Newt Gingrich's twin campaigns (Inside Look at Newt's Campaign)
Politico ^ | 3/20/12 | JONATHAN MARTIN and GINGER GIBSON

Posted on 03/20/2012 3:17:43 AM PDT by God-fear-republican

That cheery, DIY effort masks a different campaign, one that is slowly expiring in all the usual ways of terminal campaigns at the end-stage: cash is running low, supporters are griping about not getting paid and aides are valiantly trying to convince themselves as much as the press that, really, there is a path forward.......To a degree rarely seen in presidential politics, Gingrich is his own strategist, scheduler and press secretary.“He makes the decisions about 99.9 percent of the campaign,”.........“They never build any structure to live past the next state,” complained one GOP strategist who advised Gingrich in one key state earlier this year. “They’d go to the next state and have to re-invent the wheel.”.....

It takes the Hand of God for Newt to get elected, but that is why I like the man who has vision and who trust in God and preordained destiny.

Could it be that Newt has been burned more than once by so-called advisers and campaign managers who subtly sabotage his campaigns? Sort of like what happened with a former Alaskan Governor and a run for the vice-presidency?

Very sadly, he's running out of money, the mother's milk of politics, but I will continue to pray and donate as I'm able. The media are ignoring him.
Newt.org = The Only Candidate of Substance & Real Solutions!

The media are ignoring him for a reason. They want him every bit as much as the Democrats want him out of the race as he is their worst nightmare.

I am certain that many Democrats crossed over in the opens to sleight Mr. Newt by pumping up Santorum figuring their guy Romney has it in the bag.

Dirty tricks abound.

If we can get to the convention without a nominee, it becomes a whole new ballgame.

I truly believe you’re correct about that. I saw it happen right here in my own state. I would otherwise fully dismiss those claims as nonsense.

Yes! Brokered convention. I find it spectacular that all the good guys are for Newt Gingrich, including two of his former rivals: Governor Perry & Herman Cain; plus Ollie North, Thomas Sowell, Todd Palin and Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, Chuck Norris and others I’m omitting because of my poor memory at this hour.

If Newt wins LA, then things will improve. Watch for Dems to pull out all the stops to give Santorum another win.

Don’t worry, leave it to God. All we have to do is to trust and to pray and to pray harder!

Newt’s the last conservative in the race. Politico, the rest of the Obamedia and the GOP establishment want him out as of last month. They want to see it boil down to liberal Republican Mitt Romney and big government Republican Rick Santorum, both of whom would be chewed up and spit out by Obama’s machine.

GOP and Democrats the elites work together to destroy him, no doubt about that. But they can’t defeat God. If we repent, the Lord will give us a great leader; if not, we get Obama for 4 more years and beyond. Maybe that is what it takes for us to turn back to Him.

Hello the Romney camp spread that lie that Dems were voting for Rick to hide the fact Dems were voting for Mittens and to set up an excuse to explain away a loss in MI .
Check the exit polls in Iowa and NH The Dems voted for mittens and crazy Paul .
It’s sad to see Rombet AstroTurf spread here as fact .

Iowa and New Hampshire seem a million years ago, don’t they?

I still think the Democrats would much rather see Santorum win LA than Newt. If you want to throw Romney in with the Dems, I have no problem with that. The fact is, the sooner Newt is out, the sooner they can push Romney over the finish line.

Well I remember Gideon....few men, little money... and it was God himself who lowered the number of Gideon's army.....should Newt win it will definitely be by the hand of the Lord, and perhaps that is what the people need to see. It won't be by Newt's money nor by the size of his campaign workers....it will be by the Wisdom and Desire of God as Newt relys on Him to direct Him.

The thing is... this nation has been given time and time again to turn back to God and thus far have refused to do so..... Like Israel did, when things got better they abandoned God,... we have done the very same thing time and again in this nation..... 9/11 Stirred the nation....but instead of fighting our enemies we've catered to them....and they now have invaded this nation just as they did when Israel turned it's back on God. ...and that is judgment. Period.

Newt's desire is to bring this nation back under the Sovernity of God according to our Constitution and the documents which were written concerning this people.... He is NOT promoting religious dogma or doctrine....He's promoting this nation “UNDER GOD”....so that the Glory of this Nation is returned to God and the rightful place it should be.

I trust God that perhaps He might give us one more chance to get this nation back on track, but I also know it may very well be too late.

The world is setting up for all which prophecy does speak ,.... most recently Putin wants to build a “Eurasian Union,” a political/military/economic alliance – possibly with a common currency — with Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other 'Muslim' former Soviet Republics to become a regional/ global powerhouse,.. possibly by 2015, or even as soon as 2013....(Joel Rosenberg's site, and he's been accurate thus far....)....and it's all moving rapidly...... All nations know they have freedom to do as they want under the Obama administration who does and says nothing to prevent this advancement.

We can only pray now that the Lord might be Merciful to this nation and spare our downfall....at the least give us a soft place to land.

Meanwhile The International Community keeps the USA in the loop for need of our military worldwide when things get out of hand in any nation....and we've seen just that with Libya and others....and the only reason we as a nation are not squashed already..... Panetta made it clear that Obama has the authority to go to war as he sees fit...and congress will simply be informed....and no doubt war is coming yet again and we as a nation are being conditioned for that.

All the Orders Obama's recently passed are what Pres.'s do when going to war to protect and have the authority to act under any circumstances which war brings. Russia's ships and special forces to Syria...America's fleet sent out to the ME on top of what already is positioned there...the meeting recently with BEBE..and hosts of other indicators points to war in the very near future.

And so as I see it if this is to continue to play out Internationally....let the damnable Democrats take the fall with this entire mess if indeed there is a fall from Gods grace on this nation..... But if there is any hope for recovery to our God who we once honored and served....then let Newt rise to the occasion and take us to where we belong...... Other wise should any other candidate win this primary....prepare for the fall IMO.

Well, it's very sad. Newt is the only politician out there who impresses me as having the brains, knowledge and wisdom to really understand the nature of the problems we face beyond the usual talking points. So now it's petulant hall monitor in a sweater vest with a penchant for verbal idiocy, or a phony, pandering corporate raider; Gordon Gecko without the charm. The Pubs in their usual have chosen the “safe” choice. I'll vote for Newt when the time comes, but it seems we're stuck with Romney. He makes my skin crawl, but that's it. ABO.

I heard that the GOP elite asked a millionaire to stop giving to Newt, but doubt they will.

I sent Newt a donation this evening. This race is not over!
