Beautiful Sarasota, my favorite little city in Florida.

Now that's a HUGE crowd for short notice....WOW AND DOUBLE WOW !!!!

I'll bet our freeper FRiend, Julie, was right there front and center. Waiting for her to report in.

What was it like, Julie? How was the enthusiasm?

Could be but 4,000 in one place is a pretty good indicator they are listening and liking what they hear.

Make his last SOTU speech the worst viewed in the history fo the USA!!!

I am not watching the pretender in chief either. Eating and sleeping are the order of business this evening. I may follow the postings here.

Thank you, CW...I’ve joined into the Gingrich Revolution ..GREAT Crowd!!

[Arrowhead1952]

I think it is 9 eastern.

“LOL. You are aware that this is not a story about Rick Perry, right?”

They’ve been re-assigned. But at least I don’t have to go into attack mode on her threads anymore.

Thanks. NCIS rerun then bed.

[ConfidentConservative]

AWESOME! Glad to have you aboard!

I was going to say the same thing. Her hair is way too stiff and the color needs to be highlighted with some darker tones. It looks very unnatural and harsh.

[RedMDer]

Looks like a TEA Party crowd. WooHoo! Go Newt!

[MEG33]

;o)

I don’t normally comment on appearances, but she really needs to lose the helmet hair. It looks like a plastic wig...

[GVnana]

Holy smokes! He isn’t even nominated yet.

I’d like to see Todd Palin as Grand Marshal. He could bring his wife with and let her drive the pace car. :-)

Now THAT would be a sight to see!

Anne was entertaining and outrageous..I never was a big fan like some here were..She’s turned left.

[RoosterRedux]

Callista needs to soften her look.

O RLY?

(Just kidding...if Newt loves her, that's good enough for me).

[Cobra64]

Callista needs to soften her look...

She's attractive, but she needs to lighten up on the hair spray. I don't think you could crack through her hair with a hammer and cold chisel.

[Twinkie]

A person who has a hairspray habit will not easily give it up and become the windblown waif. It looks a bit anal retentive; but that’s just my opinion. One thing about it, wind and most weather can’t dishevel it. I hate to say it; but isn’t Newt about due for some variety? Perhaps the next one will be more “windblown”; or perhaps Newt’s finally settled down.

Having said that, I will crawl over broken glass to vote for ANYBODY BUT OBAMA. Michelle has taken care of any problem I might have with Callista being First Lady.

Finally, Gingrich argues his big ideas and sweeping oratory would allow him to make inroads with non-traditional Republican voters such as minorities and the poor.
