Obama would have to sink as low as Truman or Nixon at their worst points to lose to Gingrich.

Romney is overrated and doesn't guarantee a victory if nominated, but he stands a decent chance under right circumstances. Gingrich is dead in general under 90% of scenarios.

The assumption of Mr.Phips that success in a presidential election detracts from success at lower levels is odd, to say the least.

Indeed. There were elections when success in presidential election did not produce coattails, but also, there were elections with clear coattails, aiding down ballot.

Remember they said this "unlikeable dysfunctional damaged goods asshole" "stood no chance".



Guess the Pubbies who said that in 1992 wrong in that assumption?



Lesson learned" Assuming your candidate is going to win because the other guy is flawed" has the karma to come back and bite you in the ass.

Are you seriously comparing Clinton to Gingrich? Clinton was controversial, but never generated that much negative feelings, as Gingrich and for sure was better skilled as a candidate.
