Daniels is liked by the media because he is another RINO.
He’s the one that wanted to call a “truce” on social issues in the congressional races in 2008. He thinks we have more important things to talk about than politicians that want to murder babies and two men or two women that think they have the right to destroy the institution of marriage by wanting to get “married” themselves.
Will Newt go too far on the “Mittens is anti-immigrant” crap like his FL Spanish ads have said? BAAAAD for the party.
AB Stoddard on Fox All Star Panel seriously questions Romney’s panicked attacks on Newt and doubts it will work. Krauthammer agrees and warns Romney that he better be ready tonight. “Gingrich has a glib way of avoiding the message and addressing the messenger and it works”. Charles also notes that he calculates 1 in 7 in FL has already voted and can expect an 11 point Romney jump. However, Newt only would need a 2 point win with remaining voters to win the Florida election. With a 9 point lead, Romney is in trouble.
Charles says he call ‘em as he sees ‘em. This is what he sees.
Is Brian Williams the moderator tonight? I’m not watching it then.
Frank Luntz worked on a similar approach in a 'townhall' round table with the candidates before the Iowa caucuses. The approach needs only minor tweaking to eliminate Newt's ability to address the issue on his terms. Watch for it tonight. The demons of media are very adept at manipulating viewers and the weak-minded opponents of Newt. The scene can be set up in such a way that one doesn't immediately realize they have been herded into pondering the 'relevance of the issue', and that is how the scum and villainy work in media, with deacdes of experience through advertising results.
“This state will go Romney in the primary.”

Ergo my LDS neighbors voting for Mittens for his Mormonism and nothing else.
These are the same people who expressed outrage that someone would NOT vote for Romney because he’s LDS. What hypocrits!
Newt waited a minute, let the shouting heckler have his say, then he (Newt) calmly said to the crowd (I'm paraphrasing), "We have freedom of speech here in America, and it's fine that one of the two Romney supporters in this big crowd has his say."
The crowd went wild with applause and shouts of support for Newt!

Same here...
Dish Network, Eastern Timezone:
8:00 Fear Factor
9:00 Rock Center With Brian Williams
WTF?
Hell, he saved Leavitt from indictment over the oly scandal. What’s not to love?
Drink!
Ditto. More enjoyable to follow the debate here...any juicy stuff will turn up later on YouTube.
We’re not worried about mitt anymore. He’s toast.
This debate is about America and how zero is doing everything in his power to blunt and abort our greatness.
Take zero down to zero, Newt. Remember Dennis the Driver.
When Romney has kept his focus totally on Obama and the Obama team attack machine, he has done well, and I actually like him. That is one of the reasons that Mr.Newt has kept me on board with him, though he has strayed too much at times.
It’s cool. Dish’s programming guide is set up for the long haul, and sometimes doesn’t catch the overrides. I don’t think it’s intentional.
That teaching career paid off. LOL
Don’t think there is much he can’t handle.
Fox was just saying that he does NOT have a stump speach, but says what is appropriate for the people he is speaking to.....No teleprompter, no notes, just from his mind.
LOL! Yep!
Drink!
I want the $60 Victory Paxkage.1 Something wickedly strategic about having lots of peal and stick Newt stickers to paste everywhere! And a Newt coffee mug would make my mornings. Wearing the Newt baseball cap would get lost of questions at the range, too!
