CSPAN is getting ready to cover Newt right now, if you want to DVR it, at a townhall. He has some Reagan guests with him. Beginning now

[struggle]

oops, my mistake

[LostInBayport]

Ugh. I thought Gregory was hosting the one tomorrow morning that I was going to give a miss.

[CedarDave]

Mitt is pro-life, pro-government, and pro-gay marriage.

Wrong!

Mitt is pro-life choice, pro-government, and pro-gay marriage.

Of course, pro-choice = pro-abortion

[Las Vegas Ron]

I’m not sure....just know about Gregory.

Welp... here we go!

The drinking word for tonight is “fundamental.”

How about 'fact of the matter'? Another Romney favorite.

[RitaOK]

Romney is being built up as the FRONT RUNNER.

[Miss Didi]

But Huntsman lived in China...surely you are impressed. ;)

ABC begins with the LIE that Romney won IOWA.

This heralds that what follows will also quite likely be a lie.

THE REAL DEAL:

"Vote Count Error? Did Rick Santorum Really Win the Iowa Caucuses?
DES MOINES, Iowa - Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes
and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page.
He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa
got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadn’t.
“When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I’ve got a
20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa,” True said. “Not Mitt Romney.”

"Several UNREPORTED news reports have it that Romney
did not win the Iowa Caucuses.
Barring any objective, verifiable proof that shows more than 12 votes mistakenly
being credited to Santorum, Romney lost."

"Could Typo Rewrite Caucus History? (Santorum may regain win)"

[Yaelle]

Sawyer? The stupid witch?

[mylife]

Diane Sawyer? Puke!!!

[MagUSNRET]

Aw geez!!!! Diane Sawyer again........crap

[Reddy]

Diane mentions the 8 votes from Iowa, but not that the count has been revised with -20 for Mitt!!!

[LostInBayport]

I wonder if Diane Sawyer is still on the meds that were sedating her during the last debate.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Grrrr....looks like all the toadies are there.

[Coyote Choir]

Thanks - I will work on that spelling. NEWT.

[RitaOK]

Oh, no! Sawyer and her rules....again! 1 minute! Sheesh!!

[TomGuy]

Smarmy Sawyer appears to be un-intoxicated — at the moment, anyway.

Oops. She is slightly slurring.
