I doubt he'd have done any better than Mittens. He's just as awful, but a different sort of awful; he wears his lunacy on his sleeve, while Mittens concealed it under a hard plastic shell.

full of gas, going down in flames........

Nerdy note: 'Super-Jovian' refers to planets larger than the planet Jupiter in our solar system, or to super-sized egos like Newt's.

Gingrich is crazy. The GOP didn't even vote for him to beat Romney. How the hell was he supposed to get near of beat Obama.


Silly fool.

Nasty ill tempered man and a womanizer who dumped his two ill ex wives. Yeah once people got a real sniff of who he is they would have run away from him in horror.

This is not March Madness, asshole.

YOU LOST.

He would have done significantly worse.

Perry was a joke as a candidate.

If Republicans wouldn't vote for Newt in the primary what makes him think that he could have done any better in the general election. In fact, Newt is showing here just why he didn't win. Maybe if Adleson would have put his money behind Santorum the Republicans would have had a different candidate but still not a winner in November.

You had your fun. Now it appears that you and Calista are selling children books. Just go back and spend money at Tiffany.

Well not literally since I'm a work. But I did get a hearty chuckle just from the title.

That implies he may not fully believe it himself... and I suspect he does. It is almost a compliment to say that Gingrich is basically full of hot air, when in reality, I think the truth is closer to that he's delusional. Grandeur and otherwise.

In the 1st debate, Willard utilized a tactic that Newt excels at: spewing bullshit. And it worked, for a bit, to shift the momentum of the race.

Gingrich practically invented the Gish Gallop. He can spread hundreds of lies in a limited amount of time all the while sounding authoritative and professorial. The key is, as George Costanza said, "It's not a lie if you believe it."

Gingrich is an unattractive, old, overweight, morally repugnant man, but he's a better liar and propagandist than prettty-boy Romney ever was.

Democrats are petrified of you and cower in your brilliance.

He has so much baggage and so many skeletons in his closet the GOP would have been crazy (well, crazier) to even think about actually nominating Newt.

you're a real winner

I don't think he would have done any worse. He may have been able to gin up a little more enthusiasm in a few voters, anyway.

Big whoop.

but then I remember the Grinch had redeeming qualities.

He and Lil' Ricky would have been blown out even worse.

what an idiot

supporting Todd Akins and called Obama lazy. There is no way he would have won. Newt needs to look at who voted for Obama again.

Not that Romney didn't do things that everyone knew were stupid as he was doing them, but still.

Please run again Newt!

the entire country would have accepted him? The delusions of the conservatives never cease to amaze me. He couldn't convince people that actually think in the same twisted way he does that he was the best.
