Bad Newt - Used 30 Minutes of Megan Kelly’s On-air Time To Discuss his GA win and the GOP Primary.
Consensus of the Fox panel: “Good grief!! Newt took 30 minutes to make his points!!!” (30 minutes of not talking about Mitt’s Super Tuesday).
And what was up with Fox News not running the GA vote totals on the ticker strip?
Sarah Palin disclosed to Neil Cavuto that she voted for “the cheerful one.” (Newt)
Newt Gingrich picked up 69 additional delegates. His total to date 102 delegates. (By my count, he had 33 going into Super Tuesday and picked up 46 in GA, 2 in ND, 13 in OK and 8 in TN)
Larry Sabato’s pronouncement early in the evening that the VA GOP Primary ballot was rigged to help Romney, shockingly was given air time. A two-man field gave Mitt the majority win and 43 delegates.
Speaking of “Mitt helping” (going by the GOP’s own rules) the FL delegates should not have been winner take all, but rather proportional since the FL GOP moved their primary before March 1 (They were docked 30 delegates which I’m sure they hope the GOP will forgive and return to Mitt but they refused to adhere to the March 1 = proportional delegates. This would have given Newt many more delegates.) Word is this issue will be resolved at the convention.
Near the close of Fox’s coverage, it was very petty (but becoming his closing signature zinger) of Brit Hume to read a David Axelrod tweet saying that Mitt had just eked out a win in Ohio (Brit announced that tweet proved the Democrats don’t want to face Mitt and would much rather face Newt or Rick).
In fact, the entire night of Fox coverage was a vision of dismissal, mocking and annoyance with Newt Gingrich.
Fox News is carrying a ton of bias baggage for Mitt Romney.
The question now: Can Fox News drag Mitt into the GOP winner’s circle?
March 10th -- KS Caucus (40 del)
March 13th -- AL Primary (47) AND MS Primary (37)
March 15th to 24th – MO Caucus (49)
March 20th IL “Loophole” Primary (69)
March 24th LA Primary (18)
And so on….
BTW, is it just me or is there something a little bit unbalanced about Megyn Kelly?
She seems overly “turned on” to being on camera. It’s creepy.
“I despise Rove and company.”
He likes to say he’s a political analyst and only gives the “facts”...we can accept it or not but we shouldn’t blame him for “the way it really is.” In this case, he’s giving us percentages as the only fact that should matter - ignoring the truth and spinning as it suits him. That’s a fact.
Rove is no more an unbiased analyst than are stephanopoulos, carville, etc. He’s on FOX for no reason than to push his agenda.
But Newt Southern Strength is impressive. Adding Tenn would have been awesome.
Really need to add huge numbers in KS, AL, MS
Southern Delegates by Candidate. Sc, Ga, Tn, Ok
Newt 85 52.7%
Santorum 39
Mittens 37
Sc Delegates were halved and He was robbed in FL.
Good. It’s not just me.
Another sneaky snipe at JimRob. Why don't you have the moral courage to ASK him outright? Go ahead, ping him, instead of implying he is weak for preferring NEWT.
Oh, Onyx, keep working! What an opportunity!
