But this is apparently not an universal sentiment:

…and while I certainly would have been much more polite about it, I’m with Ace of Spades (H/T) on this one: ouch. Not surprising, though: these days, Paul Ryan is more or less bulletproof among the base. We may not agree that he should run for PotUS or even WI-SEN, but Ryan is definitely showing some moxie.
From Ace’s link:
“I don’t know if that’s fair. I’m just saying, right now, I’d like to see some of the same authenticity and realness in Gingrich that I see in Mitt Romney.”
When you’re being compared unfavorably on authenticity and realness to Romney, as you said, “ouch”.
Oh, and replying to my own message with something completely unrelated – it should be fairly easy to fix the style sheet so that replies don’t lose formatting between paragraphs, if you’re interested.
Sounds like something Neil would be handling, Skip.
Alright, I’ll drop him a note then, I think I have his redstate email around here somewhere.
