Gingrich is electablePublished: January 31, 2012
American voters now poll Congress in the single-digit category and Congress says Gingrich is not electable.
Washington insiders like Carl Rove and the unions, who favor the good ole boy and business and politics as usual, say Gingrich is not electable.
RINO moderate Republicans like Mitt Romney, John McCain and Bob Dole say Gingrich is not electable.
Gingrich says, "Elect me and I will put a slow halt to all that nonsense just like I did in 1994, because I don't owe anybody in Washington any favors."
I say all of the above makes Gingrich very electable.

Support Romney
I would ask your readers to please consider carefully what Nancy Pelosi said when she was questioned about Newt Gingrich becoming president.
In her big mouth way she said Gingrich will never become president. I know this!
He will never be president. The Democratic elite know about something, which is being suppressed, and will hit with a great big splash and guarantee Obama another term if Gingrich is the nominee. The blabber mouth almost gave it away after the State of the Union address.
Mitt Romney has no skeletons in his closet and his religion is a strict Christian faith, which he faithfully lives. His family is stunningly beautiful in such a genuine way. He has great fiscal experience and has a lot of money only because he earned it. It was not inherited. His dad was born in Mexico and he personally understands immigration.
Romney has more class than any president since Ronald Reagan and is in a totally different realm than President Obama. But most importantly, he can beat Obama in November. Republicans can miss the field goal and lose the Super Bowl if they don't nominate a candidate who stands a real chance of going up against the liberal rhetoric of a well-oiled political team.
Sometimes you can't get everything you want in a candidate, but remember, 70 percent of something mildly conservative is better than 100 percent of nothing and way better than the current option.
So, vote for the man who can get the job done, not only in the election, but in the White House afterward.
Please vote for Mitt Romney, the practical choice to beat Obama, and get our country back to prosperity.
