Funny I first read that as “Key Granger” as in an important member of the Grange.
Sounds less like a prediction and more like a threat.
No, it is not a threat, it is my opinion, as a Republican.
Sounds more like “You will bow down to me, son of Jor-El. Oh yes, you will kneel before Zod!”
HUH?
Zod is the villain from Superman II
I’m guessing that either you didn’t see or don’t remember the movie Superman II.
How about the possibility of a “Super Ego Presidential ticket” of Mitt Romney/Newt Gingrich? Scary. I’m still rooting for a Fred Thompson/Duncan Hunter Presidential ticket.
lol, I do that all the time now. I’m glad I am not the only one!

To my mind, an endorsement should come without strings attached, otherwise it may not be a true endorsement.
Maybe Thompson and Giuliani wouldn’t give her a job and/or a title on the campaign. So, which came first ... the job/title offer, or the endorsement?
H
Newt is a sharp guy. Too much baggage though.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
He always did go after the log cabin vote aggressively.
Sounds less like a prediction and more like a threat. A threat he won't be able to follow through on, since a little bird told me about a NH poll that's about to be released which shows him dropping like a stone. :)
Newt also has a giant ego which could work against him if he also decides to run for President. I still wouldn’t mind having Newt enter the ‘08 Presidential race if only to help improve the overall debate on the GOP side.
Rep. Granger is a supporter of expanding funding for embryonic stem cell research right?
