The latest Fox News poll shows Newt Gingrich leading the Republican presidential field, edging Mitt Romney. Gingrich now has the support of 23 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, compared with 22 percent for Romney, 15 percent for Herman Cain, 8 percent for Ron Paul, 7 percent for Rick Perry, 6 percent for Michele Bachmann, 3 percent for Jon Huntsman, and 2 percent for Rick Santorum.
Support for Gingrich has almost doubled over the past three weeks. Over that span, Gingrich is up 11 percentage points, Bachmann and Huntsman are up 3 points apiece, Romney is up 2 points, Paul and Santorum are down 1 point apiece, Perry is down 3 points, and Cain is down 9 points. The number of respondents who are either undecided or want someone else has dropped from 17 to 14 percent.

It is early and the polls will bounce all over. Iowa does not look good for Newt; NH looks like it will go for Romney. Maybe Iowa will go for Cain. I think Fox is pushing Romney.. even heard Imus state he is for Romney.
Newt sets the record straight on the mandate lie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEmh3s32Gfw&feature=relmfuhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXSrVg6OKiU&feature=related

I don’t get it.
Newt supported TARP, worked to protect Freddie Mac and has been totally unreliable for conservatives.
In my opinion Cain is the only one who can beat Romney in Michigan but Romney will lose to Obama. I believe Cain can also beat Obama here which is the real goal.
I don’t see anyone else in the race who can do the same.
Fox is for RINOS. Their “Polls” lie.
onyx, I have really enjoyed “listening” to the candidates. Their words, ideas and responses. I shut out the media and the spin and base my decision on the candidate alone. Newt is the right man imo. Greta will ask tough questions..I want to hear it all
But it can not be denied that Newt is gaining traction and moving up. Now he needs to get organized, I heard he doesn't have the organization to complete after earlier primaries. He has time, hope he can put something together. Cain has the same task ahead of him too.
Seems that Newt is the “Flavor of the Week”.
Yep.
Is she telling us what we should do or stating fact? Either these things are true or they are not. He WILL need to address them. To think he wouldn’t be targeted when it was his turn at the top is naive at best. The powers that be, left or right, want Romney. We’ve been told all along by Newt supporters that he’s been fully vetted and anyway he knows how to stand up to the scrutiny. If that’s the case he’ll come out just fine.
However, it will be interesting to see whether Newt’s supporters say some of the same things they’ve mocked Cain & Perry supporters for.

Cain supported Tarp. Newt owned a consulting firm and was hired as a consultant by freddie mac...nothing illegal. Now, freddie mac did donate to Cain’s senate race in Georgia. Do you understand the federal govt pays consultants high prices ranging from the dept of transportation, dept of defense and post office? it is legal and his advice was solicited. He said they did not listen ...in the meantime look at the money the actual freddie mac execs made...
WHOOO HOOOO, let’s all support a serial adulterer! That’s what this country needs, someone to have our kids model their lives after!
Iowa Republican Presidential Caucus ISU/Gazette/KCRG Cain 25, Romney 16, Paul 20, Gingrich 5, Perry 8, Bachmann 8, Santorum 5, Huntsman 0
I didn’t say it was illegal. Insider Trading is legal if your in Congress too.
Newt was trying to protect Freddie Mac from more government oversight. Apparently he was also paid to push Bush’s medicare drug entitlement program.
He is no conservative.
