Why Gingrich is Bad (and Romney is Awesome): A Politico Megathread Spectacular

Heilemann and Halperin will tell in 2014. Until then...

Well, you have me convinced. That damn Newt converted to Catholicism, the bastard.

If there was ever such a thing as a Romneyite (speaking as a Romneyite myself) with a Palinista mindset, Politico's it.

Politico,

Please put all of your Gingrich rage into one thread. The numerous different threads are annoying.

Sincerely,
Everyone Else

Right message, wrong messenger.

I can't being to tell you what the jmfcsts think of John Sununu's advice...suffice it to say, this is a HUGE boost for Newt

What about Gingrich's opposition to Ryan? What is wrong with Ryan's plan? Gingrich just wants all of the attention/glory, and cannot stand the idea of there being a brilliant Congressman who came into the House after Gingrich left.

Or to paraphrase the Sage of Wasilla, Gingrich retreated while Ryan reloads.

Team Romney is already running with this.

It isn't strange to pick up on the one issue where Romney has been on Gingrich's right for a while now. As to the second point, how's it overblown? There's no exaggeration in that spot.

How many anti Gingrich threads do we need?  We get the point already.

An excellent article about Gingrich:

You're using Robert Reich? In a GOP primary? IMO the most devastating critique of Gingrich is from David Brooks essentially saying Gingrich is even to his left.

Paul has a hard ceiling and can't go beyond Iowa. Remember GOP nominees Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan? As for Santorum, like the Huckster, he doesn't have the resources to go beyond Iowa and he knows it, whatever he might say on the trail.
