The Liberal News-Media (now joined by their The Usual E-RINO Suspects) will suffer an "epic fail" ...
as they DESPERATELY try to force a "faux disqualification" for Newt Gingrich in the upcoming Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary.
I'm confident that Newt Gingrich will "decimate" Mitt Romney and Dr. Winkie (Ron Paul) in South Carolina and Florida ...
======================================
How many successful POTUS candidates have ever won the Iowa Caucus ?
In the last thirty-two (32) years ... only ONE Democrat (Obama in 2008) and ONE Republican (Bush-43 in 2000) have won BOTH the Iowa Caucus and the Presidential Election ...
Of course, that doesn't include "sitting" Presidents (Reagan, Clinton) who won Iowas on their way to a second term election ...
That presents odds of TWO (2) Iowa Caucus wins out of SIXTEEN (16) possible Presidential Election Candidates !
Equivalent to a Whopping twelve-point-five (12.5) percent success rate ...
How many successful POTUS candidates have ever won the New Hampshire Primary ?
In the last thirty-two (32) years ... only ONE Democrat (Carter in 1976) and TWO Republicans (Reagan-1980 and Bush-41 in 1988) have won BOTH the New Hampshire Primary and the Presidential Election ...
Of course, that doesn't include "sitting" Presidents (Reagan, Clinton) who won New Hampshire on their way to a second term election ...
That presents odds of THREE (3) New Hampshire wins out of FIFTEEN (15) possible Presidential Election Candidates !
Equivalent to a Whopping thirteen-three-three (13.33) percent success rate ...

Bill Clinton in ‘92 is the only nominee that lost both IA and NH that I can see, Harkin, a local, took IA and Tsongas, a local took NH. Looks like Newt may need to repeat that dynamic. I remember Clinton did proclaim himself the comeback kid for finishing 2nd in NH.
