The best part of Bob Dole’s sandbagging of Newt Gingrich – and a distinctly Doleful touch – is this passage:
if we want to avoid an Obama landslide in November, Republicans should nominate Governor Romney
Not, mind you, “if we want to win” – just “if we want to avoid an Obama landslide.”

I also like this slice of Dole: “Gingrich had a new idea every minute and most of them were off the wall. He loved picking a fight with Bill Clinton because he knew this would get the attention of the press.”
Speaks volumes about the focus of our media too….

My favorite part was the bit about the ice bucket. What WAS that all about?
