PRINCETON, NJ -- After enjoying 14- to 15-percentage-point leads over Mitt Romney in early December, Newt Gingrich is now statistically tied with Romney in national Republican preferences for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination: 26% for Gingrich vs. 24% for Romney. This follows a steady decline in support for Gingrich in the past 10 days.

The liberals, communists, and RINO Republicans do not want Newt to be President. He threatens their corruption.

Ann Coulter is right about Newt talking a good game and then not delivering and just kicking the action plan to the curb but her alternative, Romney, is where I differ with her.

If this poll is accurate, a good many FReepers should be able to finally celebrate. All of that hard work to help Romney bring his numbers up and push Newts down, might being paying off for these so called conservatives. With just a bit more work, these FReepers might actually be able to help put Romney over the top and bring us another 4 fricking years of Obama. Party on folks... be proud of the fruits of your labor. Obama, the libs and the republican establishment have got to be laughing their a$$es off... GO NEWT GO.....

they're both lib Rinos

I agree with that. It does bother me at times like this to see people I respect miss the full picture too. Here I think Ann clearly is. Romney is no fall back position here. Good grief.

Onyx.... it sure seems that somebody left the lid off of the nut jar.

Some of these folks would have nothing to say if they didn’t lie.

I am a conservative but I do not like Newt. He is an “unclean” version of Romney (see Fannie Mae, etc.).

This only demonstrates you are a no-nothing nit-wit. Newt worked for Freddie Mac, not Fannie Mae.

That's not his record at all. As fas actually doing positive things in Washington, not a single candidate running can match his accomplishments no matter how much Santorum whines "me, me, me it was all me."
