The real Newtie was the one sitting on the couch with Nazi (No oil for YOU!) Pelosi.
The problem is simple: If not Newt, who? The bench is empty.
Oh PAWLEEEEEZE.....

Should have known.
Waaaaaaah.
“I’m going to be the nominee,” the former Speaker told ABC News. “It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee.”
TAPPER: “How do you respond to Republicans who say if you don’t draw distinctions with Mitt Romney and others who are attacking you, if you don’t point out their perceived vulnerabilities, Barack Obama and the Democrats sure aren’t going to share that same reluctance and you are doing Obama a favor by staying positive?”
GINGRICH: “They are not going to be the nominee. I don’t have to go around and point out the inconsistencies of people who are not going to be the nominee. They are not going to be the nominee.”
TAPPER: “You are going to be the nominee?”
GINGRICH: “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee. And by the way I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking. So they should do what they and their consultants want to do.”
Same old ****... different day.

The reason that Gingrich is slipping in IA is simple. He has no money and he has no real group of troops there to build support. If he had money to respond to Paul’s ads, he may have stopped this hemorrhage earlier.
I want someone to ask poor little Newt about his upcoming global warming book. His co authors are promoting it but I don’t believe I’ve heard him mention it even once.
Go Newt!
Reuters publishes another misleading headline over a misleading pile of rhetoric.
Newt and Bill Clinton are on O’Reilly tonight.....
GO NEWT! Kick Mitts butt. Tell it like it is with Mitt trying to have it both ways. Mitt is nice when the camera is on but his surrogate PAC is doing the dirty campaigning with Mitt trying to be above the fray. I believe that is being two face.
The only poll he has “slipped” in has been Iowa, all other polls still have him beating Mitt by double digits. The MSM sure wants Romney to win it don’t they?
Good. Newt needs to start fighting back hard. Just because he promised a clean campaign doesn’t mean he shouldn’t defend himself against attacks. All he has to do is speak and voters respond positively. He’s been too silent the past week. The polls that are based on LV tend to favor Newt and he can move up in the polls again if he keeps challenging Romney.
Newton angers too many, makes them stroke-prone. Switch to Santorum.
