who really isn't a strong debater. McCain was horrible, just awful mostly because he's not a conservative (not that Gingrich is either), and when you are confronted with answering questions and have no grounded position to come from, your answers aren't going to be compelling. And with McCain they weren't. Newt, while not the most conservative, can carry a conservative tune better than anyone else (except Santorum and Bachmann) and unlike Sant/Bach can actually debate.
I still think Romney has the best chance to beat Obama. He can win on the economic issues and can easily overcome the healthcare issue.
The primary GOP voters want blood and victory, not just victory, that's the problem.
Interesting.
It's called personality and salesmanship. He can talk a great game. After all, that is the name of the game. Remember "Hope and Change"?
