I watched the entire Newt Gingrich press conference!!! It confirmed in my mind that Newt Gingrich is not the “one”, not even close. It also confirmed my switching my support from Gingrich to Rcik Santorum. Actually, Romney, Paul, Santorum are all better candidates then Newt Gingrich.
I love Newt, but.....being objective, he has lost it!!! This “sour grapes” mantra he is now living by, will not cut it. He got slaughtered in Florida and Nevada (the current posted results for Nevada have yet to post the Romney votes in the “Clark County” slaughter, which will take Romney to between 50-55% of the overall vote!!!
I actually felt sorry for Newt last night. What he gave was the press conference that a pure novice would give, infused with his disgrunted and sore loser input. Worse then that, he had a clear shot at finishing Romney off in Florida an he blew every open opportunity he had. I also believe that Rick Santorum will soon replace Newt as the real alternative to Mitt Romney!!! Again, I’m sorry for Newt, but....he only has himself to blame!!!
I didn’t see the same presser you saw.
You have worded your reaction exactly the same as the MSM/LSM worded theirs.
THat’s not even my evaluation of it, much less would I attack Newt publicly even if I THOUGHT it.
It won’t help defeat Obama, to attack Newt and switch to Santorum.
It only hurts Newt’s candidacy.
The other goals of defeating Romney and Obama will not be met by attacking Newt and leaving him.
I listened to Newt and he was most passionate about the misinformation from Mitt during the second Florida debate. The message I got was that Newt will begin to dismantle the Mitt message in the next debates. Newt told how he held back his response in that last Florida debate. He revealed in the presser that the misinformation that Romney gave had him so outraged, that he did not have words for them. He revealed that he had never experienced such outrageous behavior in his entire political career. My thoughts were it was better for Newt to be shocked speechless at this early stage than to be speechless with Obama’s hogwash. I think Newt learned something and, if you were listening, he revealed that he was not going to let it happen again. It is something he took as an important lesson if he were to debate Obama.
If you listened very closely, Newt revealed that he is playing things very differently in the next debates. What Newt wants to do is make it more and more clear that Mitt is not up to the task to take on Obama. And, in the coming months it will be Newt’s job to show the American electorate that Romney is not up to the task to win the election or, for that matter, be our next President. At the same time, Newt will make the case that he is the only candidate that will lead America forward from the abyss that Obama has taken us.
And, Newt revealed that Mitt has an Achilles’s heel: he lies and when the American electorate catches him on it, which they will, he loses.
Newt revealed these things to me at his presser. He was very tired from a hard schedule, but he was passionate. That passion sounds “whiny” but that is the way Newt’s voice sounds when he is passionate about his convictions.
I have met Newt myself. He is a very humble person when you reach out to him as a friend. If you give him the look of an opponent, he is a warrior, which is just the man we want fighting for our freedom. He is just that man that God has given us . . . and, that woman, Sarah Palin.

I was gone all day Saturday. I stopped by my parent’s house late and they said “did you hear what Newt Gingrich said? he was just awful”
I didn’t ask her to elaborate.
I didn’t hear any of it. LOL What did he say that was such a turnoff?
