I still believe Newt can be a Dark Horse. Mitt Romney looked like the winner last night though. We will see how the primaries do. Perry really sucked.
I’m not completely sure of my memories of 2007, but I was thinking a few days ago that Newt Gingrich was following a John McCain path. I seem to remember John McCain dropping into the low single digits in the polls. He then started slowly rising back into contention. The debates are giving Newt Gingrich a chance to show why he’s been so popular for so long.
I agree that Perry was terrible.
The establishment Republicans want either Romney or Perry. That's why the big press focuses on a pretend battle between the two. You'll hear everywhere in the MSM that Romney won.
Any real conservative will say the same: Cain and Gingrich won.
