New Poll: Gingrich Attack Ads Against Romney Working in SC
National Review - The Corner ^ | 1-12-2012 | Maggie Gallagher

Posted on 01/12/2012 8:14:11 PM PST by TitansAFC

Instead of getting a bounce, Romney’s poll numbers are sinking in South Carolina. As I suggested, this ad attack is powerful. He’s followed it up by painting him as governing pro-abortion. Krauthammer is right — Romney’s got to show he can respond.

If these attacks work in a Republican primary, imagine how effective Obama will find them in November.

BTW, no signs yet that the negative ads are hurting Gingrich, either.

Romney appointed liberal judges, supported Planned Parenthood, supported liberal gun laws, and state financed abortions.

Don't forget that he raised taxes.

Bain Capitol is the least of his problems.

What should be talked about with regard to Bain is the government subsidy they got. IOW, Gov. Romney's company did what they did at least partially on our money.

Val and Plouffe are doing the happy dance as we speak

If that's the case then Mitt Romney has no business winning the nomination. What say you?

Considering the fact that Romney is a closet Democrat, Gingrich is not violating Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

” - - - Krauthammer is right — Romney’s got to show he can respond.”

This points out a problem that Willy Rom needs to clarify: “Can a white-glove delegator, such as Romney, bear to take off his white gloves and help his delegated mud slingers sling mud?” ( How much mud could a Romney sling, if a Romney could sling mud?)

Fast forward to Romney negotiating over the Red Phone———, yeah he had better take off those white gloves yesterday!

BTW, the answer to the second question is: “About as much mud as a Romney could, if a Romney could sling mud.”

Amen to that

Mountain Mary, we are choosing someone to run against Obama.

Whoever wins will be attacked by both Obama and the media.

Let’s sift through the dirt now and find the cleanest guy.

Not at all. Keep track of the delegate count. Romney has won a flaky Iowa and NH vote. The real tests begin.

Bingo. Bain intentionally underfunded the pension funds, while taking millions out in “management fees” and left the taxpayers holding the bag.

Can’t get enough of Newt news. He’s either black listed or it’s negative. Look at the Newt thread hits!

Please add me to your ping list.

“The poll quoted in the article is pretty suspect and not well known.”

The InsiderAdvantage Poll nailed Iowa.

Ha! Good one. I hope the ads do work and I hope Newt keeps at it.

He’s not my favorite, but I want him in reserve.

weight till the Newt and Nancy global warming commercials pop up

Been there done that. Newt has been vetted. Now it's your candidate's turn to be vetted.

“Amen! They weren’t complaining when lies were told about Newt in Iowa, but all of a sudden the whining about attack ads is becoming a crescendo.”

Exactly. Now that Newt has gone on the attack all we hear is the whining from the RINOs. They can go to hell as far as I am concerned. GO NEWT!

To add to my above post, when it was Newt being attacked it was man up Newt, you have to be able to take it if you want to be President. Now that it is Mitt under attack all we hear is the whining and how unfair it is. Go to hell RINOs.

” We need to see some more reputable polls out of SC that are recent. “ <<<

This is a sign. It means Newt is doing more than fine.

Note the lack of hype over South Carolina.

As compared to the northern more liberal states with there 11 little delegates, they do not want it covered, or otherwise known, but by a whisper. No news, in this case, is good news.

Exactly, the GOP E and RINOs can KMA.

“Mountain Mary, we are choosing someone to run against Obama”

I don’t know about you but because I live in Wisconsin, I’m not one of the “we” who is choosing the nominee. And it really doesn’t matter who I want to be the cleanest guy to surface after sifting through the dirt.

The voters of SC and Fla. will be doing that and the results are looking more and more like that will be Romney.

Even if Newt does well in SC, he doesn’t have the money or the organization that Mitt does in Fla.
The Romney team has been blitzing the Sunshine state with materials and volunteers for months..or longer.
