It won’t last long as the conservative base actually becomes aware of Newt’s sordid history where conservatism is concerned.

Looks like the same poll from a different source that Notwithstanding posted.

Newt Gingrich is way ahead, even with the margin of error.

I read this earlier and to me, that is good news. Also, just got finished listening to Newt's SC town-hall speech. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!! Loved his discussion on energy, among other things.

You must mean this record:
  1. Led the "Republican Revolution" that put Republicans in control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.

  2. Came up with the Contract for America and met the promise that every single provision would see a vote on the floor. Not all of it was enacted, but that was never the promise.

  3. First balanced budget in decades then balanced the budget for four consecutive years.

  4. Forced Clinton to accept tax cuts including the largest capital gains tax-cut in history.

  5. Forced Clinton to accept the huge restructuring of Welfare turning it into "Workfare."

  6. Got the Congressional Accountability Act passed that required Congress to abide by the same laws as private businesses.

    You mean that "sordid history where conservatism is concerned?" You mean the fact that of all the candidates, Newt is the ONLY one who has actually accomplished what the others keep claiming they want to do? [Perry and Huntsman have accomplished some of it on a state level]

    Yeah, that's really "sordid"--if you are a liberal. /rolleyes

I just got robo-called from “NEWT 2012” and gave a few comments in return, but “Newt” wasn’t listening ;-)

I can live with Newt. As long as he stays off the damn couch.

Here’s an interesting take on falty perceptions of politicians:

“You must choose between two candidates for president.

One candidate smokes heavily, drinks heavily, admits to using drugs in college, and is very overweight.

The second candidate doesn’t smoke, only drinks the occasional beer, is physically fit, and is a decorated war hero. Which do you choose?

The punch line?

The first candi­date is Winston Churchill.

The second is Adolf Hitler. “

I disagree, I think Gingrich is a known commodity, and is still “more acceptable” than Romney at this point. Bachmann, Perry, and Cain were all candidates that have caught the attention of the conservatives in the GOP. After all of the rise and fall, I think conservatives are just at the point of Buckley: pick the most conservative candidate that can win. Gingrich looks to have put himself in the right place at the right time.

34 days til Iowa. Time is quickly running out.

Thanks for link...I will be listening soon. Looks like Newt’s moving along quite nicely and people are tuning in to what Newt has to say. I am loving it...for Americans are getting a real education on where we are and where Newt stands on the issues most important to our country.
