Not warming to Gingritch

Cain continues to have sex scandal issues, and despite my predictions, Newt is still doing well. Freepers, though, remain balkanized, and every new poll with Newt on top of the polls ends up in the same flame war:

apillar notes that Newt's so hated, he has nowhere to go but up!

It goes against common sense, but Gingrich having the most skeletons in his closet seems to have somewhat inoculated him to the kind of attacks that severely damage other candidates. When the press dregs up something like the Fannie Mae controversy, people just seem to shrug and say “Well that's Newt Gingrich for you...”

Jukeman laments the lack of pragmatists on Free Republic.

Well I guess Obama will win re-election because all the Gingrich hating conservatives will sit out the election with heads up their asses just like 2008 with McCain.

They are like a bunch of spoiled brats who throw tantrums when they don’t get what they want. I think I dislike them more than liberals. At least liberals stick together. But they are also mentally deranged.

Prokopton disagrees:

Conservatives don't "hate" Gingrich, he's not important enough to have that strong of a feeling about. We do not want him to be the Republican presidential candidate because he is a progressive, pro-amnesty, pro-single mandate, pro-global warming BS, professional lobbyist who will advance the big idea, big government, liberal cause.

On top of that, he is probably the weakest candidate when it comes to defeating Obama. That's all, no hate.

PALIN SMITH has a new angle:

So....without my first choice, Sarah Palin, in the mix, I've made my choice based on ALL the issues, not just one.

Gingrich was de facto president when Clinton was diddling broads in the White House. He's the only adult left standing who has an appreciation of American history and the skill set with which to put the country back on track.

Newt - experienced cause he was already secretly President!
