Gingrich: GOP nominee only needs 60 days to defeat Obama

Painting an optimistic scenario for his presidential bid Monday evening, Newt Gingrich told Sean Hannity that on the “very real chance” Mitt Romney falls “over a hundred votes short” of 1,144 delegates, it would be “almost impossible for him to close the gap” in a brokered convention.

“We’ll basically have a national electronic convention,” Gingrich envisioned of the days leading up to the Tampa convention where candidates would need to slug it out for the nomination.

“I can imagine a circumstance for example where they suspended the keynote address on the first night and actually had a presidential debate in front of the delegates of the candidates. You can imagine a whole process that’s totally different from what we’ve ever seen.”

Dismissing the idea that a prolonged nominating process would undermine Republican chances in the general election, Gingrich said keeping up the contest would keep President Obama "on defense."

“The later we get a nominee, the less time Obama has to smear the nominee,” Gingrich said. "They’re going to raise the billion dollars but what if they don’t know who to attack? What if they don’t know exactly what they’re doing?”

Gingrich predicted a historically unprecedented convention would give the party nominee "the largest audience in American history" and enough momentum so that only 60 days would be needed to lay out a “pretty simple case” as to why President Obama shouldn’t be re-elected.

“I’ve always said I want to debate him because I think it’s a very clear picture what's at stake here” he said.

    Gingrich and the rest of the clowns don't have years much less 60 days to defeat this president. LOL. A brokered convention is the circus that the Obama campaign and I'd love to see. More laughs than their debates.

    And a lot of money. If I would have won the Mega Lottery, I would have donated $10 million to defeat obama.

    I don't think Gingrich should even be running for president.

    With the defeat that's coming from the SCOTUS, his treasonous open mic comments and his two cents about the Martin killing, I'd put it closer to a week. http://images.sodahead.com/pr...

    Obigot took an oath to uphold the constitution, Oblamer care forces every citizen to purchase health insurance for the GOVERNMENT. It's unconstitutional, ergo treason!

    Oh really, so lying to the American public is not treason, torturing is not treason, and i bet you would say SSI goes against the constitution also?

    No you dont know what treason is, just admit it.

    Obama is not the first president that may have done something the constitution does not allow, its called interpreting what the framers meant. If we knew what the framers meant there would be no need for the SCOTUS. But then again you dont know how they will rule, neither do i.

    That's great you - now get off your high horse! Geez! Do you really think everyone can be you? That seems a little insecure on your part. My point is that if it weren't for Unions the average worker in the USA would be making $7 or less.

    To quote one of your heroines, Michele Bachmannn: We should eliminate mininmum wage all together because that would fix the unemployment issue.
  • Swampdog Dave 2012/04/02 18:37:01
    Swampdog
    Minimum wage is usually earned by people just getting into the work force and hopefully they will do well enough to be promoted shortly there after. It was not intended for 20+ year old adults, to provide them with a permanent working wage income in perpetuity. Bachman is right though. And as far as unions go, when have they ever created a business? Unions only exploit workers so union bosses rake in more money.

    You obviously don't get the fact that more and more jobs here are becoming minimum wage jobs, so what choice do people have? Work for minimum wage or don't have a job. You just don't get it bubba.

    You are a complete corporate shill - I hope they pay you good. If you aren't being paid - then you have to be one more dumb Right Wingnut, who slept through history classes in your education.

    And quit comparing yourself to everyone else. That drives me crazy -NOT everyone has been given what you have. And you probably label yourself a christian too.

    No one GAVE me anything Dave, everything I have I worked for. I can't help it if I want to keep what I worked for instead of being robbed by the government so some layabout who's too lazy to find a job collects unemployment, you're so generous, with other peoples money!

    Dave, apparently you're depressed from your wastrel life. You can still change. Envying others does no good. Want wealth? Hang out with wealthy people. They will help you. I will help you. One other thing, expecting a lot from ones self leads to accomplishing a lot in ones self. I'm not giving up on you, you'er my brother in Christ.

    You completely miss my point and what do you know about my life? lol IF - you truly made it on your own - I am happy for you, but I don't see that too often. An individual can't really make it without community.

    Correct, the opportunities exist because of the community. I worked 2 or 3 jobs up until just before my 55th birthday. Squirreling away between 30-40% of my after tax income, investing in mutual funds. My brother majored in Finance and Economics, I majored in Chemistry, we both paid for college out of our own pockets. My brother works for the Post Office, but has been investing for 35+ years. He can show you how to get rich slow,if you want quick riches, I'm sorry, we would be of little help.
