Everyone should just chill out about Newt. I ocncede that even he thinks he’s gonna run for president at this point but there’s no way he actually will. Newt brings good ideas and bad ideas to the discussion, and if we take on some of his good ideas we will all prosper from his presence on our side.

Remember how this works. Two years out, everybody alive is their OWN political party. The night before the 2012 election, we will each of us be in one camp or the other (or not matter at all). These polls are basically worthless.

IMHO Palin is clearly in the driver seat. Huckabee is not going to run. If he gets behind Palin, then she is clearly the front runner in Iowa. Then with her early Ayotte endorsement, she is well poised in NH. In fact McCain made a point on Hannity tonight to remind everyone the Palin endorsed Ayotte! Then in South Carolina, Palin will have Nikki Haley's endorsement.

Also, Palin went out on a limb and supported Rand Paul when all others would not. Since Ron Paul will not run because of his age (although he looks better than men 1/2 is age), the Paul family will support Palin. That put Ron Paul's numbers in Palin's column.
