Jon Stewart is sort of the cherry on it all, as is Colbert. I thoroughly enjoy both of those programs. But tonight does sort of feel like the official beginning of "silly season". I think we will begin to see a back and forth between the Administration and Romney/Gingrich. Should be fun. [Edit] it's worth mentioning that I also enjoy the ritual of it. Some traditions are worth participating in. Question to you: Who do you think would be harder for Obama to defeat, Gingrich or Romney?
http://www.amazon.com/Thank-You-Arguing-Aristotle-Persuasion... Here's why: http://www.figarospeech.com/teach-a-kid-to-argue/ Obama will have a harder time with Romney because the Venn diagram of Romney and Obama is a circle. People like change and Romney will basically be Obama only white. Gingrich is a trainwreck on ice. Even if you somehow gave him an invincibility potion on his family garbage, he's a quick-to-anger beltway lobbyist with a shady history of payola. The difference between Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay is Newt got out before the indictments.
I think Romney has an actual chance to grab the independent vote (the middle) where Gingrich doesn't have a shot. If the national focus remains the economy, Romney has a shot imo. Just saying that if I was Obama, I'd be hoping for Gingrich as an opponent. Old, white, conservative and flawed a clear distinction from himself.
When a kid learns to read your emotions and play them like an instrument, you’re raising a good persuader. Dorothy: “Dad, you look tired. Want to sit down?” Me: “Thanks. Where did you have in mind?” Dorothy: “Ben & Jerry’s.” I agree with your assessment of Romney/Gingrich. The audacity you'd have to have to run for president with Gingrich's history baffles me. It basically is him saying, "the citizens in this country are too stupid to care about what I've done". The real puzzler is that nobody in the media seems to care either.
