Gingrich leads Romney among men 38% to 25%, followed by Paul with 21%. Among women, Gingrich leads Romney 42% to 26%, followed by Paul with 16%, and Santorum with 13%.*snip*
The trend to Gingrich continues, with women leading the way. In the January 17-18 survey, Gingrich was leading Romney 29% to 28% among women, in this survey Gingrich leads Romney 42% to 26% among women. Gingrich has become the anti-Romney among women and that is driving his total share up. The debate on Thursday and his ex-wife problem did not slow the trend.
Women for Newt?
Oh, happy days! Go, Newt!
Thank you Mzz Ex-Noot
Being as this is an open primary, couldn’t we have the usual poll trolls voting for mittens and throwing this thing away from Newt??
“Among women, Gingrich leads Romney 42% to 26%, followed by Paul with 16%, and Santorum with 13%.”
CANNOT BE SHOUTED FROM ENOUGH ROOFTOPS!
Designed to keep Newt voters home? Won’t work if it was.
What about the February primaries. Right now at least, Romney looks poised to take many of them, such as NV.
But, a big Gingrich win here could help change that.
“Women for Newt? “
Yeah...what happened?
I thought we were all supposed to get the vapors and drop into horrified swoons at the mere mention of his name?
[maybe some gals finally got into those “alpha male” slap downs he’s been handing to pansy Moot]
Which is precisely why he has no business going up against an ideologue who does "have the capacity to explain with some color and sort of force" the ideas of redistribution.
Krauthammer has been slow to come to admitting the obvious fact that Romney doesn't "explain" conservative ideas because they are not part of his intellectual DNA, as they are with someone who has immersed himself/herself in the ideas of America's founding history.
Gingrich's quick analysis of opposing ideas, combined with an ability to put them in historical context, didn't just come about by osmosis. They came about through a lifelong study of history. In recent decades, Ronald Reagan is the only American president who was so familiar with our founding ideas that he could weave them into discussions on "issues" of the day; thereby giving clarity to threats to liberty.
By the same token, the Fall 2012 opponent has studied, been mentored in, and well understands the ideology and strategies for presenting his case for redistribution, government planning, and control--all the while masking them in benevolence and "taking care" of those to whom he appeals, even as his policies are enslaving future generations.
His Republican opponent needs to be able to rebut, rebuke, and reveal the cloaked tyranny encased in his appealing message to those who see him as a benevolent leader, not a threat to their posterity's Creator-endowed right to be free.
Gingrich is right.
The goal of the primaries is to determine a candidate who can bring such clarity to the ideas of conservatism that Obama's counterfeit ideas will be defeated. Romney, in the words of Krauthammer, "simply doesn't have the capacity" to do it. At least, he has not shown it to this point; and that "capacity" cannot be coached. It must be a natural outgrowth of understanding.
Is this an open primary? Otherwise, who cares what rats and indys think.
Sarah said to vote for Newt on Tuesday night. Wednesday was when his poll numbers stated climbing.She still has it.
Sure will be glad when we get to the closed primaries. He's going to get a few delegates at the Republican convention due to the votes of Democrats and other non-Republicans.
"Among women, Gingrich leads Romney 42% to 26%"
The media and establishment GOP meme is falling apart in front of their eyes. LOL!
Bless you, Marianne!
Go, Newt!!
Of course now the MSM is trotting out the “well does SC vote really matter that much” line. Now that got Bill Clinton into a little hot water last time. If I understand this all the next battle is Florida and that will really be big for Romney depending on how he does tonight. It will be interesting if Rubio makes an endorsement for that.
We need Rupaul to stay in. He is costing Milt liberal votes in open primary states.
