¿Quién es más capaz de derrotar a Obama? ¿Romney o Gingrich?



Weekly Standard:
Each of these two leading GOP candidates certainly has his strengths in an electoral vein. Romney consistently fares better than Gingrich among independents — the block of voters who will likely decide the election — while Gingrich’s support among the Tea Party could help energizing the party’s base, which in turn could influence independents (who are generally more apt to rally behind candidates who have the enthusiastic support of others — a fact that seems to be particularly true for GOP candidates across the years).

Nearly a year out from the election, none of these poll numbers are remotely etched in stone — perhaps especially in Gingrich’s case, since his movement of late has been so evident. More important might be what each of the candidates would emphasize versus Obama, and how well he would emphasize it. Romney has consistently focused on the economy, saying that “fostering job creation through economic growth” will be his “top priority from his first day in office.” Meanwhile, Gingrich says that his top priority is “repealing Obamacare,” adding, “I think that’ll be the campaign theme in September and October of next year.”
