Newt will clobber Mitt in Virginia!
GO NEWT!
You got THAT right!
Based on his past dating history, Barack Obama seems to favor Pakistani guys like Penn, who was similar to Obamas boyfriend in college (pictured below), who possessed that exotic look our president loves.
He wins the debates and that is what is most important this election! Go Newt. He will have Obama peeing in his pants. I am convinced that Newt could come out and have sex with 3 woman in front of the media and everyone would still be voting for him. We need to get rid of Obama PERIOD!!!! He would destroy our country to shreds if he gets in another term. This is a life and death election.
We don’t want a brokered convention anyway.
If it goes to a brokered convention the elites of the GOP make the decision. And we know who that will be.
You can forget about one anyway. I think it was Rush I was listening to and he was telling why their can't be one. Wish I could remember exactly what he said, but I can't.
Newt is not on the ballot in Va, I believe. The clever RINOs in Va may have just made their delegation irrelevant. They may find themselves on the back bench at the convention.
This is about winning an election, not debates. FYI, if we nominate Newt, we can never talk about family values or the sanctity of marriage again.
If Rick Santorum finishes 4th in SC which looks likely he is done. He has no money to compete in Fl and will not be able to raise any. He needs to drop out next week and let Newt and Mitt duke it out for the nomination.
Agreed Santorum is a good candidate.I’ve grown tired of the he is in the tank for Romney crap. The same people said this about Bachmann and others just to show blind loyality to Palin/Cain/Newt.
The primary method of selecting a nominee is flawed. I also think the system for arriving at candidates is flawed.
I’m not sure how I’d do it, but I think getting back more to the Founder’s ideas prior to the advent of political parties is probably the most positive source of ideas.
“This a life and death election” Boy you got that right! Go Newt!
“Among women, Gingrich leads Romney 42% to 26%, followed by Paul with 16%, and Santorum with 13%.”
CANNOT BE SHOUTED FROM ENOUGH ROOFTOPS!
Respectfully,
Horsefeathers.
You seriously forgot the sarc tag on that one. Newt is not on the ballot in Virginia, Michigan and five other states but it has been deemed that he still can get the most delegates.
Designed to keep Newt voters home? Won’t work if it was.
What about the February primaries. Right now at least, Romney looks poised to take many of them, such as NV.
But, a big Gingrich win here could help change that.
I would rather risk losing with a nominee that agrees with me the majority of the time than “win” with a nominee that agrees with Obama the majority of the time.
Newt and Callista Gingrich live in Virginia and are registered to vote in Virginia -
Virginia is Newt Gingrich’s home state now
How can anyone keep Newt off the primary ballot in Virginia?
This is about winning an election, not debates. FYI, if we nominate Newt, we can never talk about family values or the sanctity of marriage again.
I am not sure that is accurate but if it is than we will focus always on economy and jobs. That gets the voters out in droves.
“Women for Newt? “
Yeah...what happened?
I thought we were all supposed to get the vapors and drop into horrified swoons at the mere mention of his name?
[maybe some gals finally got into those “alpha male” slap downs he’s been handing to pansy Moot]
