In a perfect instantiation of green conservatism, the Gingrich campaign has been fuelling a bandwagon entirely on Newt's hot air. It is nearly midnight, however, and therefore almost time for that bandwagon to turn back into a pumpkin (or rather, lemon), which will leave those conservatives who are a little too focused on the manufactured issue of "electability," and who had almost been persuaded to hold their noses and vote for Gingrich, to return to the drawing board in search of someone who can defeat President Obama. They will (and should) ultimately decide that the answer to their quest was standing before them all along, and that it requires no theoretical compromise after all. The answer is to support a genuine and unequivocal conservative, Michele Bachmann.
For while many of the Republican candidates might be able to defeat the disaster that is Obama, Bachmann would be able to do it in a manner most satisfying for conservatives, namely one which draws attention specifically to the nexus between constitutionalism and the moral tradition of American-style individualism.

Yes, and newt just said it was a four person race and that anyone of them can win, He said if you included santorum it would be a five man race. No one has voted yet???? He excluded crazy Paul.
If you have to say “I’m a serious candidate”, then you’re not.
Yes, the first act of an amnesty board would be to schedule a convention and then decide what their retirement package would be. More big government, more big government.
Newt has been running multiple businesses for over a decade.
She can drop out and endorse Newt so that the ONLY GOP candidate who can take out Mitty wins the nomination and then defeats 0bama.
At NRO, there's a poll regarding last night's debate. It's more of a referendum on the entire primary ... 9,600+ votes
Bachmann 7 %
Gingrich 25 %
Huntsman 2 %
Paul 27 % (really?!)
Perry 7 %
Romney 28 %
Santorum 4%
Paul is abnormal. Like it or not, this race is between Newt and Mitt. If conservatives want to defeat 0bama, Newt is the remaining candidate to do so.
“MB=toast w/fake eyelashes”
Yes, Bachmann is toast and has been for a very long time, but those were not “fake eyelashes”.
Those things were Paul’s eyebrows. ;>)
