“Yes! I hope the New Hampshire Romney crowd doesn’t boo Newt too badly, but I suspect they will, because Romney is their homey lib.”

By the time he’s done, they’ll be calling it Newt Hampshire!

[marstegreg]

8% is a surge?

No. The results mean 8% is a lie. if you look at who is polled generally only 1/3 are republicans. They just do this to push their narrative. They are trying to manipulate the primary by pushing people to a ertain candidate.

[ohioWfan]

Santorum has been vetted by people paying attention.

Regardless of the leftist propaganda to the contrary, he is a consistent, principled, experienced, across the board conservative.

[Brown Deer]

Herman Cain will be appearing on Hannity tonight at 9:30pm Eastern to make a special announcement!

[katiedidit1]

No propaganda on the following: he along with Sen Hillary Clinton, Lieberman and Brownback supported a govt study to the tune of 90 million dollars to explore the effects watching tv has on children; he voted to raise the debt ceiling EIGHT times; Santorum voted to raise the minimum wage and to have the govt be allowed to set wage regulations; Santorum spent more than 1 billion on earmarks including..., Pennsylvania in 2005 received $483 million in earmarks for 872 projects, including $5.4 million for an igloo upgrade for an Army Depot and $5 million for a new visitor center at Gettysburg. and what most know about is his endorsement of Spector which he never apologized for...and his losing the senate seat in a landslide. I will say there is NO candidate running as socially conservative as Rick Santorum but he is NOT a fiscal conservative and our economy is in dire straits.

The Liberal News-Media (now joined by their The Usual E-RINO Suspects) will suffer an "epic fail" ...

as they DESPERATELY try to force a "faux disqualification" for Newt Gingrich in the upcoming Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary.


I'm confident that Newt Gingrich will "decimate" Mitt Romney and Dr. Winkie (Ron Paul) in South Carolina and Florida ...


======================================


How many successful POTUS candidates have ever won the Iowa Caucus ?

In the last thirty-two (32) years ... only ONE Democrat (Obama in 2008) and ONE Republican (Bush-43 in 2000) have won BOTH the Iowa Caucus and the Presidential Election ...

Of course, that doesn't include "sitting" Presidents (Reagan, Clinton) who won Iowas on their way to a second term election ...

That presents odds of TWO (2) Iowa Caucus wins out of SIXTEEN (16) possible Presidential Election Candidates !

Equivalent to a Whopping twelve-point-five (12.5) percent success rate ...




How many successful POTUS candidates have ever won the New Hampshire Primary ?

In the last thirty-two (32) years ... only ONE Democrat (Carter in 1976) and TWO Republicans (Reagan-1980 and Bush-41 in 1988) have won BOTH the New Hampshire Primary and the Presidential Election ...

Of course, that doesn't include "sitting" Presidents (Reagan, Clinton) who won New Hampshire on their way to a second term election ...

That presents odds of THREE (3) New Hampshire wins out of FIFTEEN (15) possible Presidential Election Candidates !

Equivalent to a Whopping thirteen-three-three (13.33) percent success rate ...

Servant,

You are not very perceptive. This is a national poll, not one from Iowa. the national poll is different because Iowans see the race up close and millions of dollars worth of ads have been bought to influence the vote. Get it?

Iowans saw millions of dollars of anti Newt ads that no one else has seen and they have been very effective. Also, the Iowa vote is very influential itself, so you will see the national Gallup poll change a lot by Friday.

[Dave W]

Gee, I don’t think the Republican Party wants a RINO, but the conservatives are splitting their vote. It’s very basic.

[hosepipe]

If they didn’t Romney would be toast.. HE AIN’T...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Santorum is not surging. He pretty much lived in people's homes in Iowa, and nearly brought them coffee and the morning paper for over a month.

He blew most of his very small campaign Wad, in a desperate effort to get back up in the race. But like Huckabee in 2008, he appealed to a very narrow but strong evangelical caucus in Iowa. He will no longer find that kind of support in the rest of the Primaries.

Most of the country, also no longer gets their marching orders from the MSM like they still do in Iowa. Most voters will never watch a campaign ad, especially the kind that Romney and Paul ran against Newt in Iowa.

Another interesting thing, that Paul is doing well in most of the Liberal states. Must be those young Democrats, like the ones who came out for him in Iowa. I think that Paul won't get out of single digits from SC on. And after the Santorum hangover wears off, Newt will start climbing in the polls again, because Romney is such a plastic, phony manikin looking, creepy dude.

[jpsb]

"Santorum is not surging. He pretty much lived in people's homes in Iowa"

That is how I see it too. Either Newt or Paul is fine with me. I see Newt if he goes rogue gaining support. I see Paul gaining if Newt fades. I do not see Romney winning. Perry is the wild card.

[PaleoBob]

This Gallup thing is just meaningless. Always has been. The poll reflects the preferences of many non-voters, a disproportionate number of people in states that will vote for Obama anyway, a base of “name recognition” respondents, and so forth. It tells us nothing meaningful. There will never be a national vote to determine the Republican candidate, nor any way of ever proving the polling accurate inside any sort of margin of error. In fact, if you were Gallup you could just report any numbers you wanted and never have to account for any of it.

[nicmarlo]

bump. Wait till SC, hopefully, RINO Romney will meet his doom.

[Dave W]

Obviously. Your observation has been made now since the start of the whole process - nothing new.

[Dave W]

Maybe, maybe not. The winner of the SC primary is usually the nominee - perhaps always. Give Santorum a few moments of sunshine for a change. Mock him all you want, but he hung in there and did the hard work that Newt did not do.

Nominations are usually over fairly quickly and the Iowa vote itself does provide lots of media coverage to Santorum which won't hurt, much as it did to the Huckster four years ago. In fact, the Huckster won quite a few states four years ago. But as long as Newt and Santorum and others are splitting the conservative vote, just acclimate yourself to the Republican nominee Romney.

[Dave W]

I get so sick of people whining about every candidate they don't like. There is loads of stuff on every candidate that we could use if we wanted to demonize them. Grow up. Stop it. There are many many good arguments concerning Santorum about fiscal matters. Research it and post it, but I know you won’t.

[katiedidit1]

How about Santorum joining forces with Hillary and Joe Lieberman, Sam Brownback to give 90 MILLION dollars of taxpayers money to study the effects watching tv has on children? how about his vote to raise the debt ceiling 8 times? the bridge to nowhere in Alaska? and some more lobbying ties that are not going to be in his favor. Why do you think the people of PA voted him out by a landslide? if you want a social conservative that is strong on moral issues...Santorum is your man. If you want a fiscal conservative that will turn our economy around...Newt is your man. Also, CAGW (citizens against govt waste) is one of the best taxpayer watch dog sites online...they are bipartisan and nail everyone on earmarks and pork spending. They have posted the info on the 90 million taxpayer dollars utilized to study the effects watching tv has on children and yes, Santorum was for it big time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news..but all candidates need vetting before we jump on their bandwagon. It will hit the fan anyway...just be aware of it. I know of Newts baggage and I know of his great accomplishments..he is my man..period

[wardaddy]

It still sux

We cannot stay divided....newt and rick could make a deal

Newt/santorum

Newt promises to not run for second term and rick gets nod then to try for his own eight ball
