Gingrich brushes off Freddie, leads Republican race: poll
reuters ^ | 11/20/2011 | Jeff Mason

(Reuters) - Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has roared into the lead of the Republican nominating race, brushing off concerns about his work for a troubled housing company, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed.

Twenty-four percent of registered Republican voters would support the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives if the contest were held now, an increase of 8 percentage points from roughly a week ago, according to the poll, which was conducted on November 18-19.

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who has stayed near the top of most polls, garnered support from 22 percent of Republicans, slumping 6 percentage points from the last survey conducted on November 10-11 and ending up essentially tied with Gingrich.

Despite allegations of questionable business ties, Gingrich is the latest favorite of conservative Republicans eager for an alternative to Romney, whom they see as too moderate.

Nice spam Johnnie. You already posted this exact rant on other threads. Try to at least include original thoughts in your comments. Also, you are still replying to post 1 over and over again instead of the specific comments directed at you. For the love of all that is good in this world, take a minute to figure out how to post properly and quit with the spam.

Newt can’t win without the South and the South doesn’t like Newt and his baggage.

ANSWER the question. Don’t just go into your default setting of hysteric personal attack mode the second anyone asks a tough question about your candidate of choice.

Why in the world do you think nominating the one candidate the 0 Campaign PR machine can credibly paint as part of the DC Establishment in the minds of independent voters is going to work?

With the vast majority of Americans angry at professional politicians of both parties, why would you want to nominate the one candidate an incumbent President can position himself as the “outsider” against?

More spam. You posted these exact nonsensical comments on another thread this morning - and you are posting your spam in the exact same order as you did earlier as well. No original thoughts or arguments unique to the topic, just endless spam and/or hostility and invective.

Thank you for once again proving my point.

Instead of addressing the point you Cult Of Personality bots fall right back into your posting SOP of diversion, personal attack, and obfuscation.

I'm tired of trying to control other Countries.

Our foreign policy should be National Security as a product of our Military strength and Constitutional clarity.

Secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws and become energy independent.

Don't Tread On Me

I really only care about the individual state polls. That is where it matters. Who cares if Newt is winning nationwide. The states are what counts. Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Michigan, and Nevada are important due to the system. Let’s see how the candidates do in these states. Go Cain, Bachmann and Santorum.

Actually, I’m beginning to think that this is just a game for MNJohnnie. He’s getting his kicks by getting everybody worked up. The more people respond to him the more he gets off on it. Perhaps responding to him is just feeding the beast...

Thank you for one again proving the point about the Cult of Personality mindless bot nature of the Newt squad’s postings.

Quite frankly Johnnie, you obviously don't read people's comments and you are just endlessly posting spam garbage. If you'd read anything I said, you'd know I most certainly don't even think all that highly of Newt in the first place. I specifically told you that this morning that I am backing Newt because I don't see a better alternative - not because I think he is so wonderful.

You really are one of the worst posters I've ever encountered on FR. You barely know how to use the reply system which makes it difficult to figure out who and what you are talking about, the stuff you post is regularly hostile and filled with venom towards others, and you constantly post spam trash over and over again.
