Reagan’s 11th Commandment rides again. Good for Newt.

Ha ha ha! Out-strategizing Romney.

Now Romney looks small for announcing a coming “sustained attack” on Newt Gingrich.

I love that they played this one out for the public/press. Now every attack ad makes Romney look petty.

Of course not, he might need Romney as a running mate. LOL He doesn’t have to hurt Romney once he passes him as there is no chance Romney could move up to threaten him.

If you are the frontrunner and assess correctly that the opponent is more likely to damage himself than you - or even gain no traction either way - it’s a viable strategy.

Staying classy.

Plus also Newt must have been sickened by the attacks that took place against Herman Cain.

Newt has been following a very smart strategy of uniting the GOP since the beginning of the campaign. He is doing so with class and wisdom. He understands we need a strongly united party and together we take on the real opponent. This was very evident in his interview with Hannity last night. Newt is smarter than the rest of them and I think he can beat Obama, but only with a unified front.

It’s just a taste of how he would handle Obama’s smear machine. He won’t fight back, period.

Reminds me of this old farmer down in Louisiana who admonished a bunch of kids with, “Don’t make fun of Bobby, you kids might turn out that way!”

Perry attacked Romney. How did that work out for him?

Why would a candidate up in the polls hit a lesser candidate? This seems like a no brainer to me to stay above the fray.

Gingrich moves into new mode: Attack Romney

Gingrich says one thing and does another. I don't trust a single word he utters. Newt is a political opportunist of the worst kind.
