I actually think Romney wouldn't have been too bad. At least he would have wiped the floor with BO in the debates unlike McCain. But whether his being Mormon would be enough to cause some concern, dunno? On the other hand since BO has pretty much shown his true colors now (Hope and Change come only in PINK), a lot of people might see past that. As an aside, it's still baffling how Giuliani's campaign blew it.
Gingrich is likely to throw his hat in the ring for 2012. I had hoped he would in 2008. Gingrich is sharp and has the conservative intellectual firepower in the same rarified stratosphere as the late William F. Buckley. Seriously, Obama would just get decimated by Gingrich in any *fair* debate. Frankly, the fact that so many in this country have become susceptible to the siren song of soft socialism by way of promises of "free" stuff via big government, only shows the extent that the leftists have succeeded in brainwashing our kids via our public school systems which they've worked for years to control. Socialism as an economic system cannot create real prosperity. Even Communist China figured this out, hence they're arguably more capitalist than WE are!
I digress. Gingrich could beat BO in a fair intellectual debate handily-- although try having "fair" debate in a society with a media largely controlled by devout liberals. Plus, the free-love, don't judge libs will suddenly find the piety that went missing when Clinton or John Edwards were carousing, and attack Gingrich for his personal life and how he divorced.
