lol!

[sanjuanbob]

AGree with you 100%. Faux news has been trying their best to get him but they can’t.

[GOPJ]

You’re right - Newt’s winning this one.

[Cato in PA]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Part of the pipeline would go through Iowa.

[katiedidit1]

tALKING heads will be on Fox news tonight and tomorrow saying Newt LOST....Krauthammer, Coulter, Rove must be having strokes

[eyedigress]

Yes, Newt did.

[Froggie]

Huntsman will bring nothing to the ticket.... if the Reps need Utah...we are all doomed !!! Santorum a better pick.... if from this group.... Of course, Rep. Alan West would be my favorite !!

[imchris]

I thought the question on Keystone was about beer.

[Gator113]

Hear hear.....

[rodguy911]

Santorum might make a good VP

If Santorum can carry Penn. he would be a great pick for VP.

..................

Newt just explained the keystone pipeline fiasco and did it better than any one has done so far.

Newt realizes that we don't have forever to make up our mind. The Canadians will just give the oil to China and run the pipeline with China picking up the tab to Vancouver.

No one else has mentioned that. He did it with gusto as well.HE's great.

[musicman]

"Santorum will look like a genius when debating Biden.... but I know of no evidence that elections are won or lost based on the VP on the ticket..."

[fightinJAG]

Yes.

I have a feeling that is a statement that is going to come back to haunt Newt on more than just Freddie Mac.

[mylife]

CAvuto trying to nail Perry AGAIN!

[onyx]

YES! Take them both away. Ron Paul and Eddie Haskell Huntsman. He’s very serious, but he goes over his allotted time and he’ssecond tier. I think they’re ignoring Santorum, although I don’t mind.

[Scythian]

NEWT IS KILLIN', GO NEWT, MAN, OBAMA JUST GOT POWNED ON THE OIL PIPELINE ISSUE, NEWT MUST BE PRESIDENT -- END COMMUNICAION, SCYTHIAN OUT

[patriotspride]

Megyn Kelly didn’t look to happy that Newt got a nice round of applause...

---

She had that “ he’s blowing our doors off” look

[BigSkyFreeper]

Newt has done well, I don’t think he’s lost ground in the polls after tonight if you ask me.

[Fawn]

.I would be so very proud having him as President

He is the ONLY one who has me excited about this race....

[untwist]

Newt reminding the Republican House to hold their ground! Don’t go wobbly, Boehner. His response on Keystone was so to the core of Obama’s anti-American leftism.
