Fox News: Tea Party Vaults Gingrich into First

The latest Fox News poll shows Newt Gingrich leading the Republican presidential field, edging Mitt Romney. Gingrich now has the support of 23 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, compared with 22 percent for Romney, 15 percent for Herman Cain, 8 percent for Ron Paul, 7 percent for Rick Perry, 6 percent for Michele Bachmann, 3 percent for Jon Huntsman, and 2 percent for Rick Santorum.

Support for Gingrich has almost doubled over the past three weeks. Over that span, Gingrich is up 11 percentage points, Bachmann and Huntsman are up 3 points apiece, Romney is up 2 points, Paul and Santorum are down 1 point apiece, Perry is down 3 points, and Cain is down 9 points. The number of respondents who are either undecided or want someone else has dropped from 17 to 14 percent.

Ann Coulter: Isn’t she the one who is in love with the RINO Governors, Mitt Romney and Chris Christie? She almost had to be put on suicide watch when Christie announced he would not run for President? It’s easy for politicians, and their supporters, to criticize the ones who dared face the media onslaught to challenge Obozo. She’s just pi**ed because Christie didn’t have the ‘nads to get off his fat a** and get in the race.

I find it amazing how short some FReepers memories are.

Yeah but he can walk and chew gum at the same time, knows history and geography inside out, has a breadth of knowledge that dwarfs 99.9% of all Americans and can show Obama up for the intellectual lightweight he is in a debate. A pity Walker, Ryan or that Virginia Governor didn’t get in the race but such is life.

I wonder by how many percentage points “None Of The Above” would lead.

Shame on Fox News

Only 370 Registered Voters?

Any sample less then 800 likely voters is a worthless media push poll being spun to drive the story line, not a serious poll.

I expect these sort of sleazy tactics from the Leftist media. I thought Fox was better then this.

Fox News hasn't been better than this for quite some time. They don't report the news, they create the news.

Fox is so far in the tank for Romney, all they can do is destroy every other candidate since there's no other way Romney can win.

They're beginning to look positively schizophrenic with the Gingrich reports, though. Their problem is that, with Iowa so close now, they don't have as much time as they spent on Cain - first ignoring him, then tearing him apart.

Now they've got about half their reports proclaiming Gingrich is the conservative savior, and half of them pounding the Fannie/Freddie story about him.

They've been reporting for months that Romney is stuck in the low to mid twenties. Your candidate is imploding and it's no ones fault but his.

A reminder from Coulter about Newt...”In addition to having an affair in the middle of Clinton’s impeachment; apologizing to Jesse Jackson on behalf of J.C. Watts — one of two black Republicans then in Congress –- for having criticized “poverty pimps,” and then inviting Jackson to a State of the Union address; cutting a global warming commercial with Nancy Pelosi; supporting George Soros’ candidate Dede Scozzafava in a congressional special election; appearing in public with the Rev. Al Sharpton to promote nonspecific education reform; and calling Paul Ryan’s plan to save Social Security “right-wing social engineering,” we found out this week that Gingrich was a recipient of Freddie Mac political money.”

I don't trust Gingrich any farther than I can throw an icebox, so I'll stay on the Cain train.

This is being reported by the left-wing
RINO weekly Standard.

Run by little bill kristol.

Me either. For me it is Cain or nothing. I just don’t see any of the others winning or even coming close. I will not vote for another RINO. I don’t know if I can vote for Newt. If and I repeat, IF Mr. Cain did what he is accused of and it costs him the nomination, then I guess I am done on the presidential election. I’ll vote the others on my ballot. But I am not voting for another RINO. I am sick of HAVING to vote for a LIBERAL REPUBLICAN!!! McCain made me sick and I had to vote for that fool, knowing full well that even if he won, we were screwed anyway. I will not do that again. Never again! No conservative, then no vote. I’m done. Evil is evil. I am done voting for the lesser of two evils.

SPAM POSTING BY VIRGINIA RIDGERUNNER [aka] Newbie Timber Rattler!

Interesting. It was obvious to anyone who has 'run across' Timber that its first posts were NOT 11/2/2011.

Well, I’m a Newt supporter, but I intend to hang around FR and battle the circular firing squad. When they attack Herman Cain, I’m gonna defend him on his pluses. When they attack Rick Perry, I’m gonna point out his strong points. When they attack Milt Rominy or Barry the White Hut bassturd, I’m gonna shut up and let the work go forward.

I don’t think these sexual harrassment charges hurt him at all...they are crap and everyone knows it.

Cain hurt himself with his own mouth. He should be studying foreign affairs and the issues. Now he wants to know how you say “delicious” in “Cuban”. Yeah, Obama has done that, and Cain could survive. But, right now, he looks ignorant and overwhelmed. Wasn’t happy with the Mrs. interview either.

I am still stubbornly for Cain...but he is gonna have to spend a lot more time on his knees asking for wisdom. (James 5:1)
