It’s the John King Effect. Standing O’s count a lot.
This possibility is even more surprising since there still are two conservatives splitting the vote plus Paul in the mix. Maybe Paul is taking some Romney votes. If, so thank goodness.
Teehee...
Mittens and Neut, A pair of liberal a$$holes. One a tree hugging amoral opportunist, and the other a liberal Democrat with an R. after his name instead of a D. I can’t decide which is worse. Still, either one would be marginally better than that human shaped piece of fecal matter currently contaminating the white house.
The Democrats are praying for the Republican nomination process to continue indefinitely and unresolved? The Party is very divided on the candidates and there is no other solution.
I sure hope Newt wins. We need to stop Mitt is South Carolina. If we don’t it will get harder to stop Mitt. We need a Conservative in the White House not a status quo man like Mitt. GO NEWT GO!
“Romney adviser: We could lose South Carolina”.
Translation:
“We ARE expecting to lose in South Carolina”.
Could? Likely.
>Managing expectations...
Precisely. If they lose, they already said they might, if they win, they slayed the dragon. Smart move actually.
The polls had Nittwit up as high as 40% don’t tell me they weren’t playing with the numbers. Now when we are a day away, well jee, they had to bring it closer to the truth.
What really put Newt Gingrich over the top was his ability to knock it out of the park even with their attempt to block him from speaking in the debates.
GOOOOOOOOO Newt!
There, fixed it for you Stuart Stevens.
Romney had two chances for a knockout blow in South Carolina. He blew both of them IMHO!!! He whimped out, and failed to defend his tenure time at Bain, Inc. and floundered around in explaining his tax return release dates. Those are not fatal, to his pursuit, other then to reveal indecision and spin, bad traits for a POTUS at best!!!
The death blow has come simply because he is not forceful enough in responding effectively to his rival critics and he is simply not proactive at tearing the political heart and soul out of POTUS Barack Hussein Obama with gusto and determination!!! I fear, if Romney is nominated, he will be the whimp that John McCain was in the manner he campaigned against Obama, when he knew the America destruction dogma of Obama and his destroy America motivated Democrat Party!!!
The Republicans better wise up and take some hints from former war heroes, George Patton and Bill Halsley who basically subscribed to simply destroying the enemy by killing them in war. Killing in politics is not harmful to anything, other then bruised feelings and political failure which is exactly what Obama and his Democrat Party deserve!!! Treating the destroyers of America as the enemy of freedom, liberty and opportunity, is no vice and should be pursued with the gusto of winning the political war, taking no prisoners and sending defeated Democrats into the contaminated cesspool where they all so rightfully belong!!!
Wake up, Republicans. Being nice and proper to the “dirt bag” Democrats led by Barack Hussein “Muslim Brotherhood” Obama is a 100% waste of time, and....will lead to the downfall of this great republic!!! What to do??? Destroy Obama and the Democrat Party politically and send them into the wilderness for the next hundred years or so!!! Newt Gingrich has shown the path to political victory, but....all Republican candidates should not give Obama and his ilk a minute to relax. They must be aggressively attacked at every opportunity. Why? we are fighting for the life of our nation, that they are so ardently trying to destroy!!!
Daddy...Daddy...Help me.
That's where a record comes in. Not just the record of votes, which is often a meaningless toll of positions taken for political reasons on bills that were always going to pass or were never going to pass, but a record of actions taken that actually mattered.
A record of actions taken that actually mattered. Newt is the man who fits that description to a "T".
He can identify what is most important to the country, develop a plan to overcome that challenge, articulate the the merits of overcoming the challenge and why the plan will work.
I hadn't been for Gingrich initially and spent plenty of energy excoriating him, these last several years, for any number of sins he committed against the Republican/Conservative ideals. He seemed a turncoat of sorts, particularly when he babysat Pelosi on the couch.
On reflection, Newt is an attention whore seeking relevancy for his ideas and I guess I take him at his word that he made a few mistakes in his life and he has at least some regret for those decisions. God knows I am no angel and so I have to reflect on the man's ability to get things done.
Newt gave us the Republican majority, the Contract with America and completed 2/3rds of his agenda while in office.
He now has a new plan for America and with what is likely to become a Congressional Super Majority and a Senate Majority, if not Super Majority, I believe he will absolutely accomplish his agenda.
Say goodbye to ObamaCare the single biggest scam and travesty foisted upon a free people who, by right, ought to have been given the opportunity to read the bill and debate it. Instead, a win at all cost, cheating agenda was developed and it was signed with most people never laying eyes on at least page 2 of this utopian dreck.
