When Gingrich ignited the electorate in the debate before the SC vote, the energy was palpable. They’d seen how Mitt had campaigned with negative ads in Iowa and were fired-up to give Newt their nod with their vote.
Then Romney’s team saw they had to “kill” Newt with an overwhelming barrage of negative ads ($20Million in a 10 day blitz in FA alone) - lies and distortions. Yet Newt still came in 2nd and took a majority of districts (but none of the delegates because the FL GOP is not playing by the rules that say, they would give del proportionally, if they held their primary before March 1).
Then the MSM (inc Fox!) took over and started the beat-down followed by the black-out of Newt’s campaign. But through sheer ability and with a clearly articulated conservative message Newt has remained in the news, discussed by Obama and Axerold because he’s hitting them where they live.

OMG!!
This is on the same track as the 2008 Democratic Party primary.
“I have said I will support the person who stands to wrest the nomination from Romney. It seems to be Sanrorum because it is too late for Newt in the primaries. Newt knows that too.”
This is March and the Republican convention is August, five months away. The election is in November. It ain’t over until the balloon drop at convention’s end.
And Ronald Reagan’s poll numbers were around 30% in October, 1980, but he pulled ahead to win the Presidency.
It is Newt Gingrich the Democratic Party fears, just like with Sarah Palin. They know that Newt will change Washington, D.C., and the gravy train will end.
We should be choosing candidates who give the Democrats sleepless nights and nervous fits, not laugh out loud with hilarity like Santorum incites.
You do understand that Newt is past the point of winning the nomination, don’t you? He would have to win all the delegates in all the states left.
That is not going to happen.
From a friend on FB....
“I just heard during the newsbreak on the radio that a source from ABC news reported that Gingrich is leaving the race tomorrow. Has anyone heard anything?”
Any truth to this?
I know. And it just makes me sick. :-) But I am in to the end. When they get to Texas, I will be working hard for him.
He would have won the in person Texas straw poll if the Paultards hadn’t blown it out. They completely fried the text poll. I believe he will at least have a strong showing here & may win it outright.
:-) Stay cheerful & resolute!
You keep bringing this up. It does not apply to Santorum. get a grip and face reality.
All this just make you look desperate and nobody is listening.
One thing is going to happen for sure. Primaries are going to continue. Newt can’t win all the rest of the delegates and unfortunately Rick probably won’t win enough either.
Either Romney will win what he needs before the convention, or we will have a brokered convention and they will throw it to Romney using delegate hokey pokey.
Fantasy is nice, but is is wishful thinking.
Now if someone finds a tweet with Mitt doin’ a weiner or a bimbo shows up, give me a ping, that could change things.
How do you know he hasn’t? Are you the one checking the papers? Is his Dad still alive? Did you buy into this over the internetz?
Again, get a grip.
Drop the Santorum birtherism. And that is straight from Jim.
Thomas Sowell for President.
What a load of dung.
Perry’s approach to the problems you cited were best for Texas in his opinion.
Please proceed with the screed concerning Perry’s deeply insulting and gut-wrenching “Heartless” remark.
I’ve not heard anything remotely like that and I’m replying to you almost 12 hours later.
Marguerite, I'm not doubting your numbers but I'd love to have the name of the poll with that 18% number to inform people of this specific danger in beating Obama. Thanks in advance.
It’s from a Gallup poll, Sal.
Sorry, I don’t have the link, but you can google it.
