Who’s the Republican Nominee?

Well, it looks like Newt is enjoying a well-timed surge in the polls. Steve and I are debating who's going to win the nomination. 

I think Newt is going to grab it. He may be an asshole, but he has appeared very confident and knowledgable in the debates. People think he'll be able to keep up with Obama in a debate. Romney is too smarmy, as Steve points out. 

But Steve still thinks that Romney will win it. When it comes time to actually pull the voting lever, they won't want to go with Newt. They will be turned off by his arrogance and his gerth. I think if voters aren't swarming around smarmy Romney now, they really don't like him.  I think that Newt is going to win it.

Question of the Day: Newt or Mitt?
