Either Romney or Gingrich or can beat Obama if they do it right...
I think

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.

This is just another fabricated hit piece from the commie-dominated lamestream media. US News & World Report has taken the place of Pravda as a purveyor of lies.

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.

There's also the likability factor. Voters tend to vote against candidates they don't view as likeaable.

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.

You are correct and the poll above is correct, several people her need to rethink what they are doing, both Rush and the two Marks say the lady would be a good conservatiive president.

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.

Gingrich's support is "decimated" when voters are exposed to just one negative ad, said polling firm Evolving Strategies.

Is Newt not capable of retorting such an ad??

It's funny how this 'poll' differs so much from RCP Average: Newt 33.5%, Romney 22.3% (others single digits, includes 5 most recent national polls)

You'd almost think that commie USN&WR was trying to lie about Newt ... oh, wait

Newt dropped 7% in the latest Gallup poll but no one picked that 7% up.

Rick Perry is the candidate with the total package.

He has conservative credentials (pro-life, pro-gun, pro states rights) He's a very successful governor of a state that has prospered despite the Obama recession.

He actually has and is taking on Obama in lawsuits and publicly as an executive.

He is personable and likable.

He has a great family.

Perry is the choice Conservatives should be looking to.

So you claim to be backing Bachmann, yet you post an article about how this kind of attack benefits Romney but does little for other candiates?

You were a Romney pimp last election, and IMO you still are.

Early in the campaign the media decided on Romney as the guy they would handle with kid gloves because he offers, in their opinions, the greatest contrast with Obama and thus the most easily defeated. Newt was written off. Now way in the world he would get the nomination.

But now, with Newt on the ascendancy, they are in full panic mode. The other Republican candidates have no reason to waste their money and time in smearing Newt because the media will do it for them. Because they are terrified now that Newt might actually get nominated.

And while they will facilely dismiss him as unelectable their greatest fear may be realized—that Obama might actually have an opponent who is smart enough, articulate enough, and courageous enough to really take him on. Remember McCain’s almost apologetic tone as he offered milquetoast criticisms of Obama? That will not be Newt’s approach (though it will be Romney’s) and they know it. He will expose the pretender-in-chief for the the socialist/communist that he really is and I do not have the confidence that anyone beside Newt has the ability to do that. (As sincere as Bachmann and Santorum and Perry are, I am just not convinced they could pull it off.)

Yes, Newt has issues. He has baggage. He has contradictory positions and he is more friendly to big government solutions than I would like. But if we are worried about him, then the answer is not to abandon the person who can give Obama the most forceful challenge. Instead, we should work night and day to make sure that we win both houses of Congress. That will go a long way toward keeping him in line.

I won’t deny that Newt is a loose cannon, prone to shoot from the hip. But at least he is a cannon. And in a field of pea shooters and b-b guns, he is what we need.

...took money from Fannie Mae and backed other non-conservative issues...

Working in the private sector and representing or advising a GSE is non-conservative? Is that because making money is non-conservative? The scent of BS within this survey/poll is strong

The Romneybots are becoming desperate. This article is the proof.

I find it quite telling that the link from this article to Evolving Strategies does not tell us the specific anti-Newt and anti-Romney ads so we can decide for ourselves just how hard-hitting the respective negative ads are. All kinds of ways an outfit can manipulate this kind of survey.

The current Republican candidates are determined to send our nominee into the General Election beaten, bloodied and broke. Obozo and the Dems have got to be pissing their pants with glee at our Primary Process. And please, don’t anyone tell me the vetting process is good. The vetting was over three weeks ago; now it’s just sheer “search and destroy”. We will pull defeat from the jaws of victory, by damn.

But Mitt Romney won't be susceptible to any of our democrat attacks.

Mitt Romney is the perfect GOP candidate, we democrats really really think so.

So you should choose Mitt Romney.

Really. you should.

We would be really really afraid if you chose Mitt Romney to run against us. We meant it!

That would be just awful for us...

Besides, he's next, right?

Newt Gingrich is extremely susceptible to negative ads and drops behind Mitt Romney when hit with charges he pushed for a health care mandate

Cognitive dissonance: a shift to supporting Romney (father of RomneyCare) because Newt's ties to an old health care mandate proposal were bad.
