So the repukes had 3 years to find a candidate to beat Obama...

and it's come down to Newt and Mitt? Wow, they're not even really trying are they?

Why not run a ham sandwich against Obama? There's gotta be more people that would prefer a sandwich over Newtie McCheats-on-wives or Billionaire Mitt It's-a-cult. Lest we not forget Rick Man-on-dog Santorum is a close 3rd.

Congrats Obama on 4 more.

I intended to say it took the Republicans three years to find egos so enlarged the candidates thought they could defeat Barack Obama.

BTW, I think of Gingrich as the Pillsbury Dough Boy. There is a distinct resemblance, don't you think?

either one of those jackasses would have a decent chance of beating Obama.

the cons are energized, the Independents , right now according to most polls are leaning to the republicans Obama's base isn't energized like they were in 2008.

yes , and many of those people would prefer a sandwich over mitt and newt would still prefer of them to Obama.

don't think this is going to be an easy battle for Obama.
