llandres, I didn’t hear the interview. But, I think the correct politic reply at this point is just as she said—and Newt is kind of saying the same thing.
BUT, I think they know now that this thing will have a life of its own-—and they are going to let the media and the PACS dog Romney on the issue.
It’s out there.
I think Perry is staying in to play attack dog and diminish Romneys electibility fable. That’s why he has doubled down on Romney’s Bain record.
This should help Newt and Rick. They can get back on message while the Superpac and Perry continue pound Romney.
“1. Can Newt tap into 2010 anti-establishment tea party; 2. will Gov. Palin come on board.”
Surveys I’ve been seeing say the majority of tea party members will support the nominee no matter what, in order to beat BHO; and Sarah may well not endorse anyone, but her husband Todd did - Newt. She may do what Herman said tonight on Sean he’s doing - that he’ll support our nominee and he doesn’t want to be unfair or disappoint his supporters by endorsing any one person. He has said he likes Newt (I think best), Santorum and Perry, all.
Yes, if RuPaul would stop taking up so much oxygen, I think Newt could beat Romney yet.
Good point!
“Carolina corn is better than Iowa and Midwesterners don’t know the first thing about BBQ lmao.”
Now, wait just a minute - my daddy (up close to Iowa) still raises the best corn and I’m in Kansas City (bbq par excellence) - them’s fightin’ words! LOL
Uh, I supported Cain- but given the nexus between Newt and Cain (female problems); I don’t think Newt wanted his endorsement- just my opinion.
It’s just my guess, but I don’t think Todd would have gone for Newt— if Sarah wasn’t thinking along the same line. If Romney wins, Sarah is out of the loop for 8 years. With Newt, she gets energy secrtary for 2 years, and then in 2014, she can run for Senate in Alaska. Just conjecture- but I don’t see her viability, even as an commentator, if she’s totally ooutside the process.
Unexpected!
There IS no better corn than Iowa corn, anywhere. Anyone who thinks differently has obviously never had Iowa corn.
Bolton wants BHO defeated at all costs (and he said as much on Greta), but he’s one of these who seems to really believe that Mittens has the best chance of doing that - probably because of the recent primaries, polls and trending.
But I was very, very disappointed.

If you find social conservatives to be “crazy”, then you’re posting in the wrong forum, my friend.

If some get upset, then so be it. What does Cain really have to lose at this point? He’s no longer running.

I think I know who he is... Isn’t he the dude who sings “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You”? :-)
I don’t know what interview you saw, but Palin jumped right on board criticizing Romney’s tenure at Bain. She is as much a populist as any Republican. After all, she went after the oil companies in Alaska for a much greater share of the oil profits. The idea that big business is “looking out for us” is ludicrous. Freedom means a lot of things, including having to watch your back in a dog-eat-dog world.
The Bain stuff back fired! The Gun control, abortion stance his tax increases and the number of jobs he said he made is starting to take a toll on Romney!
I'd be surprised if 51 blacks in the entire state voted for Gingrich or Romney. Someone must be polling blacks for their perspective on the Republican candidates - not their voting preferences. 90+% of that vote will go to Obama, guaranteed.
One of the very underreported things so far has been the Mormon Church’s history with blacks. It’s not too pretty. I’m sure many blacks are aware of it.
You might be surprised. The Mormon world might as well be on the other side of the planet, as far as most blacks are concerned. I grew up in that community, and had absolutely no awareness of Mormons, until I was fully grown. Even then, I was in my 40s before I even knew a little bit about their history or religion.
And I'm a guy that reads.
Welcome aboard the Newt Train! :~)
I'm pretty sure those stats were drawn from the perspectives of black voters on the Republican race - not their voting preferences (which are going to be for Obama by 90% or better).
“Santorum ... Crazy social con.”
Why would you say something so dumb?
“he needs to do the honorable thing, bow out and immediately endorse and go to work for Newt Gingrich.”
Hope I’m wrong, but I predict Santorum will endorse Romney.
I think Perry will support Newt, though.
One of the very underreported things so far has been the Mormon Church’s history with blacks. It’s not too pretty. I’m sure many blacks are aware of it...and possibly looking to let Romney know how they feel.
LOL, this post tops it all. Of sample of 22 blacks, incorrectly tabulated, you are ready to indict, convict and sentence a man based on a leftist concept of collective guilt.
First, it is 1.7% to 50.9 If you round, you round honestly. Rounding 1.7% to nearest integer, as you did, I get 2, and that is double of 1 that you get.
Next, in a sample of 22 blacks, 1 person counts as 4.55%. So there is no such thing as 1.7%. Unless the polling company was counting the sole black supporter of Romney as 1/3 of a person. That;s not even 3/5 that the slaves counted for...
Can we have a little more honesty, please?
