How many times has Gingrich been a potential Republican candidate? 50?

Re: Who Will Be the 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee?
I think (Pr Romney|bad economy) is quite high, while the same is true for (Pr Palin|good economy). If the economy's doing well, the technocratic argument loses appeal and so the primary base is more likely to be motivated by right-wing populism that has little appeal in the electorate at large.

Didn't we already elect Scott Brown President a couple of months ago?

There are flip flops and there are flip flops. If Romney can win a single state after health care, he should get an award imo. Merit badge of some kind.
Edit: But there's hardly anyone else that will run and can win. Tim Pawlenty has a better shot of getting drafted into the NBA. |

I don't understand how Brown can be number 5, but the margins are pretty close on 5-10. Still don't understand how he is really the number 5 most likely to win. What exactly has he done? Maybe the Mass win was bigger than I thought. I thought it came more down to what Coakley didn't do than he did.

I've said this before, but Mitt Romney will never be the Republican nominee for President. Obama's health care reform plan is nearly identical to the one Romney passed in Massachusetts.
Anyone running against him in 2012 will put out direct mail pieces saying "Chairman Mitt of the People's Republic of Taxachusetts" and he's done with the base. |
Re: Who Will Be the 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee?
Wow, I really wish I had a ton of extra cash to drop against Palin right now.

EDIT: Should have said "would win the states of" not "win the electoral college in." I figure that barring absolute disaster, either party has about 40% of the popular vote and a number of states locked up, regardless of who runs. |
