And Gingrich represented a district that, while not uber-GOP then, is uber-GOP now, so there aren't a whole lot of swing voters he represented who might otherwise vote for Obama but remember Gingrich fondly.
Anyway, don't think Georgia is at a point where it could give Obama more than 48% of the vote (except against a train wreck like Palin), but the polls look right. Undecideds would break fairly Republican, however.
Newt Gingrich has become a trainwreck as a Presidential candidate. If he can lose his own state to President Obama, then what else does he lose? Everything that President Obama lost by less than 10% in 2008?
He might not be as incoherent as Sarah Palin or as nutty as Michelle Bachmann. Of Michelle Bachmann can't get her facts straight and thinks that the Constitution allows a political inquisition and Sarah Palin can contradict herself between independent and dependent clauses of the same sentence, Newt 'only' contradicts himself between successive paragraphs. It may have taken longer for Newt to expose himself as a reckless relay of shoddy ideas, but once the damage is done such damage is irreversible.
What is he in this Presidential race for? Money? Vanity? Access to willing women? I doubt that it is to put "Country First".
