Obama holds his own in debates. Gingrich would be stuck with some inconvenient facts, such as quotes spaced about a week apart in which he said A, he would have imposed a no-fly zone, and Obama was wrong not to have done so, and then B, he would not have imposed a no-fly zone, and Obama was wrong to have done so.

Gingrich is the antithesis of an effective Republican. He talks, and talks, but what achievements does he have to show for all that talk? If the Republicans want to contest the 2012 election, let alone win it, they must nominate a doer, not a talker.

Unfortunately for them, they have an abundance of the latter, but none of the former. At least, none whose accomplishments sit well with the party’s current ideology.
