But I'd rather not take that chance. <br /><br /> Remember, in 2000, more Americans voted for Al Gore, yet George W. Bush is the one that got sworn in. And with the various shenanigans that the GOP are pulling in several states, with new photo laws, requiring ID, restricting absentee ballots, trying to stop college students from being able to vote in the states they go to college in, etc. Anything can happen. <br /><br />All it takes is for enough Obama supporters (you know, the ones who are disappointed that he's not the Extreme Radical Liberal that they convinced themselves that he was 4 years go, and are mad that he hasn't brought Peace On Earth already) to sit this one out, and for the GOP base to be motivated to get to the polls, and we could very well get a Republican President next year. I don't want even a single voter to have the option of selecting Gingrich (or Santorum) in Nov. I'd rather take my chances with Romney. @ least the worse you can say about him is that he's a flip-flopper who will say whatever he has to in order to get elected, but Gingrich is madman.J.R.
