um... yeah
Newt pleaded nolo contendere in that debate, let Romney’s mud go unanswered. It was a mistake to try to brush it all off with a link to newt.org. He had the floor, had a nationally televised debate’s audience, and should have addressed it then and there.
Many people, such as my wife and I, have already voted, so the poll may not have much impact.
“Mitt Romney’s performance in Monday’s debate turned out to be a game-changer after all. “
Yeah. I’m sure it’s not all the attacks and misinformation being done to Newt from the left and right.
It was the ‘debate’...
B.S.
It will swing right back to Newt tomorrow after tonight’s CNN debate - which will allow the audience to whoop it up for Gingrich.
Even taking this poll as “gospel”, Rick S. has the margin Newt would need to defeat Romney.
I’ll bet that makes Romney rest much easier at night...
Every media outlet is 24/7 anti-Gingrich all the time.
Fox News yesterday was in full-blown pro-Romney/Anti-Gingrich mode.
Florida is having Romney shoved down their throats despite Romney’s unelectability versus Obama.
I no case will I ever vote for Mitt Romney. In fact, I will work for his defeat in the general election. That’s how certain I am that a man who would sign legislation taking taxpayer money to pay for abortions is evil.
A Romney/Obama vote is not about the victory, it is about the soul of the nation, and that is not rhetorical flourish. It is a fact.
It will be the first time that it is glaringly evident that we are presented with humanistic liberalism as our only choice.
I hope Newt points out how hypocritical it is for a guy who’s top advisors are Fannie/Freddie lobbyists to be attacking him because his firm did consulting work for them.
I also hope he points out how hypocritical it is for a guy who claims to have never supported Reagan to smear him over his loyalty to Reagan.
What has Romney ever did for conservatism? Nothing!
Took a LOT longer than I thought, but the whole ex-wife business is likely finally filtering through women (conversations at the hairdressers, etc.) over time.
Big gender gap in the other polls as well.
Ya’ ever watched baby chicks in a box. When one finds something intresting and pecks at it, all the chicks run over to that corner of the box. Then another one does the same thing somewhere else. All the chicks run back and forth until they are exhausted.
Sort of like these primaries. I’m exhausted.
I’m glad it will all be over by the time it comes to Calif. Then I can write in Palin. ;o)
They realized that showing Newt ahead would mean that Romney voters would be more likely to stay home.
“The momentum of the debate performance, and perhaps the renewed aggression on the campaign trail for Romney, seems to be firmly established in new polling.”
Okay, show of hands of those who think that Myth will go after Obama as hard as he does his “fellow” Republicans?
Anyone?
Obama 60, Romney 40. You heard it here first.
All the big money and Wall Street has put their bucks on Romney. It has been done.
That is what any other candidate is fighting. The GOP establishment is like the Dem establishment. The candidates that get the Wall Street backing have the edge.
Elections aren’t about the people having any consideration. If the top dogs don’t care for the choice of the little guys, well, thats too bad.
Now, eat yer damn peas.
The tracking polls for primaries are EXTREMELY unreliable.
The best thing Newt could do to zing Romney would to bring up that one of Romney’s advisors has said Obamacare will not be fully repealed.
In Florida, that would be a killer diller.
This has been an extremely interesting GOP primary cycle. Previous ones were like coronations very early in the game. This is not only not a coronation - it’s one where the fight might go all the way to the convention floor. I’m hoping that whomever wins has enough fight left to take it to Obama.
I have been preaching it for years and years, all pollsters have a agenda, there is no science in political partisan polling period.
They are ALL dishonest, and in fact Ras is as bad as the NY Times.
All the pollsters are in the tank, for either the MSM or Rep establishment.
Sarah Palin I think figured this out, if the pollsters personally dislike you, it`s tough to win.
Make no mistake, most Americans are influenced by the polls, please do not tell me the American People are smart, they are NOT
As they say, the Republican establishment, like Scotland Yard, always gets its man! People in FL are pretty establishment types too, but they balked at Crist.
We must fight the Dredge,Cooter,Heck attack on Newt
Below are four non-FR links that freepers can send to all on their email list (ask recipients to forward), their facebook friends and any local politician and news media.
NEWT Needs us, lets use our commputers to help him contradict the lies. Truth will out.
