Newt electable? Don't kid yourself!

Facts are stubborn things.
-- John Adams
Conservatives seem to be engaging in a great deal of self-delusion these days, imagining that any of the cartoon characters opposing Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination have a snowball's chance in Tartarus of beating Barack Obama, economy or no economy.

While I regard Newt Gingrich (and perhaps Herman Cain, who has other problems) as being in a different category from those other clowns, the fact of the matter is that Gingrich, too, is a poor choice if Republicans want to actually win next November.

If they're going to do that, the nominee almost certainly has to be Romney.
