I sure hope he does.
ML/NJ
“National Journal” is an “Inside-the-DC-Beltway” “Rommneyite” RAG!
I WANT him to stay in and keep on expressing what I believe. He knows that this election is strictly along ideological lines. It is the Constitution party vs the What Constitution? party. Newt is able to enunciate this. The others are not. The Dems REFUSE to enunciate their core beliefs because they are nauseating to Americans. Newt is able to point those core beliefs out for all to see.
That is why we need him, baggage notwithstanding.
Obviously Romney and Paul are in it to the end. The only question is who will emerge as the not-Romney? If Perry and Santorum perform poorly on Saturday, then the anti-Romney will be be Newt. Newt’s debate performance last night-—especially the encounter with Juan Williams——virtually assures Newt will come in first or second. Ron Paul gave his worst debate performance EVER. Sounded like a cross between George McGovern and Tom Hayden.
Why would anyone drop out early with the new Proportional Delegate scheme the GOP has in place this year? I don’t see anyone dropping out, except for maybe Perry, till after FL.
Perry has said he’s in through Florida no matter how he does in SC. What does that tell you?
Good reasoning on Newt’s part.... Anything around 40 percent shows that Romney has finally managed to push through the anti Romney ceiling. At 25 percent, he is still beatable, providing either Newt or Santorum could run unopposed on the other side.
Newt takes SC. If he can destroy Romney with real attacks, he can knock out Romney next week.
After Gingrich takes S.C. his munbers will go sky high.
Iowa and New Hampshire were proportional in the delegates distributed after the votes. So Mr. Gingrich has delegates to take to the convention. He should stay in until the delegate count is unbeatable. Not the vote count of one or two small states.
The Newt that showed up lat night was great. I enjoyed watching him stomp a mud hole in Juan (race baiter) Williams.
It all depends on the money.
Meanwhile, South Carolina, it’s up to you to take the spirit of last night’s debate into the voting booth on Saturday and keep a non-Romney option alive.
I would say anyone in first,second, and even third should stay in at least until a closed primary.
Actually, I would include fourth place due to Paul (fake Republican)
Reagan battled Ford all the way to the convention. We know Gingrich knows this. He was probably there.
If we can just get this honed down to Newt vs. Romney, I believe Newt will win it.
Pretty shocking that this is even a topic of conversation at this stage, and that Newt even bothered to respond.
Many people are excited about Newt because he is inspiring, uplifting. He needs to stay positive all of the time.
Newt is asking SC voters to do the math. The break out point was last night’s debate. The voters secured Romney or they fight back and vote for Newt. The rest are jungle brush that has to be cut away now to prevent the Romney cram down.
It is the math.
