Politico:

POLITICO's Ginger Gibson reports on a new line from Newt Gingrich about Mitt Romney, one that refers to his new surrogate John McCain:

Newt Gingrich is trying to challenge the notion that Mitt Romney is the most electable candidate in the GOP field.

"Why would you want to nominate the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama?" Newt asked a standing-room only crowd in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Ouch!

1. According to Republican doctrine, that puts him next in line.

Old ways are best. Don't rock the boat. It was good enough for my grampa. Change scares me.

2. anyone think Newt will take his "medicine" and endorse Romney like McCain did with Bush

in 2000. maybe we might even get one of these with Newt and Romney

3. "Why would you want to nominate the guy who lied and cheated on his wives with multiple women?"

4. The angry little attack muffin strikes again

What a grating, vitriolic hyper-nobody. It'll be good to see him gone forever.

5. Common sense for Republicans.

Since McCain lost to Obama, and Mitt lost to McCain, then they figure two loses equal a win for Mittens!

"Why would you want to nominate the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama?"

....you're turning into a real populist....tell me when we're going to start arresting, trying and executing the rich wall street cronies and vultures, and I might even vote for you....

8. Why would anyone want to nominate the guy...
