It will be interesting to see how Newt's Out of the Ballpark CPAC speech affects Santorum's place in the polls over the next week. I hope EVERYONE will watch both Santorum's and Gingrich's CPAC speeches and compare them, on both substance and visceral appeal.

Godspeed Newt Gingrich!

I saw Santorum’s I thought it was great. (Not Reagan great but wins elections against Obama great.) I won’t see Gingrich until later tonight.

I am interested to see who wins the CPAC straw poll. Maine should be interesting tonight too.....Ron Paul may take that. Santorum winning the South is incredible. See having principles pays off.

Are you really so callow as to actually believe Newt will do what he says he will do? Really?

There are a few women who knew him intimately, and accepted his most solemn promises who thought the same thing. If you think that said substantial fraction of the electorate hasn't noticed, I've got news for you. This is why, in instances when Newt wasn't on the ballot, Santorum beat Romney to a far greater degree when the converse was the case. Santorum's support splits equally with Newt and Romney, the opposite is not true, when Newt is out, Santorum gets the bulk of his support.

Where I'd love to see Newt is as Chief of Staff or Secretary of HHS. He knows the system and where the skeletons are likely to be found. Unfortunately, his preferred means are just as reversible as those he seeks to undo. In many respects, he is as autocratic as Zero.

Go Newt!! Donated again today to Newt.
Our country needs his toughness,wisdom and willingness to fight Washington elites.

I wouldn’t count Newt out in Tennessee. Freepers are much better informed than most voters, but even here I see a lot of running back and forth between candidates. Polls don’t change the substance of the issues we are facing, and we currently have only one candidate proposing real solutions on those issues and that’s Newt Gingrich.

Once the spotlight heats up on Rick, we may see a swing back to Gingrich. Santorum will not be our best candidate against Obama and the country can’t withstand another shallow American Idol Contest.

You mean all two dozen people that actually saw it?

You seriously think one speech that 99% of the electorate never watches matters?

I’ll bet all three of them wish they’d spent some time in uniform. Imagine how much more credibility any of them would have while speaking of patriotism and sacrifice. Sadly, that’s not the case.
