On Florida TV, Newt Gingrich was outgunned 65 to 1 (13,000 Romney TV Ads, vs 200 Gingrich)

Juiced by super PACs, this year’s presidential contest has seen a 1600 percent increase in interest-group sponsored ads over 2008, according to a study by the Wesleyan Media Project of Middletown, Conn.

(SNIP)

That’s a 65:1 ratio. Unless that disparity closed in the final six days, 20 percent might be pretty good for Gingrich tonight

I agree. The man can’t do things last minute. What’s that old saying about poor planning on your part does not equal an emergency on my part?

Pro-Gingrich PAC claims Florida stations are holding up ads

We are fighting a marxist machine, both Dem and Repub.

If Willard ends up as the nominee, it will be his turn to be on the receiving end.

Yep! Live by the words, die by the words.

This is amazing and ironic.

A filthy immoral socialist (Obama) runs for president against the GOP -- and is the catalyst for the Tea Party.

So what does the Establishment GOP do? They try to ram down our throats an equally filthy immoral socialist to represent the GOP -- and to destroy the Tea Party.

Unstinkingbelievable!

Both Obama and Romney view the Tea Party as the enemy here! ROT IN HELL, YOU FILTHY IMMORAL TRAITORS!

Outstanding post! Nothing else to say, but repeat it!

The people will remember this.

If Romney does cheat and buy his way to the nomination, we are absolutely guaranteed another 4 years of Obama.

The GOP-e expects us to get in line. I WILL NOT.

I will not vote for Romney under any circumstances... I will watch our country burn to the ground.

‘There are actually morons in Florida that watch that crap and then decide to VOTE for Romney?’

The sheeple will do whatever the MAGIC TaLKING BOX they stare at, all day long, tells them to do. How much more proof of that do you need, seriously?

It was why Soros was so adamant that Beck be removed from TV.

“I live in Maryland and Newt is running a VERY damaging add about Oromney and his record on abortion.”

That same ad ran in South Carolina. The anti-family part where Mitt says judges should overrule a family’s wishes killed Mitt. It’s a very effective ad and should run in every state.

I hear ads from a “not affiliated with any candidate group” about mittens saying he will always be pro choice and even if the parent / parents disapprove of a minor having the abortion that the child can get approval from a judge or justice. Very telling in mitt's own words. I hope he is erased this election cycle.

Conservatives thought it was great that the Supreme Court opened the cash drawer for contributions. They thought that the establishment sources of big money would drown out Obama and it will. What conservatives overlooked is that the establishment’s money gives them the choice of candidate.

What the Supreme Court did was to kill all chances of a conservative to be elected. The establishment rules because ‘Free $peech’ and the Supreme Court says so.

This is much worse than 2008, we defeated Romney in 2008.

Guess this was the same bunch that vetted Romney’s ads for truthfulnes? I have to believe that Romney’s little corner of Hell will be even hotter for all the lies he has told on his Religious Quest to make our country a Mormon Theocracy.

American Patriots of 2012 ... today in Florida, and across America .... from sea to shining sea .... we stand at the Crossroads of Destiny ...

We have ALEADY won today's "political battle" ... regardless of how the final Florida votes are tallied tonight ...

Why ?

Because as in "Lord of the Rings" ... the call to battle and Honor and Glory have (indeed) been answered ... from Patriots across this great land we call "America" ...

A gallant Call to Arms ... to Liberty, to preserve the Land that John Paul Jones defended as he cried-out "We Have Not Yet Begun to Fight" ...

Henry V ... in his St. Crispin's day Speech ... stood on the same kind of earth we see today ...

To the Ann Coulters, and her traitorous breed ... the Nikki Haleys, Mark Steyns, Bob Doles, Chris Christies ....

We "American Patriots" respond with:

"The (Traitor's) passport shall be made, and crowns for convoy put into their purse ...

"We would not die in their company whose fellowship they fear to die with us" ...



Let's us resolve ... this day ... to WIN the BATTLE for America's Renaissance of Liberty, Prosperity ... and Discovery to the Stars created by The Almighty ...



God Bless America !

Reagan found a way around them. But their grip is tighter than ever. Still, Newt is a fighter.

Obama bought the presidency with Soros money and a couple of catch phrases. Oh! And the race card.

Does this include the Adelson-funded Newt PAC? I’m sure they ran thousands of ads. Romney is going to win by 15% tonight. They just said on my local news that 600,000 people voted early, and they favored Mittens 51 - 29%. Staggering.
