Newt better win Georgia. If he doesn’t it would be as horrible as Romney not winning Michigan. Santorum is going to win Michigan and if Santorum wins Georgia than this is over.
Happy to see Zell Miller back in the political mix — one of the good guys.
Nice. Not sure it will matter much, but it’s good to hear. Go Newt! Go!
FR article - Randy Evans on why Newt Gingrich’s campaign isn’t finished
I just read it. I agree. He is putting everything into Super Tuesday.
Re-read it. Newt plans to go on after super tuesday.
Dream on. Newt is not going to lose GA.
I said he will and better. I never said he would lose. Although if Santorum wins, I won’t cry. lol.
I read that he is going to the convention. What I mean is since Florida he has not done anything except concentrate on Super Tuesday.
He is banking on picking up a considerable amount of delegates in Texas. With Norris and Perry working for him down there now and Perry is obtaining some big bucks for the Lonestar state. I doubt Romney or Santorum will do as well in Texas. Paul may take away some votes there too..ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It is so good to read so much positive Newt news tonight. I hope everyone who supports Newt is sending him some much needed campaign donations. This has to be a grassroots effort, since he won’t get any help from the GOP establishment. Go Newt!
At some point leading up to Georgia, I want to see a very well-attended PR opportunity for Newt. I want to see Zell introduce him with one of his unparalleled red meat, hellfire and brimstone speeches. I’ve missed Zell, and this is the time for him to be widely seen and heard once more.
