Newt Gingrich's fluent, policy-rich performances in the early debates, laced with derision for the media's attempts to question the Republican candidates, propelled him to the front of the GOP pack in early December.
His command of the stage here in Myrtle Beach for the 16th (yep, there have been that many, and the next is in Charleston on Thursday) could just be the lifeline he needs to achieve the task he has set himself - overcoming Mitt Romney's clear lead in the South Carolina polls to win the state on Saturday.
Romney was under pressure over releasing his tax returns (he eventually said that he would "probably" do so in April), on why he had not objected as Massachusetts governor to felons on parole having the right to vote and he gave an awkward, fumbling response to a softball about whether he had been hunting since 2007, even mixing up moose and elk.
Gingrich, however, ... scored quite a few points against Romney and the former Speaker's fluency with policy and ability to dissect questions and make a big-picture conservative case against Obama made him the night's big winner.
There were two standing ovations for Gingrich in the hall, where 3,000 Republicans roared, cheered ...
Gingrich said that in the debate room "there was a strong sense that somebody finally just had the courage to tell the truth about how we've got to go about helping people".
"...it's clear if you look at the polls the only conservative who can beat Romney in South Carolina is Newt Gingrich... we have five days to win South Carolina. I think we will win South Cariolina."
A lot of conservatives are queasy about Romney and unconvinced that he could beat the President in November.

Newt is no jerk. He’s the real deal. He’s head and shoulders ahead of Romney, the famous flip-flopper. I don’t know what Romney will do as President. He has changed his position so much he’s scary. So he governed as a liberal in Massachusetts just because it was politically expedient. So, that tells me he has no convictions and just goes along with the majority to secure power. That’s NOT a leader; that’s a typical politician!
“You don’t have to like him to vote for him. ;)”
That is what I would do. LOL
Newt is The Master of jawjitsu!

I just watched it again and found myself clapping.
I feel like a dork. ;^)
LOL!
Or a moose—or was that an elk? Hahahahahaha!
At lelast one media outlet got it right.
There are times in a nations’ history when it finds itself in such dire straights that only a true bastard can pul it’s fat from the fire. See “Winston Churchill.”
I submit to you that Newt Gingrich is such a bastard.
Yes, it's hard for him to perform in front of conservative Republicans
Thank you.
Love it.
That was a Romney flip flop. When a hunter does not know what hes hunting he dangerous.
What am I suppose to shoot??? Yeah hes Presidential material .
Yes, it’s hard for him to perform in front of conservative Republicans
You’ve hit the nail on the head! That’s exactly his problem. Conservatism makes him uncomfortable, he begins to stutter and tries to drive all around the question to eat up time and get back to his memorized conservative talking points.
Uhh.....
That was a cow Mitt.
I had no choice with the headline due to Free Republic policy about posting original headlines.
This is the headline used at the Mail Online.
I agree with you, though. I didn’t like the first part, but I loved the second part and lots of the write-up.
Newt so clearly won last night. Mitt so clearly lost.
And Ron Paul.....there’s something erratic about his voice and face as he talks. Pinched up, weak, whining, begging, hesitant...I can see it, but I can’t find the word to describe it.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Newt is the guy conservatives need to rally around to beat Romney.
I know he’s not as pure as a lot of people would like - he’s not as pure as *I* would like - but then again, YOUR preferred candidates aren’t as pure as I would like either, folks.
All the same, he’s the only candidate competent, aggressive, and knowledgable enough to both take the fight to Obama AND make a case for conservative policies.
Neither Perry nor Santorum have the competence to get the job done.
You mean Juan supporting Newt’s ideas? Or Juan supporting the race card crap he threw at Newt?
Leader one was a vegetarian, decorated war hero, drinks only an occasional beer, does not smoke and has never had an extra martial affair and is physically fit.
Leader two has been voted out of office twice, sleeps until noon, a notorious womanizer as a young man,a mediocre student, alcoholic and obese.
Answer: I would suggest you vote for Leader two. He is Winston Churchill. Leader one is Adolf Hitler.
The point is Newts past transgressions in his personal life are of little importance. I can vote for Newt without any qualms.
