The HUGE MANITEE
Posted on 03/14/2012 9:04:34 PM PDT by true believer forever
It’s true that in reality, the “win” didn’t change the delegate count all that much. Give or take, all candidates still split the delegates about 2:1 for Santorum. And it’s true that there are clearly enough “winner take all states” that play to the Gingrich game plan that he could still get to the convention with the most candidates, none having 1,144.
But it is also clear to me after analyzing the data, I must intelligently weigh the situation for what is the best prospect to beat Obama and sell conservative policies to the American people to save this Republic.
So, I am announcing that I, PolitiJim – Speaker supporter – am calling on Newton Leroy Gingrich to quit.

~ Newt Gingrich
If Newt quits, Adelson is going to give all his $$ to Romney- who will destroy Santo-rum.
Newt knows what he’s doing.He doesn’t want Romney either.
you’d be better off calling on Adelson to quit giving him money, cuz Newt is going to stay in as long as he is able to do so. Maybe on his own dime, even.
Idf either Mitt or Santorum get the nomination I will write in Mickie Mouse!
I didn’t like the name of the article, because I thought it was dishonest, but I couldn’t change it, but you need to read the article, it is very good and Pro-Newt:
more excerpt:
“I appreciate the service of Speaker Gingrich and all he has done for the conservative movement.
And I must now ask you to quit. So,…
Please quit playing around the fact of your accomplishments of the past. You have demonstrated more humility and honesty FACTUALLY than any other candidate in this campaign – but we need more of your forcefulness as you did at the close of the Alabama Forum when asked WHY Alabamans should believe you can get elected….
I continue to believe you were made for a time such as this.
I continue to believe, that not only are Romney and Rick kindling for the Axelrod machine, they would have no idea of where to start to replace, reform and resurrect the liberties already lost in our Republic.
I continue to believe that God has given you Grace for this time. And as we know, He will often back you up against the Red Sea seemingly doomed to drown. You of all people understand the greatest victories come from the darkest hour. You often talk of Washington’s winter of 1776, when the troops had dropped to a couple of thousand and many of them with no shoes, frostbite and bloody feet.
We are with you Newt. If we have to keep fighting on bloody stumps in the dead of night for what we KNOW is right. If that is what it took to start liberty’s lamp, we can do no less to makes sure it is relit.
There is an even better story of the King David’s best friend Jonathon. The Goliath-affiliated Philistines had surrounded and terrified the Israelites to the point they were literally hiding in caves and holes in the ground. Like Washington, he was under equipped and outnumbered. Only he and his armor bearer ended up standing in this valley to the right with garrisons of Philistines peering down on them from an unassailable position above. All he had was courage, and a faith in God.
Jonathan said to his armor bearer:
Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from saving by many or by few.
Now where Jonathon got “a few” from just he and his armor bearer – we won’t know. I’m sure the armor bearer was wondering the same thing. But that wasn’t his position as a soldier. They had no reasonable hope of making it up the steep incline to the garrison – let alone defeat a mighty army by just the two of them. And even envisioning an attack uphill, against an army of so many, with inferior weaponry and disadvantage, this armor bearer said to his leader, what we say to you.
Do all that is in your heart, Newt. We are with you.
And that moment in history turned out very well too:”

He wrote another called, Dear Speaker gingrich… which is just phenomenal, and which I have posted already:
This may be one of the most important articles you will ever read about Newt Gingrich, and there have been many. It takes 15 minutes to read (I timed it). Surely, in perilous times such as this, we can each use 15 of our minutes to learn and understand more about a great leader.

“Idf either Mitt or Santorum get the nomination I will write in Mickie Mouse!”
Why with regard to Santorum? I think he would be a slight improvement on Bush 2. I am not trying to be contentious I just don’t see him as a big deal one way or the other. Basically a status quo space filler kind of guy.
If you write in Mickie Mouse, you might just as well cast your vote for Obozo. Such stupidity is what brought that feckless marxist into the White Hut.
What’s a PolitJim and why should we care?
No offense.
Pay a visit to his site, he has written some excellent articles in favor of Newt - far beyond the average, thoughtful, convincing and compelling.
Sorry but the first thing I’ve learned about “PolitJim” is he’s claiming Newt should quit?
Not exactly consistent with “excellent articles in favor of Newt”.
PolitJim should quit.
IMO.
oh, my, you’re too funny :) If you read any of the comment posts you would see that the article, despite its title, is very Pro-Newt, or if you went to the site, you would see it is filled with powerful pro-Newt stuff. try a linky - it won’t hurt. You remind me of me !
Why would it say "Quit"
I'm with and TRUST NEWT GINGRICH, he is the man as the article describes. Ready, willing, and able to lay down his life, liberty and fortune to the American cause. His time is now and we need him.
No DON'T QUIT NEWT, take it to Tampa, your going to make it fun.
it’s late, i’m tired, you’re making me laugh... but I don’t get the manatee joke, at all... if you are of a mind, please explain...
Because the author, who has written some very good anti-Santorum articles was trying to get Santorum supporters to read the article, and I was afraid to change the title headline.
It’s a Freeperism.
Pre-dates both of us, I think.
interesting move, he sure changed course in the article, it was excellant.
