"Recent polls show that Santorum is markedly more popular among those identifying as "very" conservative. In the most recent one (pdf), Santorum has a favorability rating among those hardcore Republicans of 60%. (Gingrich didn't make the survey cut.)"

Are you aware the UK Guardian is as braindead left as they come?

They and their little American lefty friends are scared to death of Newt Gingrich and would love nothing more than to make sure he ISN”T nominated.

Well, that sure was an interesting opinion piece!

What’s next? What Pravda or the Romanian Communist Party Newsletter have to say on the subject of Newt’s chances?

Too bad Newt won’t run for the House again.

Those people need a real leader with a spine.

A point to remember: neither the polls, nor the media, will ultimately decide who is the candidate.

A show en force by the American people is needed to remind the pollsters who still runs America...it's the people.

Romney is a RINO, Santorum is a whiner, Newt is the only one who can take on the big boys, and win.

Hey Fishy, the Guardian is about as Communist smelling newspaper there is in the UK.

In Savannah on Friday, Gingrich entertained the audience...

That's right. This rag summarizes Gingrich's appearance as "entertaining".

Sort of like the way the left (and now Santorum) call Rush an "entertainer".

It's diminishing.

"Recent polls show that Santorum is markedly more popular among those identifying as "very" conservative. In the most recent one (pdf), Santorum has a favorability rating among those hardcore Republicans of 60%. (Gingrich didn't make the survey cut.)" from something called Langer Research, whatever that is.

Meanwhile, Newt is gaining ground, Rasmussen daily tracking, 03.01.12:

The national survey of 1,000 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted on February 29, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of likely primary voters nationally view Romney favorably, while 63% share a favorable opinion of Santorum. That’s a five-point improvement for Romney and a 12-point drop for Santorum from the previous survey.Gingrich is viewed favorably by 56% and Paul by 41%, marking virtually no change for either man from two weeks ago.

Romney and Paul remain the candidates considered least conservative by most GOP primary voters. Eighty-four percent (84%) rate Santorum at least somewhat conservative, and 72% think the same of Gingrich. Romney is considered at least somewhat conservative by 58%, and Paul is seen that way by 57%. But while Santorum is seen as Very Conservative by 49%, only eight percent (8%) view Romney that way.

I know: Let’s ask Steve Schmidt, Bob Shrum, Gary Younge and Cindy Sheehan what they think of Newt’s chances.

If this is true, then Romney will be the nominee.

Santorum is a phony, big government 'conservative'.

Accchhhh. Newt is such a deeply flawed personality and needs adoration too badly to make good on what his mouth says.

I know I am a lone beat up salmon swimming upstream but our not Romney should be Santorum instead of Gingrich just in case we can actually beat the Rommachine. The human being most grounded, secure, and doesn’t deeply crave approval and adoration is Rick Santorum. Therefore he would be the best conservative President.

You all would regret a Newt presidency.

Neither guy is perfect. I will vote for either guy in June that has a chance. But I support Santorum and I understand that he says good conservative things, things that are very true and one is glad they are said, and they are twisted around by the media just as Rush’s statements are. I don’t see any of you dumping Rush today. It’s the same BS hitting Santorum.

ANyway, at this point we see it played out. Gingrich is a good man and absolutely brilliant. But he isn’t trustworthy as a clean conservative steward of the presidency based on his past emotional decision making. I know you don’t believe me, but a steady hand is extremely important in the White House.

Steelfish, you know, that is a communist leaning paper. I am beginning to wonder about you.

" I'd like to bang the global-warming deniers around the head with this straightforward suggestion "

Newt ? that is not going to sit well with conservatives who balk at the idea that Global Warming is Man Made.
