Someone pinch me! Who could've imagined this just a month ago. $25 more to Newt tomorrow!

someone cue the imperial march music- vader returns and he finds your lack of faith disturbing.

I sure hope Newt is not taking this to seriously. Everybody and their dog is going to try to knock Newt out of the race..he can't relax until he wins a majority of the delegates and then the election in November.

It is amazing that so many people are able to look through what has been thrown at them, they must be having a heck of a political experience down there in Florida.

Didn’t something weird happen there back in 2000? I seem to remember some incident, but can’t put my finger on it.

Like they say in sales: “If it were easy, everybody’d be doing it and it wouldn’t pay nuthin’!”

“I seem to remember some incident, but can’t put my finger on it.”

If you are talking about the recount, that wasn’t my first thought.

My first thought was the Gore campaign buying a marketing group’s time, two weeks before the election, to call the Jewish people in FL to tell them they may have mistakenly voted for Buchanan.

Can you put your finger on another event?

Green Iguana. Look it up.

[ansel12]

You just reminded me that I have a brother who lives in Florida, he participated in that 2000 event.

[dixiechick2000]

I looked it up. It’s a very large lizard.

Point?

I am not for Gingrich as a first choice—he certainly would get my vote over Obama in the General if he were the GOP nominee, but indeed I am happy to see Mr. Romney be brought down a couple of notches, as he is the worst one up there save Ron Paul. Of course, things have been so volatile to-date for Election 2012-GOP, there is not any doubt in my mind that something completely different could be the case a month from now — the way the mass media pumps candidates up, and then unceremoniously knocks them down.

The Talk of the Green Iguana

[dixiechick2000]

LOL! I saw the bar, the Green Iguana, but didn’t know where you were heading.

My bad.

He’s orange, too. ;o)

If Gingrich wins Florida by a margin similar to the Rasmussen poll, that leaves Governor Romney one for four in the early primaries, which might be all Republicans need to fully swallow the notion that he's unelectable in a general election.
At the same time, if poor performances in the next couple of contests by Santorum do manage to cause his exit, it might be enough to help the surging Gingrich pull away for good.


Lord, hear our prayer!

GO NEWT!!!

GO FREE REPUBLIC!!!

Partial headline: Romney loses frontrunner status

Romney never was "THE frontrunner"...he's been a media myth propped up by both the MSM & establishment Republicans...

Not including caucus campaigns, he's 0-17 in races "on the road" (away from his home turf). He's not a viable candidate. All four sections of the country (South, Midwest, West, East) have rejected him.

Someone pinch me! Who could've imagined this just a month ago. [2ndDivisionVet]

The Mythster was propped up by media mythsters who figured they could force-feed him upon voters and stampede people into voting for him.

"If you want to talk about someone who's been an unreliable conservative, Speaker Gingrich sat down on a couch with Nancy Pelosi to talk about global warming and support cap and trade." Mitt Romney

“Romney never was “THE frontrunner”...he’s been a media myth propped up by both the MSM & establishment Republicans... “

Romney is the man to beat as long as conservatives split the vote between Newt and the other guy who wants to censor the internet.
