Was bound to happen after Cain dropped out. if Perry had been doing great, I think he would have gone with perry. But I think he wants to help Gingrich out in Iowa with the endorsement.

Now there’s an endorsement that actually means something.

Reports of Newt's demise are greatly exaggerated.

Mr. Laffer will join Newt Gingrich in Storm Lake, IA Thursday for a formal press conference announcing the endorsement.

Art Laffer? The guy who in 2006 said the economy “had never been in better shape”, and got absolutely schooled by Peter Schiff??

>> Reports of Newt’s demise are greatly exaggerated. >>

And no one is exaggerating it any more than Charles Krauthammer - who on Fox News today said that the 2006 newsletter would continue to sink Newt while this Laffer endorsement was almost irrelelvant.

An impressive endorsement. Definitely improves Newt’s chances in the primaries, and the general elections.

Hate to throw cold water on things, but the capital (lending) markets are in such disrepair, whoever wins the WH is in for a big big turd-sandwich of continued problems.

If a Conservative wins, he will be “blamed” for the corrections (read: massive turbulence) necessarily to come for the next few years, as the spending binge is brought under control.

If a republican gets in, he or she will be “blamed” for the corrections necessary to repair the damage done by govt. (Rat) interventions and big unfundable programs promised, over time.

Maybe the Rats should win: at least they will have to ‘own’ and take the blame for all their decades of unsustainable fiscal policies.

What a joke of a post with due respect.

I would suppose that both Schiff and Laffer have schooled many folks over the years, but I find it laughable and childish and really sad that you would try to dismiss the cred of Laffer due to one disagreement he had with Schiff.

I greatly respect both men. I expect they’ve both stepped in it from time to time. With Youtube, we can certainly find it.

And BTW, who is Schiff supporting, if anyone?

I’m losing faith in the objectiveness of the Kraut. The newsletter was easily explained with a simple “I was proven wrong,” while the Laffer endorsement adds to the “stood by Reagan” ad campaign. Gingrich stood BY Reagan, stood AGAINST Bush I, and stood UP to clinton. Center for Transformative Health newsletter? Give me a break...

If a republican gets in, he or she could just say “in keeping the spirit of the previous administration, I inherited a mess, it is not my fault”.

Don’t cry yet, Obomney. There’s still hope for an endorsement from Ron Reagan.
