FWIW

It seems to me that having a long lull in the primary schedule helps Newt. It gives him time to build up a cash reserve. It deadens the “momentum sting” in peoples’ minds. It gives him an opportunity to spend more time doing actual campaigning, instead of debate prep, etc.

Plus, the media seems to be turning on Romney now that he’s supposedly got it in the bag (after only 4 states?). Instead of flaking for him, they’re going to start covering all his negatives and gaffes, which will help Newt.

If Gingrich can narrow his message down to a few big proposals – instead of a garbage truck’s worth of medium-sized ones – he’ll have a chance of re-engaging conservative voters, and drawing a sharper contrast with the cautious policy platform Romney has put forward, which has failed to inspire the right.

I agree with this.

When Romney lost SC by nearly the same amount, that was a blip. When Newt loses FL he’s beaten to an inch of his life.

More fantasy spinning from the media.

We’re just two days into the “nobody can stop Romney” phase and he’s already stepped on his own d___ twice, once with the DNC-ready “I’m not concerned about the poor....” line and the second time with his “automatically tie the minimum wage to inflation” stupidity.

This thing is not over.

Oh, and Newt and Callista need to stop wearing black, especially at the same time, especially in the Sunshine State! This is a horrible image for Callista, all things considered.

Gingrich delivered a remarkably hazy-on-substance message in Florida.

I'll say. Newt needs to stick to Obamacare and the economy. No reason to stray off into moon exploration and judges when no one cares. The economy is in shambles and Obamacare is being instituted every day, little by little. These two titems are the only thing he should be focusing on. Especially in NV.

It’s hard to believe this came out of “Politico”. It’s GGOOD! If Newt is as smart as I know he is, he’ll read this and take it to heart. The outline, should he follow, it is his ticket to win!

We’re not liberals.

We demand solutions, not feel good trash presented in a small package easy to remember like, “Yes we can.”

The airwaves are another story: there, Gingrich is a favorite of talk radio hosts and Fox News opinion-makers.

Nice lie to slip in, Politico. They're allied with Romney.
