2012: I'd rather hitch my wagon to Romney or Santorum!

Like many of you, I jumped up and down when Newt Gingrich manhandled John King and answered Juan Williams' question.

I thought that the ABC interview was just a rehash of old news and the timing was questionable to say the least.

I thought that Juan Williams' question was typical liberal nonsense about racism. 

Nevertheless, I'm not comfortable with Gingrich as a potential nominee.

First, has Gingrich ever run anything?  We've seen with Obama that executive, or governing, experience is actually a good thing.

Second, has Gingrich ever won an election outside of his Georgia district or the very conservative South Carolina primary?

Third, do people really think that Obama is going to accept something like the Lincoln-Douglas debates?  Are you crazy?  Obama will try to have the least exposure this fall because he has a lousy record to defend.

Fourth, have people looked at Gingrich's negatives?  specially with women?

Again, I love Newt and cheered him all the way during these debates.  However, this is about defeating Obama and Gingrich does not beat him in any head to head poll.

Yes, it's true that Reagan was behind Carter at this point in 1980.  However, Reagan had that sunny disposition that Gingrich does not have.

Romney may not be perfect but he has executive experience and conservative instincts.  And he is in a dead heat with Obama in the polls!
