I don't think this actually upsets the 'left'.
Your thoughts please? |

first of all, Mia isn't representative of "the left". she is a fiscal conservative with libertarian/liberal leanings on social policies. Your thoughts please?

I just wanted and still do her thoughts on this. Wasn't really saying she is left , didn't mean it that way. Just want thoughts from others on this.  |

I just don't think it does. One win for Gingrich doesn't mean it's a done deal. I think the "left" would rather see a long and drawn out primary fight between Mitt & Gingrich. I think Gingrich is his own worst enemy. Also I always thought that he would be willing to take the whole party down with him in this race. Let's see what happens in Florida. I also wanted to say that Gingrich's favorability rating is worst than Obama's. |

I would point out that a "long and drawn out primary process" gave us obama, rather than hillary.
and the big fear is that as we get closer to the western caucus states, dr. dickbrain will get more delegates.

The comparison to 2008 would make sense if Hillary had won. She's the one that drew it out. |

hillary got screwed. and probably for the first time in a decade. she got more primary votes than president ROCK STAR. The comparison to 2008 would make sense if Hillary had won. She's the one that drew it out.

The black vote cost Hillary the candidacy. The blacks would have voted for a black rock over a white candidate.

Yet she was still unable to motivate enough to get the caucus voters. Anywho, the point wasn't to rehash the 2008 primary. |

hillary lost due to fraud in several counties in the west The black vote cost Hillary the candidacy. The blacks would have voted for a black rock over a white candidate.

Personally, I think the left is scared s**tless of Newt. Although presidential debates become decidely less important in the general election, their fear is that Gingrich will simply have a Reagan moment and make Obama look like a fool.

I certainly don't put much credibility behind fav/unfav polls. They are daily tracking numbers, and generally are very small sample size. Further, presidential elections are really state by state elections, therefore national samplings are of little value in the long run. doc |
