This is good news for Newt, who yesterday Rasmussen had beating Obama head to head nationally 45% to 43%.

Newt can take Romney in the Primary-—but he will have to struggle mightily to win the general.

[wolfman23601]

I’m not a Newt fan, but the silver lining is that they won’t be able to paint our candidate as stupid this time. It has been 40 years since we’ve had a nominee that isn’t “stupid”.

[Nachoman]

I could live with Newt as the nominee. I just worry that the way he has been savaged by the media, his brand might to too damaged to carry the general election.

[Mr. K]

newt may not be perfect but at the end of the primaries would I be happy if Romney won?

NO~!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would I be happy if Newt won? ...yeah, I think so

[IrishPennant]

I’m sure someone on the left will announce he was born in Kenya any day now and it will be over. Or maybe that his father was not a US Citizen. Or he hung out with domestic terrorists from the 60’s or collective salvation preachers in the urban cities. We all know how fast the media picks up on this type of thing.

[preacher]

There is a story going around that Newt Gingrich served his wife divorce papers while she was in the hospital dying of cancer. Here is an article debunking that, written by Newt’s daughter.

Crazy.

Hope you can pull it off, Newt.

[JudgemAll]

Newt is the most hated politician in America, even more so than Bush. That he pulls so much pass Zero and Mitt tells a lot.

[TitansAFC]

The “Newt Gingrich for President” ping list!

If you want ON or OFF of the ping list, just let me know!

Rasmussen has Newt smoking Mitt!!!!!

[Wizdum]

As I have said to other Romney fans....If Mitt's message was resounding through the party, his numbers would be in the 40's. They are not and the mainstream GOP and conservative is looking for someone who is not Obama-lite.

For too long we have been stuck with the next 'lady-in-waiting' by the GOP elites.

GHWB - disaster of a term loses to Clinton. Dole was promised the next nomination. We lost, again.

Bush and McCain vie for 'after Clinton'. Bush 'wins' as McClain steps aside to wait his turn.

McClain runs against Obama. Mitt steps aside to become the next 'lady-in-waiting'. Mac loses. BIG.

This continuing disaster of candidates has to end with someone WE can get behind, not the next also-ran.

[Mariner]

If this is between Newt and Romney, I'll vote for Newt.

And I'll stop off on the way home, pick up a bottle of Jamesons...go home, puke, take a shower, drink the whiskey and hope for the best.

In the general it will be easy to vote for Newt over Obama.

[Gator113]

Amazing numbers.

President Newt Gingrich.... it’s going to happen.

I’m thinking that today, Rove has flu like symptoms. I hope he’s out of TP.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Anybody but the Cultist Romney.

[org.whodat]

Simply do not believe it, a poll so far out, is normally wrong.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Anybody but the Cultist Romney.

[xzins]

This race is now over.

Conservatives need to get behind Gingrich. The not-Gingrich numbers add to only 48 and you know he’ll take half of all defections and withdrawal of candidates now that he’s the front runner. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some soon reversals on endorsements of some of the other candidates.

Gingrich 38 is only 12 points from the magical 50% that guarantees a victory with 7 other candidates.

Based on this poll, Cain, Paul, Perry, Santorum, Bachman, and Huntsman should drop out for the good of the nation.

[Cato in PA]

I guess the Cain Train has finally been derailed by the media’s drummed-up “scandals.” Sad. I was looking forward to voting for a candidate with moral integrity.

Newt’s past disgusts me almost as much as Romney’s, but after giving it some thought, I think I could hold my nose and vote for President Gingrich. He’s a despicable RINO, but I’ll take that over Socialist R or Socialist D.
