The author is a former Newt Advisor, writes for Newsmax, and runs Insider Advantage Poll. I think he's absolutely right- that Newt should park himself in Arizona and make a stand.

Newt did attack Romney hard in Florida. The problem was that he attacked him from the left instead of focusing on Romneycare.

Not sure going negative works for Newt.

But, what do I know?

Well, since the MSM and the GOP has cast him as a grumpy, old Andy Rooney caricature, I think you know alot.

Myself, I like his direct approach. The others do the same. but they smile while they stab the other opponent. That seems to make a difference.

Only one thing he can do- He parks himself in Arizona, and hopes that there’s a “blood feud” between Rick and Mitt in Michigan that brings them both down. That’s sort of what Rick did- he let the other 2 duke it our in Fla— and he slipped off to the other states and flew in under the radar.

I’m not sure anything will work for Newt at this point unfortunately. Fact of the matter is, I think we’re going to nominate the candidate that has the least chance of beating Obama in a general election. I don’t even care anymore.

I fear it was all predetermined.

We didn’t have a chance. :(

No, we’re not going to nominate Ron Paul.

Going negative is the wrong way to go.

He needs to focus ENTIRELY on speeches explaining his positions and strategies for the country. This hurts Rick since Rick doesn’t really have an impressive platform. This hurts Romney because it shows that Newt can campaign without giving in to the Hate Machine.

Scary. I know they appoint political operatives in the precincts who are in control of the vote totals. In Va., several were convicted of doing so. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Gingrich is going to have to do better than he did here in Colorado last week in the days leading to the caucus.
Few, if any TV or radio ads.
Few, if any mailers.
Few, if any robocalls.
Newt’s campaign stop was very short, and was confined to the more liberal part of the state.
All off the other candidates were down here in Conservative/Tea Party central.
On Caucus night, no one wanted to hear his name. It was Santorum all the way. I was frankly shocked, but understood. If the candidate doesn’t show up, people think he isn’t engaged in the race, or that he isn’t serious.
There is still time of engage the voters. People do not want Romney if there is any other possible option, from what I saw.The opportunity is there. Newt needs to grab it.

After the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore thought that the presidency had been "stolen" from him.
Yet his party made no move toward election reform.

George W. Bush was considered by many to have been "selected" by the Supreme Court, not elected by the people.
Yet his party made no move toward election reform.

I believe the electoral process is a hoax, both parties are in on it, and we are living under a tyranny far more vast than almost anyone imagines. We won't get out of this mess by way of the ballot box.
