I mean I know his personal approval ratings are in the 70% range (well, maybe not in FoxNewsland) There is considerable good will in the nation for Barack Obama, just not with partisan Republicans, who have done everything possible to prevent good will from forming (http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/06/opinion/avlon-obama-economic-measures/index.html)<br /><br />That being said, Newt versus Romney is not Bush versus Reagan. Reagan and bush were practically and philosophically different- Reagan being the movement conservative and Bush being the Rockefellerite, where as Romney and Gingrich's policy records are not all that dissimilar. Newt is just better at burying his old self and telling us what we want to hear. Reagan didn't have the baggage that Newt has, either.<br /><br />for your enjoyment, http://newtjudgesyou.tumblr.com/.<br /><br />I got that one from Erick EricksonCalivancouverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714105881073755258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-91289870129745508382011-12-08T20:09:11.407-08:002011-12-08T20:09:11.407-08:00Calivancouver, I believe that Obama has so destroy...Calivancouver, I believe that Obama has so destroyed his reservoir of good will, that he will definitely be beaten. The eventual Republican nominee will have been sharpened by the campaign and will emerge prepared to defeat Obama. In 1980, I made the mistake of voting for George Bush in the California primary over Reagan, because I didn't think that Reagan could beat Carter. Turns out that both Bush and Reagan probably could have won that election. I see 2012 in much the same way.<br /><br />Kelly, I love Ron Paul, except when I really hate him.<br /><br />WC, I disagree about the self-deporting. e-Verify is not a panacea, and it will only encourage more aggressive identity theft. Love to discuss this more at a Beer Summit. I think we are pretty close to agreeing on this issue. What do you think of flinging open the immigration door for skilled migrants from India?B-Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880092017105841256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-84255785846922787992011-12-06T10:10:18.324-08:002011-12-06T10:10:18.324-08:00On your question about deportation:

I'm not one of those liberals who took perverse joy in a Bachmann win, but because I don't think Newt would be substantively different from Mittens, I feel comfortable with him driving the clown-car. Just think of it- tom coburn once said Newt'd be the last man he'd vote for president. The $500,000 tiffany line, the $300,000 fine levied by his own House of Representatives, the intra-party coups, the back of the plane episode, the working for Fannie May. If this is the shape of things to come, then the next election is going to be hilarious!Calivancouverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714105881073755258noreply@blogger.com
