^ True about Romney being more attractive to the moderate vote, but I think a good majority is fed up with obama now for him to be re-elected. If Gingrich goes, there is no doubt in my mind that he will rip and shred obama to pieces in the debates. I'll admit I'm a conservative and I'm biased in that regard, but Gingrich can debate like none other. IMO through that alone, he would be able to pull in a lot of votes.

Regardless of who goes, one thing needs to be done...and that's to make sure obama gets out of there!

I agree fully. The media and the posters in this forum are quick to dismiss GOP candidates as being too conservative to attract moderates and independents. The fact that they conveniently overlook is that Obama won those votes in 2008 by convincing moderates and independents that he would govern from the middle.

After two years' worth of far left wing policies and judicial appointments, Obama has an uphill battle facing him to fool moderates and independents into thinking that he is one of their own again. Those voters will have a choice between voting for a candidate who is much more liberal than themselves or much more conservative. Given the sad state of the nation's economy and the abject failure of Obama's economic policies to create a meaningful number of jobs, I think that voters will find it increasingly difficult to "stay the course."
