I live in Woodstock ! I just voted for Newt at the Woodstock Library. You have tomorrow too to vote if you live here. Also on Tuesday .
Hopefully conservatives will come to their senses and keep Newt’s momentum going ...he’s our only choice. I personally just cannot stomach another, what, 8 months of Mitt vs Rick!!??
I think I’ll have to stab my eyes out if that is the case.
I hope someone is keeping Saintorum company... I hate to think of what could happen to him if were unattended when he goes into one his “throw up” fits. LOL
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
Better blind with Newt, than a seeing with Romney. Santorum? Choose one eye only and turn that one to his consistant foolish remarks.
God bless you and GO NEWT!!!
I understand your frustration. I keep telling people that are voting for Romney or Santorum that they will only have themselves to blame while we watch the price of gas, food electricity and everything we consume Sky Rocket.
Newt is the only candidate with an Energy Plan that can bring down the price of gas, make us energy independent and create millions of Jobs.
Obama and Chu want gas to be $ 10.00 per gallon. Newt is the only one who can stop their insanity.
Mitt TIED in his own state (before he paid off the MI GOP to change it), despite outspending Rick 5:1.
How can we nominate someone who can't even win his own state?
Amen! I know it looks like it will be Georgia goes for Newt. I may be dreaming could give awareness to Our cause. Alot of states coming out on tuesday. We will see! I am praying.
I’m praying almost non stop.
Newt has to win our beloved South.
I’m in Mississippi.
I relieved campaign crap in the mail today from Romney.
WOW! Santorum is dropping like a rock. With Newt having such a large lead in Georgia he can spend some time in the other states. GO NEWT GO!
Newt could have 58%, if only Santorum stepped down from his turf.
Herman Cain is campaigning for Newt in Tennessee, with Newt’s daughter Jackie Cushman.
Rally around Newt and beat loser Santorum and Mitten. Yeeeeeeaaaaa!
Santorum continues to fall like a rock.
Newt is expanding out to other states by going on the offense in the next few days before Super Tuesday in Ohio, Oklahoma, along with Tennessee and Georgia.
And to note, JD Hayworth is in Idaho campaigning on behalf of Newt.
Darn it is good to hear of JD again. He should be great on the campaign for Newt.
Georgia apportions delegates proportionally, UNLESS a candidate gets to 50%, in which case the winner takes all 78 of them. So that’s an additional reason why this is great news; Newt is getting close to that mark.
Actually, let me correct myself, because it’s complicated.
First Georgia has 76 delegates, not 78.
Second, Georgia assigns delegates proportionally within each of its 14 congressional districts. But within each district, if a candidates makes it to 50% of the vote, he gets all its delegates.
Third, there’s additional state-wide “at large” delegates - 31 of them - and they’re assigned proportionally to each candidate who gets at least 20% of the vote statewide.
Here’s my source:

Anyway, my original point can be amended; there’s an additional bounty of delegates available for Gingrich in each congressional district where he makes it to 50% of the vote.
