They also have to get away from Gingrich as he is perceived as a Washington insider who was tossed out by his own party and fined $300,000 for ethics violations - as well as cheating on 2 wives while both wives were both having serious medical conditions. The Democrats would make mince-meat out of Gingrich in a campaign - and it would be a very dirty campaign.
