I don't know one conservative who is buying what Willard is selling.

The latest news on what Newt Gingrich is correctly calling a roller-coaster ride: Mitt Romney is now leading in Michigan, according to one poll.
Real Clear Politics says Romney's leading Santorum by 2 points in a new Mitchell/Rosetta Stone poll. Santorum's still slightly ahead in Michigan in the RCP poll average, but the gap between him and Romney has been narrowing in the past few days.
The Michigan primary is next Tuesday.
Among other campaign-circus stuff found this morning during my surfing:
Politico's "Mitt's Burn Rate a Boon for Obama."
"Mitt Romney is burning through cash�more than twice as fast as he's raising it, new reports filed Monday show - a clear sign that a protracted GOP primary fight could leave the front-runner limping into a general election fight with President Barack Obama," Kenneth Vogel and Abby Phillip write.
Elicia Dover's ABC News blog post, on Newt Gingrich calling Barack Obama "the most dangerous president in modern American history." In a speech to a large crowd at Oral Roberts University, Dover writes, Gingrich said Obama isn't taking Iran and radical Islam seriously and wants to "unilaterally weaken the United States." �
Defeating him, Gingrich said, is "a duty of national security."
Newt on the comeback trail.
There are enough idiots in this country who vote based on what they see in TV ads.
A vote for Newt at this point is a vote for Romney.
It is in Michigan.
Explain that, please.
Nope, not with 80 to 90% of the primary delegates yet to be won.
Bull.
Nice try.
Romney is not surging. Rosetta Stone is pure bunk.
Here is what happened. Willard gets a good chunk of his support from liberals…
Guess how THIS poll compares to the latest PPP poll ?
This poll 24% liberal
Latest PPP poll 3% liberal
Romney has NO momentum, the pollsters are just messing with the underlying assumptions of who will vote in Michigan.
Two more polls

This is not a news piece. It is a BLOG. I went to RCP and Santorum is ahead of Milt in MI by over 3 points and this single poll cited has a MOE of 4.7%, which is high. This opinion piece looks like spin more than anything. Gingrich went down a point in the cited Mitchell/Rosetta Stone. 9% from 10%.
National RCP has Rick ahead of Milt by 6%.
Definitely...in Michigan and Arizona, the next two states coming up.
Go Rick! Bury Willard!
Defeating him, (Obama) Gingrich said, is “a duty of national security.”

True; but, how the hell are we going to do that when our 3 Stooges and Kook-Daddy keep destroying each other; sending our eventual nominee into the GE broke, bruised and beaten?
Bingo!
LoL. You’re slipping CC. It took you almost 10 minutes to be a pest.
You don’t like Santorum blowing away Willard, I see.
A blog from a pro news writer on a newspaper website.
It’s no difference when we post under FR news of stories from Fox or CNN or any other professional news organ who put news in their blog areas as news.
I don't know one conservative who is buying what Willard is selling.
You get it wrong again CC. Actually, I like the headline part were it says "Newt on Tear."
We all see you don't like Newt.
