I really think that, so far at least, this election has only shown that the Republican Party doesn't like ANY of the candidates. No one was excited for Newt. He's getting votes now because of name recognition and because they don't like the others. They haven't like Romney...and still don't. (And there is another strong group that doesn't like Ron Paul either....they refuse to admit his standing in the Iowa straw poll) Overall... They tried Bachmann -- that failed. They tried Perry... -- that failed. They tried McCain...that failed. They're going to try Newt. It's going to fail. This election screams that a dark-horse candidate...an unknown...is going to appear sometime between March and June. (Probably closer to June). They're going to build momentum very quickly...no one is going to know anything about them, and they're going to be the candidate.* (And that candidate is going to have a very good chance of unseating Obama, imo) * Anyone else notice that Obama ran nearly the same way?

He wrote a biography that was published in 1995, then re-issued in 2004. He competed in every primary and caucus AFAIK. He beat Hillary and Edwards fair-and-square. He didn't parachute in at the last minute. The Republican clown car of kooky candidates is very different. I don't think someone will swoop in and save them. Nobody knows the future, though. Cheers, Scott.

Sure, you can dismiss them, but it's a little disingenuous to say they won "fair and square" unless you mean in the sense that Putin's Party recently won a majority. And please, don't let's compare and contrast Barry's coverage with everyone else's (particularly Hillary's).
