If Newt becomes emperor I guess we can expect private emnterprise to be remodeled in the Freddie Mac mold. Then again, who knows, he is so unreliable it’s pathetic.

He belongs in a think tank, not in power.

Anyone else thinks polls are manipulated?

Yeah enjoy it while it lasts. Just shifted the target off Cain’s back onto his.

And unlike Cain, he doesn’t have $14 million to spend fighting the smear merchants

Yes, some polls more than others.

I remember seeing polls that polled 19% Republicans and 40% Democrats to get the results they wanted. Way back in the day, people almost never check the internals.

Is this a national poll?

National polls mean nothing!

Read my lips... Iowa, South Carolina and... oops I forgot the other one.

Great, a glib, well-spoken soft-statist.

Gingrich may not be leading this field, but his second wind looks legitimate — and Gingrich is experienced enough to keep from stepping on his momentum

I would not be so sure of that. His deer in the headlight rambling response to the Fannie/Freddie questions was not so hot. Then his meekly backing down when the CNBC moderator refused to back off the Health Reform question also did not look too great.

I don’t think that Newt will be able to stay up there very long...at all.

This bimbo crap with Cain seems to have died out at the end of the week. It did damage Cain, but now he has the chance to get back on message. Meanwhile Newt stepped in it again, by siding with Anita Hill against Cain...

Now, with Newt in the top tier, we’ll all get to know Newt a bit better - and there is a LOT TO KNOW. I expect him to take the same roller coaster ride down that Perry took.

Isn’t this the “all adults” poll? The plan goes on...on to Newt...destroy him...hello candidate Romney. Only if we let it happen. If we do, shame on us.

“I would not be so sure of that. His deer in the headlight rambling response to the Fannie/Freddie questions was not so hot. Then his meekly backing down when the CNBC moderator refused to back off the Health Reform question also did not look too great.”

He has so much to answer for, I would spend the weekend just typing it up. I had a fun time pointing out just who Perry was, but Newt’s baggage is at least 10 times as much.

I think his support is VERY SOFT at this point. His supporters know his baggage, but they’re simply sick of the Cain bimbos, and they liked Newt’s debate skills...but no one trusts Newt to nearly the degree Cain’s supporters trust Cain. They know Newt can flake on ANY issue, at ANY time...but they also think that Newt has a better chance than the others next year...if he figures out just how to look like a conservative.

It’s McClatchly drivel. They’re more far left than MoveOn. Cain’s way out from with Gingrich second. Romney has been stuck on 22 percent since 2006.

The Smear Newt Campaign will probably be launched Sunday on the “Propaganda Shows” AKA the “News Shows.”

Its a poll of less than 500 people that gives the press and Romney bots something to write about because they really don’t want Cain.

Anyone that thinks that this poll was not planned precisely to generate these stories is naive.

Newt has more baggage than any other candidate running.
The democrats are salivating at the chance of bringing
it all out when the time is right.

A partial list of Newt’s baggage:

“Social engineering from the right is also bad”
“Medicare withering on the vine”
“We are not going to deport 11 million people”

For healthcare mandates before he is against it
For man made global warming before he is against it

3 marriages all in 1 life time, with some adultery included
Newt has more recorded votes in congress than all except Ron Paul, and will be dissected & bisected by MSM.

I do hope that this poll does get some play...as it would put Newt into fair play, and Newt will pay, and pay dearly, for his sins.
