Any poll numbers at this point are a floor for Newt. He will do a good job of making a conservative case to the entire nation.

These polls must be driving the media reporters and pundits crazy.

Have figured out why they hate Newt - when he brings up a complex argument - they are too lazy to do research - if they did - and if they could comprehend - they would have to admit he is right!!!!!!!

Both Romney and Gingrich Tie Obama on 2012 Ballot

This is good news, given what we all know about who will be energized for the election, and who won't.

0bama is beatable by anybody other than 0bama lite. In other words, Mitt Romney would not be a good GOP nominee.

For the third straight week, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has lost ground in a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup against President Obama.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Obama attracting 48% of voters, while Gingrich earns the vote from 37%. Nine percent (9%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Heard this on Rush today. Newt should use it as a campaign ad 24/7. It is not vicious...it is factual. Romney is Obama lite.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/12/20/romney_2010_flashback_on_obamacare_repeal_the_bad_keep_the_good

RUSH: Okay. So the reason people keep bringing this up is that you can go back to just last year, and you can hear Romney totally supportive of the mandate. Which is what the entire question of constitutionality on this bill is all about. That’s what’s going to be decided in the Supreme Court. Here’s Romney supporting it. But when he’s asked about it, “I’m gonna get rid of Obamacare, it’s horrible,” but in 2000, “Oh, there’s some things I like about it.” It just goes to the flip-flop nature, or the flip-flop charge, if you will.

And the other half ain't all that bright either.

This must be an old Poll. Mitt is the only man who has a chance of taking down Obama—All others will go down to defeat before the impressive Obama Machine and his hundreds of millions of Black Voters. Newt is nuts—Why he thinks Judges should be arrested and sent to Palestine. A Religious nut to—don’t ya know he sat on a couch with the evil Nancy Polosi? He is too fat—too smart—too, not Romney.

IMpossible. Every media whore on the air has been crowing about how Gingrich's support is "collapsing."

Obviously someone is lying.

Newt has had the worst thrown at him by all of his rivals and the lamestream on both sides, yet he is still tied and moving ahead!

Now he’s answering his attackers and also landed the Family Assocation endorsement that Santorum wanted.

GO GINGRICH!

“and if they could comprehend”

That is the problem they have with Newt. He is too smart for them and they are too obtuse to understand him.

Romney just smiles and looks pretty, and mumbles nonsense that even he doesn’t understand because it is illogical or double talk.
