What do you expect the campaign chairmen to say? That their guy is dead man walking? I personally think that if Newt can't beat Romney in SC, FL is going to be near impossible for a win.
they are right on.. if this thing is going to happen it’s going to happen pretty quickly... Romney picked up voters lately who really aren’t all that enthusiastic for him but were under the assumption nobody else was going to challenge him.. Gingrich’s debate performance could swing a nice percentage of votes from all the other candidates (other than Paul) to make it very close
The smartest thing Santorum could do is use the momentum from Iowa for trying to get back in the senate, instead of wasting it on a no-chance for South Carolina.
You can fool some people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
That Gingrich is the only conservative to make a come-back from being up and then down in the polls, shows the true greatness of the man who will be the next President.
John Gizzi is one of the top political reporters in Washington (I would give the top position to Ralph Hallow). So, when John speaks, it’s well worth listening. If he says Newt is on the ascendancy, that means the backroom word in Washington’s inner circles is that we could well see a horse race in the making.
Could one debate make that much difference? Much depends on how well Newt was able to exploit his performance through adroit advertising.
