Since this is an AP wire, I believe we are allowed to post links only, right?

Beckel just said on The Five that he knew “for a fact that ‘they’ went to Adelson and asked him to stop giving Newt any more money”.

Gettin’ dirty in the drive to eliminate Newt, folks. He scares the status quo way too much.

He’d be great for the republic.

“If Newt joins forces with Rick then I can admit I was wrong, but until then I’m thinking that Newt’s desire to stay in can only be to help Mitt.”

Newt really believes he’s the best one for the country (which he is), he badly wants to win this, and there’s some pretty obvious bad blood between him and Mittens over MR’s dirty tactics which threw him for a loop in the FL debates. His eyes were flashing with genuine anger over that.

that makes absolutely no sense at all, except to Santorum supporters

“Newt and Rick just debated a few days ago. Enough is enough.”

No, they didn’t debate. It was a “forum” where they were onstage separately, Santorum going first. And to my calculations, Santorum took up more than half the time. Newt wasn’t on all that long.

What’s wrong with debates? The bulk of the previous ones had so many candidates that some got hardly any time at all. At best, there were only 30 second and 1 minute soundbites. Debates would be most interesting now that there are only three (Ron Paul doesn’t always want to participate).

I find that people learn a little more with each debate.

Yeah. Newt is the genuine definition of a winner. Just look at all that winning he has been doing.

Newt Purple, Rick Green, Milt Orange and Paul Yellow

Is this the strategy he plans on using to take on Obama in the General?

Look, I know she’s abhorent ...but to me, this picture does not condemn Newt to me like it does so many others.

It should if you are a Conservative. That couch those two are sitting on was paid for by AL GORE. Look into who "WE" is and what they are about. It is a Gore Leftist group running on the flawed premise of Man Made Global Warming proven to be a hoax. The rest of your argument about clean air, clean water and fluffy puppies is a straw man. No one is calling for the opposite and there are no Love Canals around that you can point to where we need the "All work together".

You are buying into the flawed premise that the Left has been trying to sell for decades much like Newt has. This philosophy kills people. Look no further than the folks dying because the effective DDT was outlawed thanks to the Environmentalists bible by Rachael Carson "Silent Spring".

I just wonder if it was the other way around and Santorum won two states would the Newt people be so easy going about this.

Surely you jest. Newt started calling for Santorum to drop out after SC for crying out loud. I remember calls here after NH for Rick to leave the playing field.

I am supporting Newt, if he drops out, Santorum is no where on my list. He should be thrown out of the republican party for what he did in MI. He is no friend of Kasich or Scott Walker. Both these Govs. are in the fight of their lives from Big Labor.

And the moral vanity brigade has demonstrated its competency how?

It hasn’t.

Good grief, Newt is the only genuine Conservative in the race.

Newt’s taking the heat Santorum would otherwise be getting....He has to stay in to keep the attention from SAntorum ...(though Santorums not my guy)...otherwise the Romney Machine and all the other machines working against Newt will come down hard on SAntorum.

Nice graphic. Where did you get it?

Of course the Newtbots will be here shortly to pooh pooh it and point out that most of the green counties are flyover rural areas. But ignore the fact that most of the purple areas are as well.

Went to the link and couldn't help but notice this remark:

Participants: Still awaiting campaign responses to invitations

It is March 15. If they haven't responded by now, do you really think they will?

And an Oregon venue? Their primary isn't until May 15. Do you really think Santorum and Romney are going to abandon the campaign trail and fly off to Portland now? Either Newt will end up debating himself (and possibly Ron Paul) or Rick and Mitt are a lot dumber than I think.
