How many more liberals, liberal pundits, and outright leftists do you need to hear begging Republicans not to throw Obama in the Romney briar patch?

I know what beats Democrats soundly in elections. I can see the record for myself.

Gingrich is trying to back away from this, but is limited by the legality of working with a Super Pac (at least overtly). Unless he's just trying to distance himself from something he actually approves of.

If nothing else, this approach shows a tone-deafness that should have realized anti-capitalism isn't really a direction a Republican wants to go. Interesting that when the government picks winners and losers in business, nobody cares.

I notice the liberals here getting a little crispy already, and it's only January.

As for your optimism, if you look at the polls, the "middle of the road" (listed as independents or moderates) have abandoned Obama in droves. Did you see the poll I linked to on who would win if the election was now? Only Romney would win outright, but the largest margin of loss of ANY other candidate was eight points. Ron Paul(!) lost by only one point.

There will be a thousand excuses and explanations for Obama's loss next year. Stupid voters who don't realize what's good for them. Racism. Bad luck. Evil spirits. And of course, the ever-popular "voter disenfranchisement."

The economy is already tanked, and when Europe implodes, it's not going to get much better. If only Bush hadn't been running the EU.
