At this point in the race, with Cain and Perry out, and with Romney being a pro-abortion Liberal, I have to throw my support behind Gingrich.

Beck’s been doing everything he can to discredit Gingrich as a progressive, and that’s not completely off-base, but Gingrich knows history, he knows what this country stood for, and he’ll wipe the floor with Obama in debates.

I think the Democrats are literally soiling themselves at the thought of Gingrich against Obama, hence the smear pieces coming out of ABC and other outlets. If Bubba can get a hummer in the west wing with little more than a wave-off from the public, I don’t see how Gingrich’s philandering is going to ding him except in the eyes of social and religious conservatives.

I don't think Romney can withstand the attack from the Obama and his media ...already ABC is running a story about Romney having millions parked in Cayman Islands.

he is part of the 1 % that Obama has been talking about!

He is not the Debater that Gingrich is...

And we must get Obama out of the White House.

I agree with you 100%, Ernest. Romney is the next McCain if he’s elected. I feel Gingrich will roll away with a win in SC and will likely take Florida as well. Being a Floridian, I don’t know many who would vote for Romney.

Romney appears to be polling well in Florida. We have our work cut out for us and the work doesn't end in Florida. I don't see Romney dropping out like Huntsman or Perry.

You have to consider the sources, RC. Watch those numbers very carefully after Saturday, as I believe Floridians, as fickle as we can be, want a winner, and Mitt’s not it!

Mark my words, Gingrich takes Florida by at least 5 pts.

I hope so, we need a decisive victory in order to bring this ugly primary fight to an end. I’m thinking we need santorum to stay in the fight indefinitely though. His evangelical supporters have indicated a willingness to support Romney over Gingrich. He needs to be mitigated, not eliminated.

“Beck’s been doing everything he can to discredit Gingrich”

...with nothing said about Romney being an absolute RINO progressive.

Sorry to say...Beck got dreamy about having a mormon in the WH.

...On to Florida

I can’t grok any reason other than the Mormon connection that Beck would have wanted Mitt in the White House. You’d think Beck is far to the right of Mitt, with several other candidates in between. But those others are Catholics, Baptists... you know, those kind of infidels!

With any luck/providence, Gingrich will grow.

He’s becoming the “Obama’s worst nightmare” that Perry only aspired to be. You really almost need such a colossal self confidence to laugh off the dirtiest digs of the Democrats. And is Newt’s ego really that huge? He backed off of globull warming at a sensible time. He’s not one of those chumps who refuses to ever learn from the real world.

Romney has no chance of beating Obama. He will not take Obama on and will present no alternative. He will lose. Gingrich isn’t much better but at least he can argue his points instead of caving to the media narrative and political correctness that has sheltered Obama in his first run and again today. We see the attacks against Gingrich’s personal life but nothing about Obama’s past or present. The story run shortly before the election about reggie and obama was quickly shelved. Personally, I do not care about Gingrich’s personal life. I would vote for anyone except Obama. In the meantime, I hope to ensure that the candidate most likely to beat Obama is our nominee. No one calls Obama on anything he does because of a liberal slant in the media and the ever present racism card which is played incessantly. Hopefully Gingrich wins the nomination and effectively attacks Obama on his record and whatever else Obama tries to put into play.

While it would be fun to watch. Obama won’t give him the chance.

I’m not all that excited about whats left to vote for. But I can live with Newt. I’ll even $upport him.

Mittens can kiss my butt.

Don’t be sorry! Beck’s going to shill for “his people,” even if that means putting a sadsack RINO in the WH.

The only difference between John King and Axelrod is who pays them, otherwise they are both on the same reelection campaign...
