"Restore Our Future, a super-PAC supporting Mitt Romneys presidential campaign, will run full-page ads attacking Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Union Leader and The State in Columbia, S.C., the most prominent newspapers in the next two primary states.
The decision to attack Gingrich is a curious one, as Rick Santorum has emerged as Romneys top rival for the GOP nomination after he virtually tied Romney on Tuesday in Iowas caucuses. Post-voting analysis shows much of Gingrichs support in that state ended up going to Santorum."
Santorum, crushed, he will be rewarded well, cabinet slot at a min.
It’s way past time for Newt to go Postal on Romney.
Excellent!
Oh, he will : )
Yep!
Willard the Massachusetts Lib is toast if we (True Conservatives/Tea Party/So-Cons) play this RIGHT!
Romney should run in the Democrat primary...
>> He doesn’t see Santorum as a credible threat.
Honestly, I don’t either, this is Santorum’s 15 minute of fame, which I predict, will be quick to fade. It’ll come down to Gingrich vs. Romney and Romney seems to be pulling ahead. God knows he’s got the money to outlast everyone if he wants.
quote “I guess we know who Romneys afraid of”
yep, it’s obvious to anyone without blinders on that Gingrich is the only one who can stop Romney. Santorum was pushed to the front because he would be the weakest candidate to stand up against Romney. Conservatives are being manipulated.
Please vote for Gingrich or we are going to be stuck with Romney people.
There's a reason Mittens is still attacking Newt and not Santorum.
funny Santorum needs Newt to do his fighting against Romney.. doesn’t say much for Santorum or the way he would fight the left if he got the top job
Got 2 flyers from them today here in Florida.
Precisely the strategy he should have.
“Thanks everyone who slashed and gashed Newt who was leading by a comfortble margin.”
Thank them, no.... they can kiss my backside.
funny Santorum needs Newt to do his fighting against Romney.. doesnt say much for Santorum or the way he would fight the left if he got the top job.
Funny. Newt considers Santorum a “Junior Partner”
So, I guess Newt means he’s the “Senior Partner”
Being a “Senior Partner” Newt must lead by example.
I’m pulling for Newt to go Medieval on Romney!
Go Postal Newt! Exact your Revenge on Romney for
slicing and dicing you in Iowa!
So you think Santorum asked Gingrich to get into this unproductive slap fest with Romney? And Gingrich said "Sure"?
No matter what else happens, Gingrich is floundering and Santorum is rising. I see nothing that will change this. Gingrich supporters will soon feel like Perry supporters, or Cain supporters, or Bachmann supporters, or Palin...
Yes, but Newt had infidelity issues, so it was more important to raise a stink over that than to have an acceptably conservative nominee.
Anything else Newt has done, Santorum and the others have committed political sins equally as bade.g. Dede Scozzafava :: Arlen Specter, posing with Nancy Pelosi :: teaming up with Hillary Clinton so on, so forth.
Yep, and it is so sickening, but we may still prevail. He is a very strong man.
Romney’s plan has always been obvious. If he is able to take out Newt, he owns it.
However, the very second that Romney gets the nomination, Obama is guaranteed the election..... and on that day, the America we once loved and cherished is gone, perhaps forever.
GO NEWT GO.......
Sorry, not even close. Gingrich has more baggage than the Atlanta Terminal. If they were all exposed to the general public, they would flee from him like they would a dead skunk. Even if you believe he is a solid conservative, he is a terrible candidate, especially against a ruthless machine that will make the most of his tawdry past, and I'm including in this his fronting for Fannie and Freddie when they were destroying our economy. Can you imagine what Jamie Goerlick would have to say about Gingrich's role with them? He'd be toast.
It’s becoming incresaingly clear that at one point in December, Newt had an excellent chance to beat Romney. That’s why the GOP-E, Romney and the MSM all went after him simultaneously. In the meantime, they were scared that a Peery or Bachmann could catch fire from Newt’s votes so they picked the most boring conservative in the group and started telling us about the “Santorum surge.” Now Newt is lying on the field bleeding and Santorum is fighting a gun battle with water pistol. This race was over in December. Newt led SC by 20 points...now Romney leads. Stick a fork in us boys and kiss the ring of the new McCain.
