Frustrating to watch Iowa- because Newt can't effectively reply to the attacks. (1) He doesn't have the funds- or, at least, doesn't want to expend them in Iowa; and (2) he can't go overtly negative, because his campaign is based on disspelling his perceived angry image.

In the article, he explains how he is going to more effectively reply starting to SC.

And most of it seems to be from Karl Rove and his pet Mitt.

“Politics has become a really nasty, vicious, negative business and I think it’s disgusting and I think it’s dishonest,” Gingrich told ABC New

Well, it is nice to see that politicians are finally figuring out what most of us have know all along. Politicians are really nasty, vicious, negative and disgusting...

I could easily vote for newt, not romney, but Newt, not huntsman, but Newt, but I would be very hesitant to vote for a Newt/Palin ticket.

“I’m going to survive, period. You’re talking to somebody who in the national polls is tied for first or first.

I place his odds at firsty/firsty

Newt telling it like it is which is going to piss off the Newt-haters even more.

Good!

What a coincidence. I heard one of Newt’s nasty ads on radio this morning. I have tried to give Newt a chance, but just when I am about to say YAY, he says or does something to kill it. And he is way too conciliatory on the #1 issue for patriotic Americans: illegal immigration. Newt is a self-contradicting chameleon, or as we used to say, a yo-yo.

For a minute there I thought Newt was going to break out into this chorus...

“Not only are we going to New Hampshire... we’re going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we’re going to California and Texas and New York! And we’re going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we’re going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaargh!”

RE :"In an interview with ABC News, Newt Gingrich accused his Republican opponents of lying in their negative ads and offering “no hope they will be any good as president.” “Politics has become a really nasty, vicious, negative business and I think it’s disgusting and I think it’s dishonest,” Gingrich told ABC News aboard his campaign bus in Iowa. "

He didn't know this before ? Did he think that Obama was going to play nice in the general election? Wasn't this when Newt was going to counter the negative (Obama) ads with his debating skills? Think of this as a trial run.

Not living in Iowa I haven't seen the commercials everyone is talking about. What do they accuse him of anyway?

This primary reminds me of musical chairs.
