I think his summary gets it right: At some point, Team Gingrich believes, voters will grow sick of the negativity and say to Romney, "Enough -- what about you?"
The experiences in SC and FL should show Newt what works, and what doesn't. Now we wait to see if he can return to the "big ideas" and bold conservative approach that have salvaged his candidacy twice before.
Let’s not discount the fact that the FL GOP, especially in the coastal counties, is disproportionately older, and Romney won these big. Why? Because, deep down in their little heart of hearts, these older voters want a guy who’s going to keep ObamaCare pretty much as it is, since they get the goodies bundled up in it.
Newt is showing he has little self control, he allows himself to get sucker punched time and again... then responds in kind. he wasn’t able to rise above it, and he felt compelled to attack Romney’s money, very unrepublican...
people always say they hate negative ads and they always work
Saw a stat on here last evening that said Willard ran 13,000 ads (most, if not all attack ads) vs. Newt’s 200 ads. Hard to fight against a 65 to 1 radio of ad bombardment.
The worst part about this article is the line about Romney’s debate performance being dominating. LOL! He was channeling Gore with his dour looks at the other candidates. Santorum clearly won that debate, not Romney.
Newt is suffering from a typical problem exemplified by the way fouls get called in sports. The original and inciting file is seldom called. But the reaction to the original file almost always gets the whistle.
Romney can pretend innocence as much as he likes by faux-lamenting as he did in the Bloody Thursday debate, “Wouldn’t it be nice if people wouldn’t make attacks that have to be answered in the debates? (paraphrase).
But the reality is, Mitt started it. Newt desperately needs to learn not to react. Until the general, the press will be more than happy to blow the whistle on him and ignore Romney’s fouls. Of course that will change drastically with Mitt’s acceptance speech. At that point his own earth will be scorched—and by pros who will make him look like the amateur that he is.
I wish Gingrich would stick to that approach. When it comes to actual accomplishments that promote the conservative agenda, Romney has very little to show.
York needs to look at the exit numbers which show a huge gap of where the Married Women vote went. I really feel that Newt’s personal history with his marriages hurt him severely although a lot of women may not admit this.
It infuriates me that a rich catalogue cutout can BUY our Presidency.--Guess it shouldn't, since a Southside Chicago thug was programmed and set up as an eloquent, intelligent, handsome peacemaker who would unite the country and make the oceans recede. Enough ignoramuses bought that schtick to put into office the most virulently divisive ideologue in our history, and one who hates this country.--but, Hey! He is Historic! He is the first black man to gain the presidency, right?
Well, that is true, but mainly he is a Trojan Horse or the camel's nose--the detonator who starts to blow up the thngs his friend Ayers only dreamed of blowing up.
vaudine
Santorum’s fault, no doubt. < /sds>
All of the media are explaining the cardboard man’s blow-out win against Gingrich as: (Barf alert) the state of Florida mirrors a real ‘DIVERSE’ voter populace which more reflects most of the 50 states except for a few ‘redneck’ states.
Ohio Sen. Portman says Romney shows electability
By DAN SEWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Ohio’s Republican U.S. senator said Wednesday that Mitt Romney’s Florida win shows he has the diverse appeal needed to win Ohio and the general election.
Rob Portman, from the Cincinnati suburb of Terrace Park, was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” TV show in the aftermath of Romney’s primary victory. Portman endorsed Romney two weeks ago, saying he thinks the former Massachusetts governor is the best Republican candidate to face President Barack Obama, and campaigned for Romney in South Carolina.
“I think at this point, after winning a big diverse state like Florida so convincingly, that Romney’s got the momentum,” said Portman. He said Romney has electability, with appeal to conservatives like himself, and the ability to tackle the nation’s economy.

Newt has to do just about everything perfectly and this includes figuring out a way to deal with the first lady issue.
More votes?
Simple...MONEY and LIES
Byrons wrong.. Willard won by a few points because republican WOMEN voted for him.. its really that simple..
Many republican women THINK they know what went on in Newts marriages when they DON’T... and could care less what a man goes through.. The women is ALWAYS right with some women..
