It’s not a “room”, but a theater house with 2,000 seats.

You are so right. I wish we could vote tonight for him.

Currently it looks like CSPAN is repeating the forum at 10pm EDT for those, like me, who missed it.

Rick had 4 questions and didn’t answer a single one.

[Cboldt]

-- Says the other TWO candidates cannot win against Obama, and he will not leave the field. --

And he was cheerful! "This is not a hard race" (or campaign, I forget which word he used), he's very confident and comfortable with his message, and I think he'd be disappointed if the public didn't adopt it (via nominating then electing him), but not personally crushed like Santorum or Romney would/will be if/when they lost.

....listening to Newt. I never feel like he's giving a speech and always like he's just talking to us

That's because he IS talking to us....he knows what we want...and we know what he wants to do....and He wants to deliver it in Washington.

There's no pussy-footing around with Newt...and that is the difference between Santorum wanting to be President and the Man this country Needs to be President. There's no second chance if Newt doesn't get this.

Newt said neither Romney nor Santorum can beat Obama...and he's absolutely correct!!!!

read the thread again so you are well versed.....absolutely find a comfy place with beverages cause it is that tellin and that good

[Reily]

In taking on this Zero crowd we need a candidate who is a brawler. One who will hand out pool cues and broken beer bottle and unapologetically say, “Let's Rock!”.

The second one jumped out at me - union stuff is close to my heart, and not in the normal conservative way (my grandad started one of the first mining unions over here) - I’ll need watch the replay for the others.

Newt nailed it, as always.

[Cboldt]

-- Rick had 4 questions and didn't answer a single one. --

I thought he was fairly responsive to the National security question.

duffee needs that information. Thanks very much, newzjunkey!!!

Thanks so much, newzjunkey. I missed it.

[onyx]

I’m voting for him tomorrow!

I can barely wait!

[caww]

I think he'd be disappointed if the public didn't adopt it (via nominating then electing him),

Look, Newt knows fully well that when people can and do hear his plans and message of what he intends to do they will rally for him...the problem is the media and all he faces who are opposing him are getting in the way of Newt being heard. The Rep. Party Elites are behind keeping Newt at bay as well as the Obama Machine and Romney Machine...the recognize fully if Newt gets in heads are going to roll....Newt's made no secret about this. So he's up against formidable forces at every side....that's why we pray and trust that God will hear our Prayers and open the red sea once again!!!!!

Newt Gingrich explains the difference between him and Santorum: ‘Not the same kind of conservatism’

I truly don’t know how anyone can’t be all in for Newt Gingrich, do you?

No. He has specific plans to correct the mess Obamam has made. He doesn't talk nonsense, soundbites. And for sure he doesn't quote old songs pandering to the crowd in whatever state he's in.

Newt just gives us his ideas and plans with just plain talk!

Yes beccause the other side is armed with knifes and guns just as Obama said they would be....and they use the media, google, pundits and strong arming those who resist as their ammo.....
