With the first official nominating contest, the Iowa caucuses, now just six weeks away, there is no clear national front-runner for the Republican nomination....

Get used to it!

When you write stuff like that (along with the rest of your cutting comments on this forum) you appear to be a poster intent on causing division.

It's not debate; it's not giving a strong defense; you just tear down and insult.

Interesting.

I believe that's a classic definition of trolling.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ron Paul has a better chance of getting the nomination than La Raza Rick.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Indeed. The Perrywinkles having trolling down to a “T.”

[pgkdan]

Perriwinkles. How clever. Did you think that one up all by yourself?

Perrywinkles

Oh, go get stuffed.

I'll gladly vote for anyone but Romney and Huntsman when my state's primary comes around.

Gingrich, Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Paul, Santorum - any of them are acceptable to me.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nope. I’m only responsible for the sobriquets “La Raza Rick” and “Captain Gardasil.” :-)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ron Paul is acceptable to you ?

[Gator113]

What a delightful read for first thing in the morning.

Now if Cain would do the right thing and bail, Romney would be out of the game.

I’ll be voting for Newt.

Actually, it’s classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

[Notary Sojac]

Marginally, but yes.

More and more, I’m half expecting a deadlocked convention that only Sarah Palin can unite after she is drafted.

Let me know when you're into your third trimester!
GO SARAH!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yep. We are going with Newt. He knows how to deal with the DC crowd and how to get things done. I am very impressed with his plan to issue over a 100 executive orders on his first day in office doing away with as much of Obama’s destruction as possible.

[pgkdan]

Actually, it’s classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

No. It's not, but thanks for trying to play.

[Marcella]

I hope Newt’s numbers keep growing. Think he’s the only one who can topple Romney.

[moonhawk]

Sure it is...read CW’s posts on a Newt thread sometime.

Pity Cincinnatus.

When I hear Newt speak, I understand what he says and I think he is a sincere man. If you all remember some of us tried to get him to run LAST TIME against Obama and he had started a business and was heavy into it and decided not to run. My son and I realized at that time that he was a man with GREAT INTELLIGENCE and we sure need it at this time in our country and world.

And by the way, in recent days, I have visited other political threads and to me it seems the same people are posting on those threads and are against that person running, too. It makes me wonder what this criticism of all candidates is all about. And now these same people are on this thread and are against Newt. IT ALMOST MAKES ME LAUGH! I won’t let them bother me one little minute!

La Raza Rick Perry is polling at 3% support among likely voters in New Hampshire.

Get used to it.

[pgkdan]

New Hampshire is IRRELEVANT! They elected Harold Stassen in 1948, Pat Buchanan in 1996, John McCain in 2000! Who cares what NH liberals think about a great conservative like Rick Perry? I wouldn't expect them to appreciate a genuine conservative!

[South40]

Your hero is still polling in single digits; NH was just one example.

Perry is a loser.
Get used to it.
