Newt seemed to be the candidate postioned with the best GOP credentials from among the Republican pack, certainly in a way that should have differentiated him to his benefit, but instead Newt faltered. To those who've been puzzled by his poor showing this article reveals the strategies some of which contributed to his poor showing.

Every candidate has had a rise .... and a fall.

Why should Newt be any different?

South Carolina
Florida

Can’t wait.

I’m convinced these ads are being put out by The Messiah’s people - they don’t know how to run against Gingrich and they fear him.

This isn’t the big game, this is just Iowa, a state full of folks willing to vote for Romney and Paul, making them look like a bunch of inbred idiots.

As Bevis and Butthead used to say, “Iowans are Cornholios.”

Oh yeah, here we go.

Gingrich Hit Hard by Iowa Mailers

A prevailing headline from Iowa has been the decline of Newt Gingrich,

But a poll released Friday showed that Mr. Gingrich has lost more than half of his support.

"NBC News" poll. Yeah, right, it probably did not get out of the NYC area codes.

This is SOP communist agenda donk propaganda to create the atmosphere that all republican candidates are dirt-chewing hillbillies except mittwitt which is ascending to the heavens riding a magic carpet of halos and cherubs.

They know Mittwitt is the ONE jerk that the evil republicans will falter in turning out to vote for because Mitt is nothing but a "D" with a couple of fairly vertical lines on the bottom.

If ANYONE else besides Mittwitt gets the pubbie nomination jug-ears is a goner...

This clown Romney has been stuck on 25 percent since the thing began—and he trashes Gingrich to the benefit of only Paul and Santorum. But he’s too big an a’hole to figure it out. The Repuke insiders have hand-picked him at this point, and we see that he’ll just end up losing to Obama in the end,

Sometimes, a single, sincere, personal request for votes on the final night before election day can mean a lot. Gingrich needs to acknowledge (NOT whine or complain) that he’s been beaten up badly by Romney’s relentless negative campaign. He should even admit that maybe some of it is deserved. “But...” (And this is where Newt claims to be the genuine, believable conservative in the race. He promises he will not let us down. He smiles and humbly asks for our votes.)

Romney has gone negative because he has nothing to lose, and has nothing positive to say about himself that anyone would believe. Romney and the GOP establishment see Romney as this year’s Dole/McCain. They figure the mindless chattering class who starts to pay attention in the last few weeks before any election will shrug and say, “Yeah, okay... What the heck. Romney, I guess,” and vote for him.

The scumbag GOP establishment elite has no interest in promoting or fielding a genuinely exciting candidate - - like Ronald Reagan, for example - - because in the end, those simple animals just want to selfishly go along to get along.

Whatever. Personally, I WILL NOT vote for Romney. NO WAY will I reward the scumbag GOP establishment elite for their complicity in pushing Mittens down the party’s throat. No way. May God strike me dead if I vote for Mittens.
