It's not too late...

GOP presidential front-runner Newt Gingrich is extremely susceptible to negative ads and drops behind Mitt Romney when hit with charges he pushed for a health care mandate, took money from Fannie Mae and backed other non-conservative issues, according to a new poll provided exclusively to Washington Whispers.
Gingrich's support is "decimated" when voters are exposed to just one negative ad, said polling firm Evolving Strategies.
"The percentage of respondents picking Gingrich as their first choice in the primary falls more than 15 points, from 42 to 26 percent," they said. [See pictures of the 2012 GOP candidates.]
In the innovative ad testing of voters nationwide, Evolving Strategies found that former Republican front-runner Romney benefits most from voters turned off by the negative Gingrich ads, with his support rising 10 points, a 39 percent increase in his standing.

It's not too late...
Maybe Perry too I think.
If we lose to the commie next year not only do we let ourselves down but the whole country and the next generation.
Democrats choose their candidate on the basis of who will be most effective at increasing the size and scope of government. Republicans try to pick somebody who will increase government the least. Either way we end up with bigger government. No wonder we are on the brink of total collapse.
Newt and Callista are not very likeable.
“It’s not too late...”
72 hours after cat’s paw Rollins’ imbecilic smears it was too late.
It is waaaaay too late.
On his worst day, Newt comes across as more likeable than the utterly charmless, condescending, arrogant and cold Obama.
Sure, after obummer hits newt with $500 million in negative ads he will landslide the newt.
Please this woman’s political hyperbole and craziness finally caught up with her, if she’s the nominee you can guarantee 4 more year of Romper Room... won’t even be a general Election. She wouldn’t get over 44-45% of the vote on her best day.
There is a reason she’s a non starter.
Its been too late for Bachmann ever since the Gardasil comments.
Who is on the GOP side this time around?
None, really. Cain was, but that ship has sailed.
Given Perry’s repeated blunders in the debates, its clear he likely would lose the general. Newt and Romney, like it or not are the only 2 in this race with any real potential.
Perry could probably do the job, but won’t win the general. Newt and Romney I know can do the job, but probably not in the fashion I would fully agree with, but unlike the guy in the office now, could actual DO IT and not be steamrolled by it. And both can win the general election. No other person in the class of 2012 can meet that rather low bar.
Is Newt not capable of retorting such an ad??
You'd almost think that commie USN&WR was trying to lie about Newt ... oh, wait
Evolving Strategies is A Romney polling firm
Cain was a disaster waiting to happen, he had no chance in a general election.
Make that “US Newts & World Retort”.
This is clearly a statement about the GOP primary, not the general election, and Romney attacking Newt over health care is laughable... That’s a non starter, Romney not only advocated it, he pushed for it and signed it... so this is all silliness IMHO.
