How difficult will Florida be if Newt wins SC?

Good chance?

“Gingrich led by 14 points in about 700 interviews conducted on Friday night”

Wow, IF Newt wins SC by 14, he wins FL by 7, imho.

I think EVERY -except maybe one- SC winner (since they’ve gone first in the South) has won FL.

(AND of course, EVERY SC winner has been our nominee since that time.)

Go Newt!

Fact is...we are sick and tired of the liberal media nominating our candidates for us...Romney=Dukakis...I’m for Newt, warts and all.

Yeah, between the liberal MSM and the Republican Establishment shoving Romney, McCain, Dole, and Bush Sr down our thoats, this truly is a war.

One thing, I’ve noticed over the years is, except for Bush Jr, EVERY candidate I like, the Establishment hates and smears 24/7 with a passion.

I think that’s a good thing.

For the first time since Reagan we have a candidate who has the potential to properly articulate conservative values and represent them properly in presiding over the nation. I'm supporting Newt as a proven leader who can explain and promote conservative values while pursuing them vigorously with congress.

And it would be no small amount of joy to watch Newt verbally eviscerate Obama for the next 10 months.

Newt is going to be speaking in my hometown 9:00 AM Thursday. I have to admit I would be in line at 4:00 AM if it were Sarah Palin. I am considering going though because it does not happen everyday that you get to meet a future President.

There’s an ad running in SC, where Romney, in his own words, comes out for abortion and he attacks families. That ad is killing Romney in pro-family values SC.

I had Romney down for a third place finish, but Santorum isn’t doing as well as I expected. I expected him to finish #2. Oh, well.

I do think, though, that Newt will get 40% of the SC vote and easily win SC.

This really did happen...

A few minutes ago a about 7:45 a violent storm roared passed my house here in SE TN..

Extreme winds, lightning, thunder, very loud..

There are probably tornadoes not far away..

the first voters in SC must have answered that they voted for Newt when asked by the pollsters..

Willie Mitty is blowin mad ...

It was a freak storm..

its blown over for now

just a lot of thunder around the hills..
