((((RUDY PING))))

Looks good for Newt, he's moving up and he's not even campaigning.

[veronica]

Here we go. I am not sure I am ready for a whole year of this. LOL!

[flintsilver7]

So where is Ron Paul? I thought the drug issue was going to be front and center this election, allowing Ron Paul to make a real difference in American politics.

Sorry, what was I saying?

[areafiftyone]

LOL! Looks like McCain is shrinking!

[NeoCaveman]

For Gingrich, the latest numbers are 43% favorable and 48% unfavorable.

if that 48% unfavorable is true, he shouldn't run. And I say that as a Newt fan.

[areafiftyone]

LOL! Ron Paul is a idiot! He was one of the 17 Republicans who voted against the surge.

[veronica]

Newt ain't gonna be the guy. No way. No GOP candidate can win without pulling in some "Reagan Democrats" and Newt won't make it happen.

Again this far out doesn't mean a whole lot. But again a few thoughts. One, Newt is right to wait to announce. The sooner you announce the sooner you can make some bonehead mistake, like Anti-Christian bloggers or saying U.S. Servicemen are being wasted. Shorter the campaign the shorter the time the MSM can play gotcha.

Second, McCain has no base. He has so ticked off the conservatives in the country with his MSM ass kissing that now that they have turned on him (as predicted)he has no base to stop his freefall.

Third, Rudy has gotten a free ride that won't last. So we will see how his numbers hold when the MSM takes off after him.

Fourth, Romney is a joke.

Okay Duncan Hunter fans it is your turn.

I think Newt will get a big bump from undecideds about even to or more than McCain when he gets in on Labor Day

[TommyDale]

Rudy = 33%

Not Rudy = 67%

[flintsilver7]

Ron Paul votes against everything.

Everybody outside of Reason (possibly outside of Radley Balko) seems to know that Ron Paul is a loon, but he has his fan base here.

[RockinRight]

I wonder how he'd be doing if he were campaigning?

[veronica]

Lord I wish people would be realistic. I love Newt but he zero chance of getting the nod. Less than zero.

[BUSHdude2000]

I wonder how he'd be doing if he were campaigning?

He'd be locking up the conservative vote. He's the biggest name among the conservative candidates.

[Patrick1]

I agree. Newt's chances are slim at best because of his behavior in the late 90s, but I do enjoy him in debate and his ability to hammer the left.

[veronica]

He's brilliant. I wish he could win, but he can't.

You'll all see, the Great Pumpkin will rise again from the Pumpkin Patch, Charlie Brown! ;-)

Maybe some capaigning will do something about those unfavorable ratings. If not, I smell toast.

Newt has backed it back to November. He is already talking to one of the campaigns about his ideas and wrote an editorial in conjunction.
