Nevertheless, Romley has not won ANYTHING. Not Iowa, not NH, not SC. It’s getting to that point that he HAS to win Florida, or it’s going to be very close to too late for him. I hope it doesn’t make him feel too bad.
Independents, the bugaboo of the establishment republicans, were not shy about swinging right in 2010. They responded to a strong message and sent a wave of candidates to office who campaigned on generally conservative ideas. No reason to think Newt is going to "scare them off" now, when obama has become even more deranged and dangerous.
I expect he will win Florida, and I expect the ruling class to go totally bananas. It should be a delight to watch.
Newt's gotten plenty of heat--but he gives back better than what he gets.
THAT is what our country needs right now. And that is what our "firebrand" founder of FreeRepublic has figured out, and what his forum is now fully focused on!
Agree, but Rush nailed this yesterday. Newt can’t make the whole campaign about running against the media: he has to start expounding and explaining CONSERVATISM and, yes, repudiating some of his nuttier ideas such as global warming.
But if he keeps the focus on Obama, the world is his oyster.
BTW, here in OH I just heard a Newt ad about the "second Republican Revolution" and it was excellent. Upbeat, prosperity, etc.
I love to see a Gingrich/West ticket. The LTC would get the military vote higher than ever. Watching him debate biden would be priceless.
It would shut the mouths of a few rascists, not many, but some.
Actually, it might be hilarious!
Newt is great but he’s not ‘safe.’
He needs a steady, reliable VP who has no negatives. One who will balance the ticket. I wouldn’t go West or even Palin.
Newt can’t make the whole campaign about trashing the media, but he should certainly continue to take his shots.
The media is extremely unpopular and people have loved Newt putting them in their place.
Is Newtalso getting death threats to his grandchildren?
What d charming edition of this story! I collect early children’s books, and love the artwork on this one. I wish I could find it to add to my collection.
I think I will try to keep the audio turned down on the speech tonight until Herman Cain comes on.
I think this is make or break time for them — if they attempt to go scorched earth and side with the MSM and Donkeys — they will be cutting their political throats and be the equivalent of the Whigs. Or, they can choose self-preservation.
Are they smart enough to choose wisely? We will know if Newt takes FL and Mittens is sent to the oblivion he deserves. I personally think these morons will go kamikaze against a Newt nomination and against the will of the American people. The RINO establishment IS that stupid.
Scott Walker.
If not Suzanna Martinez.

last night luntz, the spin pollster, only asked Obama vs Romney.
This AM LOOOOOOOONG before people had to leave for work they had Romney attempting to immitate Newt’s fighting style.
Gingrich was on closer to 9am when people already had left for work.
