As a member of the FL forum, I have seen Surfer’s comments, but we are not the same person (that is unless I have some strange schizophrenia that hasn’t been diagnosed correctly yet)

I see you’ve adopted resorting to emotion, typical of liberals to make a point your facts do not support. I see you didn’t contest anything I said about FL, which I know you know is true.

Funny you mention counties. Okay, please show me the Swing/Blue Counties that Newt won in FL that voted for Obama in 2008. I show only (2): Alachua (Home of UF) and Gadsden (largest AA concentration inf FL), both highly unlikely to be carried by the GOP nominee in the Fall. Any of the GOP nominees will easily carry the rest of the counties Gingrich carried. Look at the 08 Florida Election results for the Panhandle: this area really did not like Obama, it’s one of the few places where McCain ran as many as 8 points better than Bush. Unfortunately, the North is not where the population centers are. And like I did mention in my previous post, the reason Santorum has not carried any counties since IA has nothing to do with his favorability ratings. It’s due to voters buying into the notion that this was a two-man race and that Gingrich was perceived the stronger candidate based on debate performances (which has been put into serious doubt since the Florida debates).

Santorum, meanwhile, carried over 15 counties that Obama carried in IA, counties the GOP must win to offset the liberal East IA. These were all counties McCain lost in 2008 and Gingrich barely matched McCain’s percentage in these 08 IA Caucus results.

In the 2008 General Election, Santorum would carry North FL easily. He would also do better in the I-4 corridor and South FL because his support is not burdened down by a gender gap. You still have not mentioned given the current political demographics of FL how Gingrich closes the gender gap sufficiently to carry the state in the fall barring the selection of Rubio/West.

Nice caps. Like all people that use liberal tactics such as referring to people as “stupid”, I challenge you to call into Mark Levin, write Michelle Malkin, or David Limbaugh and repeat what you just told me to them. After they rip you a new one, come back and complain about how much a RINO those people are. /sarc

give it up and I told you the next time there is a meeting or a convention then we can meet and you can tell me how much of a liberal I am alright.

Infact why wait I get around the state a lot so why not tell me what city or town you are in and I’ll let you know when I get into town.

your problem which gave you away was you same words, same talking points etc.

We’ll meet I am sure of that.

LOL...now I have two id’s. I am sure Jim can confirm we don’t share the same IP address, etc.

Manc you’re losing it man!

There are many people that view Santorum as the “truest” conservative of the bunch and we vote our conscience.

If you want to buy into the Gingrich ever-changing story then go for it - it’s your right and how our elections are supposed to work.

If we want progressives out of our government we need to stop voting for them - its that simple.

Teddy Roosevelt said it when the Bull Moose party failed. He said we progressives need to infiltrate both parties so that in 100 years people will NOT have a choice.

If you can’t see that possibility then you just have a clear disregard for history.

This election is about conviction and conscience, it is about God, it is about the American idea.
