He seems in many ways to be a Bob Dole in the making. In the main, the makes it difficult for him to win the GOP nomination since all he has going for him is "I have the most money" and "I'm the only one that appeals to the middle ground and therefore can beat Obama".<br /><br />The enthusiasm gap in his own party means that he can't rely on much enthusiasm from GOP voters in the election and his artificial lurch to the right will alienate independents who might have voted for him. The only thing in his favour is that Dems won't feel the need to come out in numbers to vote against him, which will happen with Gingrich.<br /><br />At this stage, I can't see a single GOP candidate coming close to Obama. The fact that they don't beat him in head-to-heads this far out really doesn't bode well for them.Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665262571889379259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677869058567824191.post-90460174834830157202012-01-19T13:07:03.683-08:002012-01-19T13:07:03.683-08:00I love your writing style, Luke! Excellent article...I love your writing style, Luke! Excellent article; I'm in complete agreement with it. Incidentally, it looks like Santorum actually won Iowa now; the latest numbers are in. Also, Gingrich may be a darkhorse in Florida that wins; he's getting incredibly stronger in the polls.
