Gingrich has positioned himself well by coming up at this late date, but it's not impossible for someone without all the excess baggage, like John Huntsman, for instance, to make a move. Although Huntsman is very low in the polling, Cain and Gingrich both came from relatively nowhere, so it's not impossible for a lesser candidate, even though time is running out.<br /><br />Romney probably has the best chance against President Obama, so the Republican party may just look past the problems it has with him. On the other hand, it sure does look like they want to give up and try again in 2016. Either way, the Republican have done a lot of damage, no help from the Tea Party.Sarah Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106899188121145811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-11577276487450118112011-11-28T14:23:32.916-08:002011-11-28T14:23:32.916-08:00Romney is ahead in some polls against Obama...It c...Romney is ahead in some polls against Obama...It could all come down to the Independents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-43757000305945684932011-11-28T00:51:48.365-08:002011-11-28T00:51:48.365-08:00Yikes, so now it's down to Gingrich and Romney...Yikes, so now it's down to Gingrich and Romney?

Gingrich and Romney are both skilled debaters, so that is why at this point they are two at the top of the polls. The debates have exposed weaknesses in most of the other candidates that can't be overcome, and the thought of Perry debating Obama is why Perry dropped in polls so quickly, and why he can't come back. That applies to most of the other candidates as well. Romney may not be the first choice of the Republican party now, but in the end, Gingrich will be seen as being unelectable and Romney will get the nomination. He will be a formidable oponent just because he will be able to hold his own in a debate with Obama. With the economy the way it is, voters may overlook Romney's record of changing positions, and things like the Massachussetts health law, and come to the conclusion that with all of Romney's faults, change is better than no change, and we'd be better without Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-82244210876383864242011-11-27T19:40:03.103-08:002011-11-27T19:40:03.103-08:00Romney will win the GOP nomination by default. The...Romney will win the GOP nomination by default. The rest of the candidates are obviously not qualified, and the voters will come to their senses. <br /><br />A Romney-Obama matchup will still favor Obama. The GOP debates have done nothing more than shown the weaknesses of the candidates, and the "circus" surrounding the proceedings is diluting the party as a whole.<br /><br />Romney is the best of a really bad field, and even his strengths are being hidden in this media circus. With the focus on all the fringe candidates, starting with Trump, and now Gingrich, Romney has been unable or unwilling to put much of a campaign together.<br /><br />Assuming Romney is the winner of the GOP nomination, his history of changing positions will be his downfall, even though he is the best and smartest of the field.<br /><br />Romney has shown that he is able to go debate after debate without a major gaffe. But that is really Romney's weakness...He tries so hard not to say anything that will not be popular. <br /><br />I give Gingrich credit for speaking out on the immigration issue, but he has tried to soften his tone a bit, realizing that he is, in fact, an actual candidate, a fact that seems to have taken even him by surprise.<br /><br />Romney is trying to make a last attempt at bringing the base of the GOP over to his side, and he will definitely be the last man standing. But out of this weak group of candidates, that's not saying much.Elliot Firestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019466174066786185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-68818020206420865802011-11-27T17:55:25.286-08:002011-11-27T17:55:25.286-08:00definitely happy holidays for Obama!definitely happy holidays for Obama!arielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768055264021643103.post-23848262022713314242011-11-27T15:33:34.777-08:002011-11-27T15:33:34.777-08:00Are you telling me GOP has run out of clowns?
