Some elements of the British Press are unforgiving

Newt Gingrich took on the job-killing minimum wage. There’s no doubt this is a man of authentic principle and unyielding courage.

I may get beat up for this comment, but that was a very sad news conference sounding very petty and whiny. I have been saying this for weeks, Newt was on top when he was focusing his broadsides on the Obama administration and the liberal news media. He has aloud Romney to get into his head, forcing him to focus his sights on Romney and only Romney. If he wants to reclaim the lead he needs to reboot his campaign and do what he was doing when he claimed the lead in the first place. Back on Obama, Newt

I hope Newt goes for absolutely as long as he can down to the last minute and makes Romney’s life miserable, and I hope it pays off for him. I agree with a previous poster though—get back to concentrating on Obama and if he does go after Romney from time to time, attack him on his liberal record as governor not about the Bain stuff. That didn’t seem to pan out the way they had hoped.

I watched it live on FNC and thought he did a great job of responding to the questions from the reporters, many of whom were obviously trying to goad him into stating gaffs.

Bret Baer’s panel of Steve Hayes, Bill Kristol, AB Stoddard and Charles K all thought Newt did a horrible job. I couldn’t believe their reactions. Those idiot journalists/reporters and telepromter readers that live in DC and the North East don’t seem to know anything about what Conservatives think. They are all locked into their paradigms founded on the liberal principles where they have lived for so long. .....I was severely disappointed in FNC’s analysis of Newt’s presser.

by the time of the Texas Primary (April 3)

That is still up in the air. The date will apparently be moved back. The reapportionment district redraw by the 3-judge panel is still playing games with TX. (on Obozo's orders) After the appeals court smacked them down, they are still being Dems.

If he’s combative it’s because the press is overwhelmingly negative about his campaign. With every question you can hear the narrative that they’re spinning, and they obviously have no interest in discussing ideas or positivity.

Thanks for posting. I had read a couple negative articles about it and wanted to see it firsthand and judge for myself. Newt spoke on his own for about 4 minutes. The rest of the 22 minutes was responding to questions from the media. And clearly the media was smelling blood and sought to create a more combative and negative Newt. He took some of the bait but only to draw contrasts of him with Romney and express his disgust at the low level that Willard's political minions go to. These answers were not whining or excuse making. And the accusations were truth about Romney.

This whole thing was started by one of the reporters saying that don't the primary election results mean ... "the people aren't buying what you are selling". Newt responded that he didn't believe that and proceeded to explain the many factors involved in why Romney won in several of the states.

Newt just kept hammering back with measured and factual responses that CONTRASTED him with Romney, whom he does not think can beat 0bama so he's still going to keep campaigning, contrasting and fighting to win.

This was a defiant Newt matter-of-factly saying he intended to keep campaigning and win the nomination.

Gingrich’s Deep Ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
By ERIC LICHTBLAU

WASHINGTON — On a trip to Ireland in 1998, Speaker Newt Gingrich researched his Irish roots, discussed the prospects for peace in Northern Ireland and entertained speculation about his presidential ambitions. He even donned work gloves and blue jeans to help build a home in Belfast for a good-will project.

I’ve never listened to a Newt speech where he didn’t teach me something.
