Feisty Newt Rocks The Ham House

A feisty Newt Gingrich came out swinging against Romney, opening his remarks with: "I have a question: Where's Mitt?" to cheers from the audience here at Tommy's Country Ham House.

He added that he'd been looking forward to a debate with his opponent.

"in the very near future we hope you'll see the light," he said to the Romney supporters holding up signs around him.

Gingrich boiled his closing argument down to one sentence: " Just remember, I am the only conservative who has the opportunity to defeat a Massachusetts moderate."

To that end, he highlighted his own roots in Georgia, swiping at Romney saying "I don't think they serve New England clam chowder here."

************************************************

The Romney-Gingrich Ham House showdown that wasn't

Romney arrived - and left - early, before the 10:45 a.m. time their campaigns had both initially set
Romney arrived early, essentially blinking in the scheduling face off. He climbed on top of a table to talk to the packed room.

People shouted "mic" because he couldn't be heard. The problem? The audio equipment set up for the event is Newt's

Romney proves he is a chickensh+t over the Ham House fiasco. I am sure Rick would not have backed away from it with Gingrich. That Mitt, what a work of art. Now he is spinning more garbage for the assembled mass media. If he is somehow denied the first place, it will be a delight in and of itself just to see the looks on Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, Lindsay Graham, John McCain Jeb Bush, Nikki Haley, Bay Buchanan, Peggy Noonan, (and now John Bolton—big disappointment) all these peoples’ faces over Romney slipping away from his coronation by the elite and having to fight for every inch of it. My next guess? The elite RINO establishment tries to keep Paul and Santorum out of remaining debates for some reason. We will see. We will see. I also do wonder what poor Meghan McCain is going to do. Guess she will be a early starter of “Republicans for Obama” Group that will no doubt emerge and say the Republican party has been hijacked by Goldwater extremists, regardless of whether Rick or Gingrich gets the nomination. I cannot STAND these RINOs.
