At Mama Lou's restaurant in Robertsdale, Gingrich rapped Obama as a big-government liberal.
"I want to pit unemployment and food stamps against jobs and paychecks," he told an audience of about 200 from the restaurant's front porch."......

...."I have had grits before," he told a crowd at a Mobile cafe on Saturday morning, making a not-so-subtle knock on former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's joking admission to an audience that he was starting to like the favorite Southern food.
....The former House Speaker contended that was evidence of a larger problem facing his rival: "I figure if you don't understand grits, there's a pretty high likelihood that you don't understand the rest of the South, either."
...."We have momentum, but we haven't won," he told a crowd at his second cafe stop of the day - Mama Lou's in Robertsdale. "We still have to go out and finish the sale, we have to make sure, particularly in a county like this that has such a huge Republican vote, we need to make sure that everybody understands the opportunity."

"ATLANTA — It wasn't so long ago that the Republican Party in Georgia was just an afterthought, and Democrats were in firm control of all the levers of state government. Back then, Newt Gingrich and other die-hard GOP stalwarts ventured across the state with the far-fetched message that Republicans could reverse the tide.
Now with commanding majorities in the Statehouse and control of all statewide offices, Gingrich is hoping his vision for how the GOP could overcome decades of Democratic dominance in Georgia will pay dividends. He sorely needs a victory when his home state votes Tuesday, along with a big chunk of its 76 delegates, to prove his stumbling presidential bid has staying power.
Many Republican figures in Georgia still credit him with championing conservative policies, outlining a framework for what a GOP majority in the state could accomplish and broadcasting talking points to a generation of up-and-coming conservative leaders. He's also applauded for lobbying conservative Democrats, like then-Rep. Nathan Deal, to switch parties.
"Everyone else was trying to lose as slowly as possible, and to die with dignity at the Alamo. He was talking confidently that the Republican majority in Georgia, in the South and nationally was right around the corner," said Ralph Reed, a veteran Georgia GOP operative who founded the national Faith and Freedom Coalition. "On the one hand it was crazy, but on the other it was just the most exciting thing you've ever heard.".....................In Ga., Gingrich helped build conservative base
ah, how nice.
hopefully he doesn’t tucker himself out from all the campaigning

The only thing missing from this video is the lullaby theme.
I saw that video a few days back and was wondering how long it would take to appear here. LOL
This ****s getting ridiculous
How can you win Oh or Pa if you havent had scrapple? a panini or perogies?
None of them has ever had city mock chicken
How do you win Ky or Tn if you never ate burgoo?
How you gonna win Tx if you never had an armadillo egg?
Am I watching an election or the food network?
Romney can eat any damned thing he wants and say “y’all” twenty times a day.
His sh@t isn’t going to play in the south. Period.
No, it isn’t. The political version of Ted Bundy is recognized for what he is. We will NOT be getting in the car with him.
Dear God I hope you’re right.
Who cares if you’re a southerner or northerner.
They both need to quit this garbage of regionalism.
You’re trying to be president of the UNITED states...
That’s nothing like playing kissy face with Babs Boxer and Hilly among a ton of other stuff:
“Senator Santorum in His Own Words”

LoL.
Romney can kiss my grits.
Why doesn't Newt leave the divisional politics to Obama.
Besides, Newt sounds like where he came from: Pennsylvania
Because Georgia was such a liberal state to begin with?
And because now it's solidly Republican, unlike all those other Southern states where Newt didn't work his magic?
What in the world does that mean? By all accounts, Newt actually had to move right from his Rockefeller Republican roots when he ran for his House seat in GA. It was held by a Conservative Rat. By his own admission, he was a Rockefeller guy.

You Newt people are just hell bent on slamming Rick whan there isn't even any logic too it. Do you people really think this is helping your cause? Can you cite to me where Rick "Sat on his laurels" complaining like you are claiming here? Very cheap shot.
When was the last time he actually lived in Georgia?
I wish they would report the candidates accurately and say we have 3 running from “Virginia” or “Maryland” and one running from Massachusetts.
Last time we elected a candidate because he was a Southerner, we got Jimmah Carter.
I’m tired of identity politics. Just give me a conservative.
I Like tasty food! (not untasty food)
Go AL!
Go MS!
Go Newt!
