Newt in 2012

It seems to be getting clearer and clearer that the time is perfect for Newt Gingrich to assume the leadership position in the Republican party. The right is yearning for a conservative figure to lead the republicans and he has the ability to rally all the various factions including the tea partyers, the evangelicals, the moderates and the more intellectual right leaning voters. I believe he also has strong appeal to the independents as the their main issue is fiscal responsibility and that is his strength. One fear regarding the tea partyers is that they would push the Republicans too far to the right shrinking the republican tent. I think Newt could capture their support as well as keeping a broad tent.

The 2012 election compares to the 1980 election when Ronald Reagan was chosen over Jimmy Carter. Carter was elected after the voters grew tired of Republican impropriety and were ready for a change. Carter was elected only because he was the non-Republican, not because of his policies. The voters rapidly tired of his left leaning policies. The people were ready for a true conservative to step up and assume leadership, hence Reagan was elected. Similarly now BO was elected only because of the circumstances surrounding the election including an unpopular war and economic collapse. The voters were not looking for a radical leftist to recreate America and now are rapidly moving away from him. This sets the stage for a strong conservative to step in and Newt is the one.

There is really no competition for him. Palin, although she has strong appeal to a certain sector of the population has been stereotyped as an unintelligent red neck and will fail terribly against the smooth BO. Romney will lose because he instituted Obamacare into Massachusettes which is very unpopular amongst the right leaning voters. He is not to the right enough for the tea partyers. Jindal, Huckabee, Sanford and Pawelnty all have potential but none have the appeal, the name recognition, and the ability to unite the Republican party.

In the 2008 campaign there was very little to discuss about BO's record especially since he voted present on so many issues. Now he has to defend a record. His only answer is it's Bush's fault. That will not stand and the American people are tired of that excuse. Newt will be awesome against BO in the campaign and the debates and will dramatically expand the Republican tent. He will win against BO in a landslide election. I am really excited for his campaign to start and to eventually rescue this country from the radical left.
