Before you reply Huckabee was still in the race at the time.

Did it scare the daylights out of you when Gingrich said the same thing after South Carolina?
I think Newt will win GA. I don’t think his chances are very good in the other states.
My folks are Christians who have been married over 60 years. They don’t like Newt. I believe it is his marital history more than anything.
They see it as a character issue.
I guess anything can happen, so we will watch Super Tuesday and see what transpires.
The media is in full tip it to Mitt mode right now. They will probably keep that up through Tuesday.
What good does criticizing one or the other accomplish, besides the good it does for Romney?
No one is an Andrew breitbart. We only got our one.
In defense of rush, had Andrew declared support for a candidate??
Amazing how some folks can become so invested in a voice on the radio that they throw aside all objectivity in order to sustain the belief that a guy w/his own broadcasting network and a huge private jet ...a man who takes off whenever he wants to golf w/the rich and famous at the poshest country clubs in the Lower 48 ...a man who maintains his private compound in the heart of one of the most heavily Democratic counties in FL ...is just one of “us.”
Rush is a great entertainer, though! ...and I applaud his support for the Marine Corps and Law Enforcement Officers charity he supports every year!!!
In talking about Santorum's win with the democrats, and Rush's Operation Chaos in the dem primaries, he said what he has never ever said before:
(paraphrasing) 'The number one reason for Operation Chaos was for the benefit of his program, to keep the primaries going and to keep his listeners interested and tuning in... and then he said the second reason was to bloody Obama.' he's never said that before but it was enlightening and alarming... and I wonder if that is what is going on now with a lot of these radio guys. it really hurt me to hear Rush say that..
What evidence do you have to support this claim?
Newt is actually more of a threat to DC than Palin ever was...he actually did cut back Federal corruption and growth.
Until now he hasn’t really attracted much attention as nobody ever really considered him a seriuos presidential possibility.
“Rush stradles fences for personal gain designed to avoid agitating the fewest members of his audience as possible, while still maintaining his self identified “cutting edge”.”
He literally just said this is the exact thing he refuses to do just yesterday.
/golfclap
Rush was a big anti-Gingrich/pro Romney factor in the national “Bloody Thursday” effort to save Romney in Florida.
Looking at it another way its reassuring that he has chosen a conservative format to accomplish that.
I'm deeply suspicious of the sincerity of many of the hosts I hear on the radio (Rush isn't one of them) but if their program helps to enlighten the public and forward the conservative cause, who cares.
James Otis probably had ulterior motives for his 'no taxation without representation' crusade, but we should be damn glad he was around, regardless.
Iowa : Romney 65% N. Hampshire: Romney 81% S. Carolina : Gingrich 59% Florida : Romney 59% Nevada : Romney 70% Colorado : Romney 73% Missouri : Romney 100% Minnesota : Romney 61% Maine : Romney 85% Arizona : Romney 75% Michigan : Romney 86% Wyoming : Romney 79%Average for all states: Romney 73%, Gingrich 27%.
Meanwhile, Wyoming is now another state where Santorum came in 2nd, and if you add 4th-place Gingrich's numbers to Santorum, they BEAT Romney.
There has yet to be a SINGLE contest where Gingrich beat Santorum, didn't come in first, but adding Santorum to Gingrich puts them in 1st place. In other words, Gingrich has yet to prove he can capture the Santorum voters and beat Romney.

That is all true and is why I stopped listening. Can’t rewrite that. Now, who lives in Real-ville.
Are you saying we need a hard-hide reformer and not another team player? Someone wrote me that yesterday and it made me laugh... the aforementioned person is taking daily baby steps toward Newt and away from Santorum... Newt can do this!
Santorum sucked up to Barbra Boxer and Hillary in actual legislation that they worked on together.

That’s the difference between a commentator and a leader. Andrew Breitbart was always a leader. A man who “kicked doors down” for the sake of the truth, at great personal cost to himself.
That’s a man. That’s a leader.
