Mark Shields: Obama Wins in a Landslide if Gingrich is GOP Nominee
The liberals on PBS's Inside Washington Friday were all giddy at the thought of Newt Gingrich as the Republican presidential nominee.
So sure this would be good news for the president he adores, syndicated columnist and PBS fixture Mark Shields said this would result in the "landslide reelection victory of Barack Obama" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MARK SHIELDS: The Republican field - Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman - stand between a landslide reelection victory of Barack Obama if Newt Gingrich is the nominee. If Newt Gingrich is the nominee, it will not be a competitive race. It will be a landslide. It will be a walk to reelection at a time when the nation needs a major debate.
GORDON PETERSON, HOST: Nina?
NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: Well, I don’t think that Barack Obama has led such a good life that he deserves or will get Newt Gingrich as an opponent, but it is possible, and it’s possible at the moment because of the time. I mean, we’re very close to the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary now. It feels like this has been going on forever, and will go on forever, but it’s about a month or less. And so the time to pierce that balloon and watch it fizzle is evaporating, and he may beat the time, may beat the clock.
PETERSON: “I have a very long record of consistency, ” Colby. Do you find anything wrong with that statement?
COLBY KING, WASHINGTON POST: No. I like everything that is going on right now. G-d answers Democratic prayers. And so, I hope if we just hold on, Newt will make it, and make it to the nomination. That would be just beautiful.
What's really hysterical about this is they'd be saying the same thing if Bachmann, Paul, or Santorum were the current frontrunner.
But the last laugh could be Gingrich's for as even the perilously liberal Chris Matthews realizes, the last person Obama wants to debate is the former Speaker of the House.
As such, these folks better be careful what they wish for.

Submitted by JedMerrill on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 1:47pm.
I have ZERO doubt Obama wins if Gingrich is the nominee. Even if Newt "wins" the debates, he loses the money election. There is no way he keeps up with $1 billion in Obama money, and he's already behind.
Whether you are a fan of Mitt or not, he is the only one who is virtually tied with Obama right now and likely to keep up in money.
Gingrich also has no strength on the economy, other than ties to lobbyists.
As a Tea Party conservative, I find Newt Gingrich unacceptable, and any investment in him from the right is a BAD investment.
I was a huge fan of FOX News during the Glenn Beck era, but FOX News is now corrupt, I'm afraid.
Even if Newt gets $1 billion in money from his lobbyist friends to fight Obama, does America, and especially the Christian right, really want to spend $1 billion promoting a serial adulterer to our kids over someone who has been married 42 years to the same woman?
If Newt wins the primary for some really, really strange reason, I will fight Newt all the way to the election, Obama or not. He has a few good ideas, but I trust him less than John McCain.

The power of the media is evident when they are able to destroy candidates as easily as they did Cain. They will, of course, go after any conservative candidate going forward. On our side we conservatives are again split over candidates which is the dems strategy of divide and conquer. Right now Obama wins. Definitely not in a landslide but wins. Unless the Republicans can garner the independents and not split the vote they won't win. I think keeping the majority in the house and recapturing the senate is just as important as the presidency maybe more important (loss of potential supreme court justices notwithstanding).

Well there's that little problem with your premise called "forgivness."
The real enemy is the party that shuts off true reform -they (a parade of GOP insiders-one by one) took Sarah Palin down before we could even vote for or against her. It is the GOP who doesn't trust the common voter. They merely hold the only position of opposition and they prefer to imitate the socialist Godless left -while spending all their effort fighting their own.
If it were a true conservative party -we would have a far better stable of thoroughbreds to pick from -they give us this herd rejected as to weak for the conservative glue factory -but we fight with the army we have, and Newt is by far a better choice than Oromney.
Of course these liberals think it would be a landslide...

He's right. The only current GOP candidate that can beat Obama is Romney.
What was it Buckley said? Something about picking the most Conservative candidate that can win? The last thing we need to happen is to get stuck with another far-right Christine O'Donnell/Sharron Angle esque nominee who has no chance in hell of winning. Meanwhile there's a moderate Republican who can actually win. So at the end of the day you have to make a decision: far-left Democrat or a center-right Republican. Which is it?
Newt, can't win. Plus the guy's been married three times for goodness sake.

Submitted by fitzfong on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 4:42pm.
Yeah, that Meg Whitman/Carly Fiorina "Center-Right" strategy really worked a charm. Angle and O'Donnell lost because Brooksian-Frumian "Republicans" were more concerned about looking smart in front of the cocktail set than in defeating the source of the problems that existed (namely, Harry Reid)...not to mention a significant amount of SEIU-orchestrated voter fraud in Nevada. If electing Mike Castle is defined as "victory", give me Chris Coons any day.
You see, when you obsess over the perceived "electability" of Republican candidates and assume that a squishy moderate is the choice to make, just because he appeals to an uneducated and unbalanced demographic that calls itself "undecided" or "in the middle", you end up with Charlie Crist and Arnold Schwarzenegger...at best. And Arnold Schwarzenegger was an unmitigated disaster.

