Other will soon leapfrog Santorum.
BS. Fox News is predicting a second or third place in NH for Santorum. IF that happens, he really is a contender. I mean he basically won Iowa. So he has proof that people will vote for him. The only other person is Romney who believes he won Iowa but that has been disputed. I am trying to find information on Newt’s wins or Perry’s wins, but can’t seem to find anything at all.
Oh ez you are back again. Welcome! Good luck tonight. Newt is losing some support in NH because of his stupid foot in mouth again. He took Romney’s comments and went hog wild stretching the words to the limits. Santorum understood what Romney meant and decided to be the adult in the room. I think people like mature acting folks like Santorum.
This has to become a two man race. Romney vs. the anti-Romney. Bachmann’s 6% has been evenly distributed amongst the anti-Romney. Perry, who has a great record, needs to drop out. I don’t see how Santorum stays in unless he gets a serious infusion of cash. I see this as coming down to between Newt and Romney with Newt winning and Santorum beeing his VP.
Iowa suggests otherwise. If he had no fight, why was it Newt who said, “I didn’t really care about Iowa anyways”, when it was Santorum who WON after everyone wrote him off.
He really won in Iowa y’know ;)
“Newt should have been doing this from day one.”
You sure seem invested in blaming Newt for the elitist, entitled GOP problems. The Corrupt Bastards in the Grand Old Potty salute you.
It’s the truth!
Newt should have been doing this since day one.
Looks like Santorum and Gingrich are going to finish in a tie for fourth in NH. That leaves Santorum as the front running conseravtive pending SC, which will be Newt’s waterloo. People are not reacting well to Newt’s strategy today. I think he might be toast, and we might both be Santorum fans by next week.
I swear, though, if it comes down to it, I will choose Paul over Romney.
PS I expect tomorrow to hear a lot of “Newt, and the Ricks need to get out of the race and let Huntsman take on Romney” It looks like Huntsman could nab 2nd.
I like Santorum, but that being said, he can’t get out quick enough. If you’re a Newt supporter, he can’t run out of money or he’s finished. We’re going to have to wait out Santorum and keep the eye on the ball. This isn’t going to be easy.
Sure, if Palin or the Tea Party endorse Santorum, then Newt would be toast. The conservative vote here is what’s up for grabs. But I don’t see serious political forces getting behind Santorum, only Sunday preacher type of leaders.
I really doubt Santorum will beat Newt in NH. It’s the most anti-religious state we’ve got and Santorum is the Sunday preacher’s poster boy candidate. The bloom is fading off of Santorum’s rose in general. He benefitted from an incredibly lucky alignment of the stars in IA that can’t really be repeated.
The coalition of anti-Romney campaigns are just kicking in. If Romney’s trajectory goes downward all the way through FL, then even if he ekes out a win in SC and FL, he could still be beaten. Newt is the only one of the conservative choices getting solid cash infusions with I believe a commitment for $15 million more from his Vegas buddy. If the race gets drawn out, he can last longer than Santorum.
Hi, sun. Thanks for the ping. Obama must be defeated.
Newt acted like a pig; a progressive one at that. His statements this week about populism and “fairness” were revealing. When Newt gets ugly, his brain doesn’t help him one bit.
Newt can’t beat Obama let alone other republicans. To me, he’s disgusting to someone like me who voted for McCain cuz that was all they had and Newt has no chance of winning over any Obama voters or getting people to the polls who need a little nudge. Just sayin’.
Makes me laugh. Todd Palin is a pundit now? I thought he was a snow machine racer. Losing to Obama once has really hurt Floridians. Losing to him again would be the last stage of the transformation of America just like Michele Obama told us underlings.
I think you will see Newt’s numbers plummet in the next FL poll w/Romney’s win in NH. Folks are getting tired of all the negative campaigning and just want to start campaigning for Anyone But Obama.
I just don’t see Newt winning FL. McCollum endorsement really hurts more than helps. Tea Party Fav Gov. Rick Scott won’t endorse anyone but will campaign hard for the Nominee .
Rush has huge influence on Floridian conservatives and he roasted and toasted Newt today. Newt is history.
