Both Newt and Mitt are leading Obama in the swing states. That’s bad news for both the White House and Mitt, because one of his strongest arguments against Newt is that he’s more electable.

Not thrilled with the GOP choices, but then everyone since Reagan has been second best, at best. Nonetheless I will happily vote for Newt, Mitt or whomever the GOP nominee is. ANYONE is better than Obama.
I believe the pundits said that Reagan couldn’t win and that Carter’s people were eager to run against him because they thought he was the least electable.
the support for Newt is more resilient, IMO, because it’s based on plans Newt is proposing, and people like the plans. For example, the executive orders planned for day one. And it’s based on teaming up with the American people, and the American people like that. and it’s based on the idea that the American people are the 100% of the American people.
Inside the Beltway, where I work, the election has been conceded to the Republcan. Why. It make home the one we want, rather than the one they want?
That should have been “Why not make it the one we want rather than the one they want?”
Why is Mitt more electable? He’s only ever won one race, in Massachusetts, when his opponent ran a fairly poor campaign. Newt orchestrated an entire GOP takeover of congress, balanced the budget, reformed welfare, and defeated the very sort of socialized healthcare plan that Mitt helped implement.
Start it at about the 49 second mark:
