can this possibly be real?

[TBBT]

There should probably be a “WOW!” in there somewhere...

[TBBT]

Sure why not? He was at 47 and 41 in two polls released yesterday...

[Sans-Culotte]

Wow. Myth just cannot seem to generate any love.

[tcrlaf]

“can this possibly be real?”

The undecideds are deciding.

[M. Thatcher]

I think this is a wonderful two-step strategy. 1) Newt knocks out Mitt. 2) Newt knocks out Newt.

[Signalman]

If this is correct, then I think the game may be over.

Last night, on Hannity, one thing Newt said that I really liked was that if he is the nominee, he’s going to focus on Obama’s ties to leftist radicals like Bill Ayers, Alinsky, and others, and his appointments of lefty loonies to high positions in the govt. (Labor Secty Hilda Solis and Van Jones are a few examples that come to mind).

This is something John McLame stayed away from during the last election, and something I haven’t heard the other current candidates address.

But...but...but...I thought Mitt was the frontrunner? /s

[Mechanicos]

More Push polls, Yawn

[scooby321]

I am afraid Ron Paul is all in and might run as a third party.

[magritte]

Regardless of who you are pulling for, this is an incredible turnaround...

[skaterboy]

A RINO BEATING A RINO..wooo hoo....we are in high cotton

[skaterboy]

In 2008 he said the ayers stuff was a distraction but now he wants to talk about it ya dont look for it in the general

[ScottinVA]

Looks like the merry-go-round is coming to a stop and people are starting to firm up. No one has had this kind of lead this far.

[goseminoles]

Who the hell is Buddy Roemer? ???

[ScottinVA]

I`m not as worried about Paul going indie as with Trump. That self-serving POS may go third-party to ensure Obama wins if he`s offered a juicy enough deal.

I hope Newt makes those ties, but he also has to realize his strength is his intellect. Point out Zero’s ties and flaws, but don’t consume the campaign with negative ads.
