The Republicans are in pretty serious trouble. These primaries have been like watching the Hindenburg crash in slow motion. Gingrich is the ultimate poison pill, and he fed the South Carolina voters enough smarmy B.S. to get them to swallow it. Honestly, the Republicans don't have anywhere to turn for a strong candidate.
No matter who they pick, they will be charged with consolidating a fractured party, and no matter how many people scream "anyone is better than Obama," it will be very difficult to pull the independents AND the various segments of the Republican base after such a contentious and vitriolic race.
It's called 'vetting' and .. "anyone is better than Obama" would be correct!
We shall see. In the end, voters will vote for the person most likely to best serve the United States as POTUS. They might actually vote for a POTUS who is pro America and not a globalist.

BTW: You guys 'vetted' Obama yet!?
This isn't vetting, which is done behind closed doors and ostensibly done in good faith, this is open warfare, and it is damaging to basically all of the candidates. Running tons of disingenuous attack ads against each other is not "vetting". The Republicans are eating themselves alive.
That's terrible news because Gingrich is exactly who the Republicans do not want to nominate. Gingrich will get hardly any registered Democrats or Independents head-to-head vs Obama. Didn't the Tea Party Republicans want an outsider? Newt is a globalist, big government spender with ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He may do well in Florida but the Gingbag will get hammered out west and uppermidwest in the Liberatrian leaning states.
Some problems with your early eulogy of Gingrich...Obama is still losing to anyone who is not Barrack Obama.
No one has ever won a second term with a Gallup approval rating below 52% or an ongoing war more than eight years and three months old, and no one since FDR has landed another go-round with unemployment over 7.2% the inflation adjusted price of gasoline over $2.60/gal, or a misery index over 11.25%.
