The Republican Primary and debates are excellent, excellent entertainment right now.
What do you get when have a slate of Republican candidates that nobody likes? President Obama for another for four years. Take that, all my conservative friends who were calling Obama the next Jimmy Carter. Again, more glee.
Nate Silver speculates what will happen if Gingrich wins the primary, but is hated by the party establishment. Silver thinks that there is a small but nontrivial chance that a new face might jump in at the last minute and the Republican nominee could be someone like Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty or Chris Christie.
Apt. 11d 
I wonder if the Republicans won’t try for something like superdelegates after this.

God does not love Democrats enough to give us Newt Gingrich as the Republican nominee.
Then I remember Alan Keyes.

I saw somewhere online a good line, that an Obama/Gingrich pairing would produce the maximum possible gap between how smart the candidates think they are, and how smart they actually are.
Alas, people who aren’t as smart as they think they are, who have no executive experience and are bad managers, and who don’t negotiate well with, or work well with, or even like talking to people with whom they disagree, aren’t usually good presidents. As we have seen for four years, and may see for four years more.
But hey, there’s a lot of ruin in a nation.
