HuffPost's Alex Wagner appeared Friday on MSNBC's 'Hardball' to discuss the GOP presidential contenders for 2012. She appeared alongside former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown (D).
Regarding Newt Gingrich's campaign so far and how he might be perceived by younger voters who don't remember his days as Speaker of the House, Wagner had this to say:
"It's a campaign in disarray, and I think that you are seeing some blowback from the donor base. I think you've now seen the Republican party letting out a collective youch with Democrats going at all the candidates on Medicare now and some real defense mechanisms. So to your point, for the younger voters that are just being introduced to Newt Gingrich right now, I'm not quite sure this is a case of putting one's best foot forward."
Summing up the possibility of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels getting into the race, Wagner said, "he's the great hope for I think the Republicans right now. There's so much interest, you have Laura Bush calling Mitch Daniels' wife, who apparently is the linchpin to whether or not he's going to run for president, effectively giving out a sort of Luke Skywalker you're our only hope sort of message."
"Nobody is particularly happy about" the current GOP field of candidates, explained Wagner.

Constitutionally, legislatively, and morally, Ron Paul has no equal. His 22 year voting record speaks for itself.
Mr. Paul has not survived in politics for 22 years and maintain the ethics and morality he has by being anything other than stellar.
If You refute the above comment, then I please invite You to listen to him speak about key issues. He understands what is happening in the world and knows how to apply the basic principles of liberty to achieve the real change that America so desperately deserves.
American to American we are all on the same team. So I present Mr. Ron Paul as my Candidate for 2011 and invite anybody to meaningfully and respectfully debate why he is not the best for American and its people in 2012.
Ron Paul = A real change, not for special interest, but for a America’s Interests!
Thank You for Your time
Ron Paul 2012
those are unfounded and unsupported statements. Mr. Paul's ideas for liberty have nothing to do with 100 year back. Those principles in the Constitution are still the same existing principles to create a healthy environment in which a responsible free person, as we all generally consider ourselves, can do the basics to succeed as a Sovereign such as;
Contract
Property Rights
Protection of the Unalienable Rights vs those of Civil Rights (usually where most derive an unfounded racism argument.
States can do most of the work that a Federal Government does. Such as regulate drugs if they wish, disaster relief, dept of education for the state, etc. Then people of the areas local governments can much easier identify their true running cost against the taxes collected locally by people who need those services. IE if the schools suck im Illinois then the people decide that and raise taxes or funds etc.
The rest of Your post, Sir, speaks for itself. Now is not the time for trolling and unfounded accusations. American to American we are on the same team. Please let us constructively discuss the points to declare a better man for America.
I suggest again Mr. Ron Paul for 2012 Republican Nom and President Please
Thank You

Let's have a real discussion with real conservatives. If we're going to lose, let's lose with a real message.
I'm not really Gary Johnson but I approve this message.
