I typed it down from Fox, about 3 minutes after it was reported and put up on their screen. It wouldn’t have taken me 3 minutes, but I was laughing so hard it was tough to type. LOL
However, it’s like any of these polls, I only believe the ones I like. LOL
In regards to Gingrich though, there is a big difference.
Newt is well known by most everyone in the base of this party. Newt’s surge has not really been a surge at all. It has been a steady climb since the debates started. when most wrote Newt off at first, due exactly to what one would call his “baggage”, they slowly started noticing that he remained smart, logical, steady and displayed the greatest skill among all the other candidates. Which is precicely what we need and are looking for most, this time around.
Add to that appeal, his extremely sharp mind and intelligence, that now seems to be channeled in all the directions that we always expected from him but did not get, the new picture most of us see is now appealing.
I see Newt’s progress as a result of people like us who have reconsidered who and what Newt has become. And I do not think that the MSM attacks and smears will have much impact. Of course, I am a realist, so time will tell.
