In a one-on-one backstage interview with The Brody File, presidential contender Newt Gingrich says the fact that the media has declared this a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry is a, “combination of arrogance and stupidity.”

I actually think Newt is right, but what else can you expect from the MSM but arrogance and stupidity? They want the GOP nomination to be a choice between two because then they have two targets. I wouldn't count any of them out at this point.

Yep, when Conservatives and TEA Party start voting in the Primaries, the votes will not reflect the liberal media’s current realities for us.

I agree with Newt

The pro queer, pro cross dressing media have been covering for their messiah and now are trying to elect their candidate again.

Rick S and Cain has been ignored for the most part, Michelle B has been put down.

Perry lost me over immigration and no way will I support him, Romney will say anything and this is who FOX is pushing for sure.

No way do we need a north east big Govt pansy on social issues or health care right now or never.

Blame idiots who watch TV who enable the media. Fox is no better. Newt should go away.

Rick Santorum is 10x better than Myth, Amigo Perry and Newt Pelosi.

Poor Newt. He’s got more name recognition than anyone. Why didn’t he speak up for a candidate like Thad McCotter, who got squeezed out by this MEDIA created debacle? This will be two straight elections where the MEDIA will select the nominees before most of us ever get near a voting booth. ITS A DISGRACE!

Newt discredited himself by falling for the global warming scam, and by his personal immorality. The best he could do now is to get out of the race and endorse Bachmann or Cain. His brain could be useful to their administration.

Newt is anything but stupid himself. Arrogance? That's a different story.

Like it or not, these races usually are portrayed as two-person -- or at most three-person -- contests.

Newt, Herman, Gary, Rick, and Jon are out of luck, just as Duncan, Rudy, Alan, Tom, Sam, and Jim or Chris, Joe, Dennis, and Mike, were last time.

Newt is particularly out of luck, because he's not a new face. Few people are going to suddenly discover that he's the candidate that they want. He's been around too long.

But “stupidity” and “arrogance” were the adjectives Gingrich was using to describe the MSM not the GOP candidates as you did.

Damn straight. Good for Newt. Mark Levin has been harping on this recently. The rush by the media and Republican establishment to coronate one or two front-runners and dismiss the rest as no chance wannabes is an insult to the primary voters. Why even bother with a long primary process? Let’s just let Rove and his pals pick our nominees and we can all go back to our double-wides, tend to our Wal-Mart shopping lists, and cling to our guns and religion.

“Newt Gingrich says the fact that the media has declared this a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry is a, “combination of arrogance and stupidity.””

“arrogance and stupidity”??? Newt’s normal candor failed him this time.

Rather, it is a false-choice conspiracy. We have been here before.

In the past few weeks, I have regained my respect to Newt.

My respect came back in the first debate when he took offense to the stupid “gatcha” questions. He certainly let it rip.

He is intelligent and not mealymouth like the rest.

He says it like it is.

A Santorun supporter? Now that’s an elusive creature, though not mythical like the Mittbot. I actually thought RS did very well in the last debate, but I think that is a minoruty opinion.
