I believe this is the beginning fo Newt Gingrich's ascent into the top 2/battle for the nomination with Romney. While Cain is a smart, likable guy, his 999 plan.... the cornerstone of his campaign...... is going nowhere, and his inexperience is starting to hurt him. Watch Cain vs. Newt's answers regarding the Iranian assination plot here:

It will boil down to Newt vs. Mittens. I think Newt will get key endorsements from Rick Perry and Sarah Palin as well.

Don’t forget the photo of Newt sitting with Pelosi over global warming. Newt has a ton of baggage that will follow him.

Newt is a brilliant guy, and is without a doubt the smartest guy in the room, just about anywhere he is. Having said that, I’m just not sure whether or not he’s presidential type material. I think it was his destiny to be Speaker of the House for half a century, but it just wasn’t to be.

Don’t get me wrong though, I’d happily do the whole ‘broken glass’ thing for Newt against 0bama!

If you consider either Newt or Myth Romney to be conservative, I would hate to see your idea of a liberal.

I think Newt will stay in 3rd place. He has as much baggage as Myth. Let's not forget that Newt was an actual Rockefeller Repub. He actually worked on his campaigns. His Conservatism was for convenience and can be seen in recent years as questionable.

Newt could not wait to jump on the "tax and cap" gravy train

Between Newt and Mitt, I vote for Newt. We are just going to have to wait and see how this all plays out.

Not to worry. Romney will be the nominee. The Republican elites will see to it. Just as they have done in every election since 1980. Then all the good little Republicans will fall in line and tell us how Romney is the second coming of Reagan. Then they will whine and cry for the next four years after Nobama kicks his ass royally.

Shocking... Mitt in the low 20’s... Stunner.. Who would guess the front runner, the man who looks the most presidential, would be in the low 20’s...

I have to admit I’m giving Newt another look. Cain is absolutely out. 9-9-9 is toxic. A lot not to like about Newt, but it’s a rough field. Perry is toast. He flamed out faster than old Fred Thompson.

Disagree about 999 Plan, I think this will be viewed favorably by many Americans. Noot is the one who’s going nowhere in the long run.

Romney is the fait accompli in all the pundits' books, but I don't see anyone looking at this dynamically. Cain looks to be the one who will get the momentum, and I'm no Cain fan at all (I'm no fan of anyone running, actually).

Here is my calculus. We have these people running: Romney, Cain, Paul, Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum, and Huntsman. The last four just aren't going to make it all the way. They'll run out of money and voters. The votes for Perry, Bachmann, and Santorum will break toward Cain or Gingrich. Huntsman's 12 voters will all go to Romney. As the field consolidates, Romney gains virtually nothing while Cain and Gingrich will pick up votes. Gingrich just has too much baggage, I think, to win. He is a brilliant man, but he has made a lot of enemies.

On the flip side, Cain had better increase his money and campaign support if he is to hold in there. Romney really knows how to hold together a truly professional campaign, and he has major backing, so just getting consolidated votes might not be enough.

Newt cannot win. He has national poll numbers like Palin. Perry seems to be fading. The new poll showing Obama trouncing him will hurt his fund raising.

The race now looks like a battle between Romney and Cain. I am not sure if Cain has the staying power. Romney has staying power, money, and organization to make it through 6 months of primaries. Cain’s best chances are early wins to gain momentum and funds.

All of the candidates are flawed. It is disappointing that a clear favorite has not emerged. I will support the primary winner. If Cain is still viable, I will support him in the Colorado primary. If I were betting, I would put money on Romney.

I agree! I have always been a Newt supporter because he is by far the smartest and most qualified of them all. However, I wasn't sure he would stick it out until the end. So, I wanted Palin first and Perry/Cain second. Now it looks like Newt is going to be in for the long haul and I am shifting my support to him! He is by far the best, but I repeat myself.

While Cain is the most honest and most sincere, Newt is the most capable to be POTUS. Sleazy, but capable. I'm going Cain with Newt on deck... Palin? Who the heck is Palin?

I see on the FOX NEWS Website just now, “Cain, a onetime radio-show host and former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, catapulted into the lead in the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/10/12/cain-vaults-to-lead-in-poll/#ixzz1adI7ASBW";

This race is really turning into an historic and exciting contest among Republicans!

If fellow Republicans decide to choose Cain (or for that matter Newt) I not only have no problem with that, even though I’ve been supporting Romney, see Cain on top and Newt rising up puts a smile on my face.

You know, today coming home from work, I caught a glimpse of those “Stop Wall Street Greed” collection of Berkeley types, fat men with straw hats and beards, some stupid Union thugs, ugly women, it was probably about 40 to 60 people on two corners of a busy main street. They wanted us to honk in support - they were slowing traffic.

Well 99% of the drives would not honk. Myself included - we just drove by. I heard only two honks as the slow traffic crept past them.

I was sort of thinking of watching the phony (local) liberal news to see the report since I saw the NBC news van and such, and since I knew the truth I just wanted to see how they spin the news report -— but actually this time I didn’t even bother to turn the stupid NBC channel on because I already knew they would just lie to my face.

Many years ago I attended a rally against some liberal judge who was going to declare a prop invalid - the prop was about the people’s demand that State benefits are not granted to illegal aliens. In the square, there were about 3,000 people including myself.

The local news for this conservative rally reported “200” at the “protest”. Liars.

I was thinking, thanks to Wall Street we have in this country the legal right, for every citizen, to buy shares of stock in share in the ownership and growth of a public business, company, corporation and so on. Thanks to this right, I have invested, enjoyed, and have a handsome pool of value ($) which I look forward to in my last years of life.

These goons I saw today, they want to steal my investment, time and risk I put into this, steal it from me, and even the very right to be part of thousands of others who are joined together in share ownership of a company, to deny this right to all Americans.

They want to steal our right, steal our money - and for what?

So that they can allow the government to get this money, and ???? and do what??? To totally squander this money, this time, these investments on total idiocy, lies, promises which they will never deliver, even if in writing it means nothing, pigs who change the rules and with every change want to steal more from me?

I say stop this GOVERNMENT GREED! It isn’t about “BIG GOVERNMENT” anymore ... it’s about OBESE GOVERNMENT!

This pigly, selfish, lazy Berkely type losers think they will even get ONE PENNY of the money the government steals from the rest of us? They will only get “slave food”.

They make me sick. This pigs held signs “NO TEA PARTY!” and such. And that is why I love the tea party - and I love Mr. Cain.

Go get them Herman!

Newt clearly had the better answer. I'd prefer him to Romney by far.

I'm not concerned the so-called baggage at this point.
