WEST CHESTER, Ohio (AP) — For "Anybody but Romney" Republicans in a key conservative region of Ohio, Newt Gingrich has been picking up support as an alternative to the former Massachusetts governor.
The former House speaker has moved to the top in recent polling in Ohio, just as Republican presidential candidates prepare for the Jan. 3 caucuses in Iowa, followed closely by the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. Ohio's presidential primary is scheduled for March 6, one of the biggest prizes for Republicans among about a dozen states voting on "Super Tuesday."
Mitt Romney hasn't excited some of the party's staunchest conservatives for reasons that include his past support of abortion rights and enactment of a Massachusetts health care plan that's often compared to President Barack Obama's overhaul.
~~snip~~
A series of Quinnipiac University polls tracked Gingrich's rise in Ohio from low single-digits to 36 percent between September and early December. Cain had fallen to 7 percent after leading the pack at 28 percent in October. The sexual harassment allegations against Cain surfaced in late October.

They always forget to mention his extensive history of anti-second amendment legislation including a permanent ban on assault weapons and that he was a chicken hawk draft dodger back in Vietnam. And they accuse Gingrich of having too much baggage?
I’m waiting for someone to ask what has Romney ever done for America. Besides being the liberal candidate of the group, what are his accomplishments?
Isn’t there someone who can give voters a shout out on all his baggage and lack of accomplishments. The fact that he’s even a consideration, voters aren’t thinking for themselves - they need a shaking!
A pro-abortion Reagan denier, Romney crossed the aisle to promote abortion, gay rights, gun-control, liberal judges and advocated for and actually installed a socialist healthcare system (RomneyCare) which became the model and impetus for ObamaCare. He saddled his state with unnecessarily higher healthcare costs, busted budgets, busted Republican label, liberal activist judges, tax payer funded abortion, first in the union gay marriage, gun bans and individual mandates against the previously free citizens, complete with tax penalties for non-compliance.
Oh, yeah, and he saved the Olympics (but kicked the Boy Scouts out due to their clean and wholesome policies, ie, no homosexual scout masters).
Not even a moderate record. Romney is a liberal progressive, possibly even to the left of his ideological twin and ally, the late Ted Kennedy.

Newt Ping!
Romney is a Democrat.
Why does he even bother to put an (R) after his name?
What are his accomplishments? He has the powerbrokers support, and that is all that matters.
Mr. Huckabee WORKS for FOX and therefore pimps the
very man who, by dirty tricks, ended his candidacy.
Mr. Huckabee yesterday grimaced upon hearing the
word "Gingrich"; suggesting he is now in love with
his former backstabber (Romney).
The ineligible, coward, Mitt 'Hussein' Romney:
"I bet you $10,000 that the MSM will ignore
what we do today (impose ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE))
and will pimp me continuously, even as YOU rot in jail.”
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Milt Romney – the Magic RINO:
"I'm not running as the Republican view
or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
As of now, Newt has the vote of this Ohio not-Romneyan.
Life isn't too bad in the aftermath of Penn St beating the Buckeyes. They have problems of their own which are bigger than Big10 football.
I can't tell what the mood is in western PA for Pres yet. Not a lot of people want to commit.
I am going to work for Marc Scaringi for Senate in the primary. He is the best of what I have seen so far.
What is the mood in Ohio after the beatdown the unions gave?
This is going to be an interesting year.
All that crap you listed is exactly why democraps are gonna come out and vote for Romney during the South Carolina primary.
By "democrat", you mean @#$%! socialist, yes?
Communist plans for the takeover of America as recorded in the US Senate in 1963
Newt Ping!
OHIO .. super tuesday March 6th primary
proportional assignment of delegates (not ‘winner take all’)
Exactly. He has not done one thing FOR America. Can’t understand why he’s even a consideration for any TP member in Ohio. He doesn’t have one shred of patriotism in him, he’s all liberalism.
You're gracious, Jim, referring to the murdering, abortion-enabler merely as the "late Ted Kennedy". Since the spirit of Christmas has vanished from me in this regard, I prefer to call him the "rotting and burning in eternal hell Ted Kennedy with never a sip of his beloved alcohol to quench his thirst as he suffers without end along with his dear friends Lucifer, Stalin, Hitler, Marx and Lenin".
Well, that gives you some idea of what I think of Tedward. What I really think of this evil commie is not fit for print. :-)
FUTK!!!
Show me a pro-abort and I can pretty well predict their stance on any other political question. Their world view begins with a disrespect for human life.