Executive Orders Positions:
The following are all within the executive powers to simply order and with the exception of securing the border within one year, they are all easily accomplished with the stroke of a pen and no way to challenge them in the legislature.
Keystone may be challenged in the courts but I think the Executive can order the EPA to approve, under National Security Priorities and it is a National Security issue, as well, a jobs issue.
As President, Newt, could actually have a very busy 1st week or month just on these initiative alone.
1. Eliminate the thirty-nine White House "Czar" positions created during the current administration. The president does not have the authority to appoint bureaucrats to power who are not accountable to the Congress.
2. "Mexico City Policy" of Respect for Life. Reauthorize President Ronald Reagan’s policy – also known as the "Mexico City Policy"— to stop tax payer dollars from being used to fund or promote abortions in foreign countries.
3. Restore conscience clause protections for Healthcare Workers.No American working in a medical environment should be forced to perform any procedure that he or she finds morally or ethically objectionable based on religious teaching. This protection should include, but not be limited to abortion. Existing conscience clause protections need to be strengthened.
4. Respect Each Sovereign Nation’s Choice of its Capital. Each sovereign nation, under international law and custom, may designate its own Capital. Accordingly, the U.S. State Department should be instructed to respect the choice of each sovereign nation and place the American embassy in their Capital. (Israel is the only country the United States discriminates against in this regard. The people of Israel have designated Jerusalem as their capital. Yet the United States retains its embassy in Tel Aviv.)
5. End the Attorney General's Assault on the States. Instruct the Attorney General to withdraw all immigration-related lawsuits against states immediately, including those pending in Arizona and South Carolina. The Obama Administration refuses to enforce federal immigration laws, and instead sues states who are merely trying to enforce the laws that the federal government neglects. The Gingrich Administration will secure the border by Jan. 1, 2014 by any means necessary.
Unleash American Energy by Approving the Keystone XL Pipeline. Instruct the State Department to approve a Presidential Permit immediately for the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that will send 700,000 barrels of oil a day from Great Plains and Southwestern states to Gulf Coast refineries lower staggering energy prices, and create up to 120,000 American jobs.
Now we get into the details of an inclusive agenda that brings the people(you and me), through their representatives, into process. The TEA Party and conservatives are going to have a majority in both houses.
Let’s elect an Executive who will absolutely fulfill the promise of our ideals.
Newt gave us the three most important victories of the 90’s Welfare Reform, Balanced Budget and Reduced Taxes. I hope I don’t need to describe the benefits of those victories. They ought to be obvious to everyone by now.
Lastly, there have been some reports that Newt shouldn’t get all the credit. Really? Then perhaps we marginalize the accomplishments of Washington, Roosevelt, Kennedy and ….wait for it… Reagan.
Do we really want to go down the road with that kind of adolescent sophistry and parsing of what happened?
Newt is the guy who thought of these big things, proposed them and shepherded their implementation?
Newt has once again identified what is important to us now, at this time and described how we can get there with our representative majorities. He has done it before and I declare Newt Gingrich was then and is Now a leader.
We should elect Newt Gingrich to the Presidency of the United States
Romney mostly repeated Newt's comments.
Newt answers to no one. Romney answers to the establishment.
Romney is a nice guy though he is not showing he can even win this now. The establishment ( the blue bloods-the elites, those who look down on us regular citizens as hicks; they are truly, like I posted days ago, are on suicide watch->they fear the conservative agenda is coming to D.C.-we must admit that the moderate libs/dems/repubs are grounded into the GOP now-which they control now -those groups will do anything to stop Newt-I say those fractions were in the bed with Newt's wife to try to take him down in SC) They are talking brokered convention, I would agree that's not a rumor. They are afraid Mitt can't win and we know what they think of Newt. I say Palin had at one time thought of a brokered convention ( I had those thoughts too for a floor fight) until Newt took off so there's hope to stop Mitt. Who wanted Romneycare Mitt. I think Newt of the candidates we have is the floor fight for us. Who will be their guy for the insiders, people like Rove? This push back from the insiders will make Newt even stronger. I am sending more donations and offering my time to him. This is a perfect example of the elites picking the candidate that they want.
""Do I think we could lose South Carolina? Sure. Of course,"
Some might even say that it's... "inevitable".
And Mitt, you will have earned the loss!
You don’t know how to fight.
You are the preppy in the alley trying to take on the Chicago machine.
They don’t play by your rules and you’d get your butt kicked.
We need bare knuckles Newt to fight this battle.
hmmm...my new tag line?
If he loses South Carolina, he should drop out. He will then have lost two of the first three primaries/caucuses.
