When Obama ran in 2008 against McCain, they were both members of the club, both sitting Senators. They knew each other and McCain wasn’t willing to do a scorched earth policy Willie Horton style. I’m no McCain fan but it had been done to him by Bush in SC and it just wasn’t in him.

Gingrich can’t wait.

Ugly is going to be bad. Ugly is going to be very destructive. I detect a certain Democratic zeitgeist of wanting Gingrich since he has so much baggage. I’d rather have Romney.
