In quite a few of the recent polls, Newt has been doing very well among independents, better than Romney. Also he consistently is getting a lot of the latino vote as well. There is definitely a great case to be made that he is a greater threat to Obama than Mittens.
So all this talk of “we are dreaming for a Newt candidacy” from the Democrats is just BS intended to throw off the process?
Romney’s campaign will be less exciting, and less combative, than watching paint dry.
The simple fact is that Romney’s national support has a floor of 25% and doesn’t drop below that level . . . and a ceiling of 26% and doesn’t rise above that level. Those who haven’t settled for Romney because he’s inevitable or because it’s his turn are not even willing to consider that big government liberal. Newt, as terrible as he is in many ways is at least not Romney. He may even be the best not-Romney candidate left standing. That’s sad, but it’s the reality we’re stuck with.
That would also include members of the other 1/2 of the "ruling class"; RINO strategists.
I am very leery of the people we have running now. I just wish someone else would come in. Newt has just to much baggage. Romney never could gain traction this time or last.With this crew it should be Obamas to lose. Then again with his popularity rating the same should be about him. I think it may not be tolate for someone else to get in. It may be to late to sign up for the first primariies. But, then again Newt could win them all and implode. God help us and send some one else. Maybe Thune, Portman, Jindol Huckabee, Mcdonnell. We have jsut to many good people not to be able to put up someone good, not t omention this year is just to important.
There you have it! The admission as to why the corrupt MSM has been pushing so hard for Mitt. Once Mitt got nominated they would work feverishly with their Democrat brethren to push Mitt as the quintessential dirty, corrupt Wall Street insider. Wall Street versus Main Street. You can see how they were building all their strategy around a Mitt nomination, from OWS to Obama's ongoing inflammatory class warfare schtick.
Not necessarily a big Newt fan, but you can see they were NOT prepared for Newt and certainly have concerns about him. If he gets the nomination watch for the corrupt MSM to attack him without mercy.
“could disrupt Obama’s electoral college strategy by putting Colorado, Arizona and Nevada in the Republican column.”
someone needs to put the bong down, 0bama has zero chance of winning AZ

"Democrat Stratigist Jim Jordon says he and others in the party "passionately" want to face Gingrich"
then: ""some Democratic strategists worry that the combative Gingrich presents some challenges for the Obama campaign that would not exist if Romney were the GOP candidate....
Well which is it? Which really only means THEY ARE SCARED AS HELL OF NEWT GINGRICH. Put more bluntly, OBAMA is scared.
Gingrich will say something near a live mic by mid-October that will essentially end the race. Pelosi is desperately hoping Gingrich could win it, so she will control the White House.
Hah! The authors couldn’t get through the second sentence of a piece about New Gingrich without using the term “baggage”.
Don’t need to read the rest of the article, just like I never finished any article about Clinton’s impeachment after seeing the word “salacious” appearing therein.
He’s a pasty, pudgy white guy who bleeds an attitude of “I’m smarter than you” out of nearly every pore.
What are they afraid of?
The only candidate vaguely conservative is Bachmann.
Unless she has a comeback, it’s not going to make much difference who wins.
Newt, Obama and Mittens are all statists who are tools of lobby groups.
If either of them are elected it will be four more years of furious dissent at government forcing cr@p down the throat of decent people.
The Washington, DC political machine will simply continue negotiating with itself to take away personal liberty and pile up debt on the backs of citizens who pay taxes.
I’d prefer Obama if I had to choose between those three, because people would stay furious and involved.
If an establishment Republican is in the driver’s seat the disaster will be “Republican’s fault” for decades.
And the establishment Republican will get a bunch of crony legislation passed for a few months, masquerading as something good. After a few months, conservatives will start realizing that their “R” President was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. No serious spending cuts will pass, they’ll merely stop “increases” for a year.
Ron Paul would have a better chance at success because he might actually hack spending down to $2.2 trillion per year.
Electing politicians is spitting in the wind.
If Newt wins the primary that proves that most Republican voters are morons - since he’s spent the last 10 years pushing for government-controlled healthcare and has a website the publicly ackknowledges this fact.
It’s like the mother of all “duh’s”.
Newt is working on implementing “GrinchCare(tm)” - and he has been publicly doing that for 10 years.
An actual conservative would be approaching healthcare by shutting down government involvement in healthcare to the minimum - enforcing quality transparent reporting for outcomes. That’s about it.
IMHO.
I've met with him in his DC office. The place was empty of lobbyists the furnishings threadbare, Dr. Paul still had his Med Student books behind his desk. I recognized several, because I went to Med School to.
Ron Paul was wearing shiney wornout polyester JC Penney slacks and a clip on tie. So, Dr. Paul obviously didn't make lobbyists welcome