Submitted by fitzfong on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 4:20pm.
Mark Maxi-Shields is public sector parasite who wouldn't have a platform, never mind an income, without the preservation of the status quo taxpayer theft at the hands of the "public" broadcasting scam. As such, his default position is that Obama wins. If Gingrich is the nominee, Obama wins. If Bachmann is the nominee, Obama wins. If Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney or Jon Huntsman get the nomination, Obama wins. His objective is to plant seeds of doubt (or, in this case, lay eggs of doubt) about the electoral viability of each-and-every GOP front runner in the hope that the eventual nominee is so weakened that enough Republicans will stay home from the general and Obama will win behind united Democrats. But once the dust has settled and a nominee is chosen, the Republican nominee will no longer be compared to the other Republican candidates, but to Obama. With that in mind, Obama will have an historically abysmal record to defend and absolutely no room for growth. The only reason that any Republican nominee could lose to this corrupt, incompetent clown would be if he/she hired the same staff and ran the same campaign as McLame did last time around. Not likely.

If Newt is going to allow your friend Obama to continue destroying America, why are you telling us? Shouldn't you be silent and let it happen? Or is it that you are shaking in your ample britches that Newt will easily debate circles around your socialist friend and stands ready to do what John McCain and the GOP insiders refused to do -call Obama what he is, and document it step by step, inch by inch and socialist flaw by socialist flaw.
Few can stand the bright light of truth, and Obama, more than any president in history, has never had a single ray of light shine on his lies and silly messianic pretense by your media or pundit friends. Yet you continue to write such hogwash, foolishly hoping to scare away those on the right contributing to Newt's meteoric rise.

Bend over, grab your ankles and surrender to my self-imagined superiority. After all, your guy can't win, but the media, "independents" and some Democrats quite like me, so I can. Grow up and deal with it...or, with thanks to John Boehner, get your ass in line.
Sorry, but the reason the Republican Party is such a joke right now is because its establishment believes that its only way to success is to nibble around the edges to pick up scraps from disaffected segments of demographic interest groups...and to do this not by arguing that CONSERVATIVE IDEAS ARE BETTER, but instead by surrendering some of its core ideological principles just to make the party appear more attractive in the immediate term to a handful of uninformed free agents. If the price of Republican victory is the advancement of leftist agenda items, it's a price more and more Conservatives are unwilling to pay. If these various "independents", "disaffected conservative Dems" and Jewish voters vote Republican because they've had an ideological epiphany, their presence would be welcomed. But if they come as squatters lecturing the party on what ideological principles it needs to ditch in order to keep them around, screw them. They're more trouble than they're worth.

Speaking only for myself, I'm not interested in Republican Party triumph if it means caving to a handful of "moderates" on issues of spending, taxation and energy/environmental policy to secure their temporary loyalty. If I want a Coke, I don't want some David Frum-type windbag telling me that I must accept a Pepsi that I don't like because it's the best I can hope for and the most I should expect given that the alternative is Diet Pepsi. Unacceptable is unacceptable. No amount of focus-grouping, spin or Karl Rove white board turd polishing is going to change that fact. You win elections by convincing the unconvinced that your policy positions are correct, not by selling out your principles because you're incapable of communicating why your ideology is best.

...so bloody arrogant that he won't allow Newt's challenge (bring the prompter, Dude) to go unanswered?
The Won truly believes he's the smartest man in the room. His little run-ins with Paul Ryan at the Health Care Submit (where Ryan kicked his ass) will only give him a false sense of security, inasmuch as O was "running" the meeting.
My only hope is that if there is a debate, there is a fair and impartial moderator (I know, I'm dreaming). If Newt can lure Obama into that kind of scenario, I fully expect to see heads exploding.....full tilt lefty meltdown.

whether Obama will risk debating Gingrich (assuming he is our nominee) in a format where Gingrich may have the advantage. However, I couldn't agree with you more that Obama's arrogance and belief in his self-importance may override the risk.
My main concern going forward is the barrage of slanderous attacks and blatant lies that the Leftist media will employ if Gingrich wins the nomination. Obama and the Left would like nothing better than for Gingrich, like Cain, to spend his time refuting rumors and unfounded allegations. When that occurs, you can be assured that during debates, the moderator (chances are it will be an Obama supporter), will bring up these rumors and allegations..
Of course, we may get lucky and have the nonpartisan, fair and balanced Chris (are you a flake?) Wallace moderate. ♥♥ :-) ♥♥
However, Rush Fan...

The advantage of Gingrich is he won't put up with that crap.
He'll say something like: My party already made a decision about that by making me the nominee. If that bothers people more than the crappy condition of the country, they won't vote for me, it's that simple.

motherbelt.......Yes, Newt's pugnacious and aggressive

handling of the Leftist media is why you, I and many others have come to admire him. It's the same reason we admire Chris Christie. Neither of them will put up with the media's hogwash.
Although I currently believe Mitt Romney would be more appealing to independents and disenchanted Democrats, Romney's failure to display the enthusiasm, excitement and aggressiveness of Gingrich may be his downfall.
Whoever our nominee is, we can be assured that he won't be anywhere close to the dreadful RINO sissy we somehow nominated in 2008.

moderator would make every effort to be 'fair and balanced' in questioning both President Obama and Republican nominee Newt Gingrich.
Moderator from CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/MSNBC or Fox News Chris Wallace: President Obama, you must be very proud of your wife. Since you have been in office, Michelle Obama has been involved in issues such as homeless shelters and soup kitchens, the need for more organic food on our menu, women's rights, and reversing the 21st century trend of childhood obesity. How is she able to handle so many issues since you assumed office?
Moderator from CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/MSNBC or Fox News Chris Wallace: Speaker Gingrich, you must also be very proud of your third wife, Callista. She married you despite your numerous infidelities. Did the consulting money you received from mortgage giant Freddie Mac help to pay your wife's jewelry charges at Tiffany, estimated to be between $250,001 and $500,000?
