DOTHAN, Alabama Republican Newt Gingrich is counting on a win in Alabamas primary Tuesday.
The former House speaker attended five campaign events Saturday and stressed his Southern connections. Gingrich served 20 years in Congress from Georgia and won that states primary last Tuesday.
Gingrich poked at top rival Mitt Romney, who drew snickers last week when he told a campaign audience hed eaten cheesy grits for breakfast. Gingrich said familiarity with grits is essential to understanding Southern culture.

Gingrich can
Crush the opposition
Like Genghis Kahn
Now I know something about grits and grunts(a small pan fish which are plentiful around the Fla. Keys) and I would guarantee you that Mitt Romney has NO idea what they are or how good they are with fried fish.
I hope he doesn’t tucker himself out campaigning or this might happen again:

Think about it. Obama just has to be as boring as Panetta and can lull Newt to sleep (literally).
Nah, doing the Reagan winks are OK. But playing footsie with Babs and Hilly is...
With Santorum grabbing more primary votes, it looks like it may end up with Gingrich conceding and at the same time spearheading his campaign. It is not what I would have wished, I was rooting for Newt, but I hope both take the need to win this thing from both Mitt and Barack seriously enough to do what’s wisest.
The wisest thing may just be a brokered convention.
I’m not sure ... just saying maybe.
Grits tasted like Cream of Wheat to me. Given a choice I’d take the wheat over the corn.
You ain’t doin it right.
Put the grits on a plate, add salt and pepper, top it with two fried eggs (over easy) and dig in. Ain’t nutthin better. Don’t fergit the bisket.
Fried chicken, turnip or collard greens, black eyed peas, grits, sweetened ice tea, fried okra and squash, mash potatoes, corn bread, peach cobbler, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, country ham, hush puppies, succotash, mint julep, chicken fried steak, buttermilk biscuits, pimento cheese, deep fried catfish, fried green tomatoes, butter beans, pinto beans, boiled peanuts, and green beans.
Did I miss anything?
stop stop......now I am homesick!
Damn, youre making me hungry.
Whatchu mean, “sweetened ice tea?”
They call it SWEET-TEA in Alabama!! BEST stuff in the world .... will put plenty of pounds on ya, too, along with the BBQ.
Ooooh I hope not! Something about Leon Panetta, do any of your remember the "stroke of a pen" remark and what it pertained to? The photo-ops were taken overlooking the Grand Canyon but the damage was done to Utah's Grand Escalante Staircase and the soft coal beneath that land. Clinton's friends in Indonesia, the Raidy family now held the key to the riches from Soft Coal production, the one coal permitted to be burned in America. Leon Panetta was Clinton's Chief of Staff.
(a refresher course) .....CLEAN COAL, DIRTY CLINTONS
How can you sell-out your country to foreign interests and have it appear to be a courageous act of environmental protection? The clintons show you how....
