Rising Hegemon
But all-in-all they'll do because after all you aren't exactly perfect.
And if marrying is the most important thing of all, you'll sadly take what you can get. Newt Gingrich may have won South Carolina, and Mitt Romney may be a terrible politician, but of the GOP's potential suitors he's the best remaining option. And Republicans seem to agree, in their inimitable manner:
In a January 14-17 YouGov poll, 66% of Gingrich supporters said they had a “very” or “somewhat favorable” opinion of Romney. About 15% were neutral. The remaining 19% were unfavorable, but only 2% were said “very unfavorable”—which is how I would translate “deep dissatisfaction.” The same thing is true of Santorum supporters: 57% had a favorable view of Romney.So they are going to settle (and since Andrew Sullivan is predicting otherwise...they'll settle) for Romney...for the least bad of a series of bad choices. All before the likely divorce on November 7, 2012.
Which is unfortunate in a way because Gingrich can definitely handle divorce.

Going by the anecdotal evidence from his acquaintances and ex-wives, ol' Newticles has been aiming for the Presidency ever since he was first elected to office, thirty-odd years ago. That's how full of himself he is. To have an android like Romney yank that away from him is going to unleash some unholy tantrums.
I can't wait.
Andrew Sullivan is still working?
in all the hoopla over who's on top, primary wise, isn't the 'media' conveniently forgetting the most important metric of these things which isn't who wins the primary, it's who get to the magic number of delegates to secure their party nomination, or is the GOP going to 'Iowa' the results of that too?
hope not, because I think a brokered convention would be kind of fun...
butbutbut publiklans love to hate most of all.
