Newt Sees a Long Slog
POLITICO LIVE ^ | 3/4/12 10:10 AM EST | ABBY PHILLIP

Newt Gingrich predicted on Sunday that the Republican presidential nomination process is far from over.

“This is going to go on for a while,” Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week." Romney is "not a very convincing front runner and he’s a long way from winning this race.”

The former House speaker said voters are responding to his “big ideas” message, and he intends to continue competing in states like Mississippi and Alabama after Super Tuesday.

“The big ideas matter. Twice in this process I’ve been the front runner in national polls,” Gingrich said. “I think people are responding to big solutions and big ideas.”

On Tuesday, Gingrich has set his hopes on his home state Georgia, which he said was the biggest prize among the ten Super Tuesday contests.

“I think I’ll win Georgia by a much, much bigger margin than Romney won Michigan,” Gingrich said.

I hope so. Goodness knows I’m sick of these small message candidates just snipping over small crap to win the approval of lazy voters.

Exactly, especially with this country and economy going down the proverbial tubes and the focus is still on petty social issues.

Newt is going to win Georgia on Tuesday
Santorum is going to win Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ohio and more.
Romney will win Mass, Vermont, maybe Virginia.

So who really has bragging rights?

The momentum is still headed Newt’s way, let’s hope it continues on Tuesday.

Well we will see on Tuesday. I know you pray Romney kicks it to Santorum, but I don’t. I want Santorum to win or at least Newt. I pray that your wishes DON’T come true.

Newt sure can stick with it, that is for sure. His boots must go all the way to his armpits. He knows how to stay steady and on track.

You don’t know squat junior...... My wish is that Newt takes it all and puts both moderates Santorum and Romney on the list of losers.

I’m absolutely convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him running back to his Chicago slime pit with his tail between his legs. Newt has plenty of DC experience as Speaker, executive ability from his many enterprises, and a silver tongue that’s razor sharp! He’s fast on his feet, delivers it straight up with no hemming and hawing, and is often witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive and as we’ve seen recently, Newt is able to put into words what the vast majority of Americans really believe. His fevered brain also has great ideas for making government work better for taxpayers. Is Newt pure as new driven snow? No - none of the presidential candidates are in line for sainthood. Whatever Newt’s “baggage”, it pales beside Obama’s habitual lying and outright corruption - and unlike Obama, Newt is 100% American! Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: send him to DC and he’ll “Get ‘er done” for all of us. Newt has “Been there, done that! Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but they’ll save your bacon!

I am damn mad at what Obama and his bootlickers have stolen from us - you should be too - and I want someone to represent me! Newt Gingrich is that man! Sic ‘im, Newt!

The ankle biters who support Santorum have no clue what a Santorum nomination would cost us. Which is why I am sticking with Newt, through and true.

Newt is certainly on message. On FOX this morning, they showed how his positive message and focus on the economy and Obama’s lies, is what is starting to take hold in a big way.

Nobody is smarter than the Master Statesman when it comes to politics; Nobody!

Actually, with the exception of the Massachusetts Taxman, the key is to get into a Presidential televised debate vs. The Undocumented One, where either Rick or Newt will win.(or almost any high schooler)

The MSM will run a smoke screen for Obama like they always do. Debates with Obama involved, will all be highly rehearsed and structured, along with a planted audience. The Left will set the format to meet their advantage.

The will be no real and honest debate. Even at that, Newt will find a way to stand out if he wins. All other candidates who go against Obama will be road kill under that debate format.
