remind me again how this primary process is showing the gop as a winner in anything?
again seems the gop is just trying to hand obama another 4 years
I wouldn't put a lot into this. When a nominee is selected, most of this nonsense will be forgotten.
I think the GOP has much larger structural problems than who looked silly during a debate.
The first of which is, it's weakness amongst minorities. A poll yesterday showed that while Hispanics (like pretty much everyone else) have found Obama to be a huge disappointment, he still leads any Republican challenger by the same margins or better than he beat John McCain with.
My guess is the short term is that Gingrich is likely to be the newest "Not Romney", and he's been pretty thoroughly vetted. He's got negatives, but they are old news.
