Last week, Paul Krugman said that Newt is "a stupid man’s idea of what a smart person sounds like."
On This Week with Christiane Amanpour, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman gave his two cents about why Republican support is beginning to coalesce around Newt Gingrich, with a snarky barb thrown in for good measure. “It was his time, the Republican base doesn’t want Romney and they keep looking for an alternative, and Newt — although somebody said ‘he’s a stupid man’s idea of what a smart person sounds like,’ but he is more plausible than the other guys they’ve been pushing up.”

I am pulling for the high-priced historian to get the nomination. His unfavorables are so high and thus he would surely lose the general election.

For example, if they dug up JFK and revived to him life, the American people would elect that nymphomaniac back into office. I think the same could be said for Clinton if he ran against Obama.
Next.

Of course, this is the old and tired strategy of the democrat party. The GOP nominee is "stupid" as are their supporters. They simply have to be, since they are not as enlightened as the party of Waters and Weiner.
Lets just say it would be fun to see Mr. stupid go against Mr. Teleprompter.

No ladies in the south will vote for Newt (and they gladly voted for John and Bill.) If you don't understand that dynamic you should quit posting about things you don't understand.

Originally posted by moon1969Obama's is even less favorable than Newt. If Newt gets the nod (and I'm hoping he does) then that's what I'm counting on.

Bush got Obama elected and now Obama will get Newt elected!

Originally posted by no1marauderI'd suppose that would have to do with the polls.
Obama has close to a double digit lead over Newt in the polls.

According to the link, Newt is only down 2 points to Obama which is the best for all Republicans.
Having said that, I think it is the swing states that are important, not simply polls. It will be interesting to see the Florida and Ohio polls, especially after the Republican convention.
