This is a longish clip from Reuters in which Newt talks about the Iowa race. About two minutes in Newt makes clear that he’s not very pleased with Romney. Asked specifically why his appeal is limited to 22-23% he replies that Romney is a a moderate pretending to be a conservative then adds “people aren’t that stupid.”

Between carrying the flag for amnesty to illegal aliens and his kissy kissy video with Nancy Pelosi on global warming crap, I am not sure why Gingrich is running around saying that he is more Conservative than Romney is.

There are PLENTY of issues/baggage that Gingrich should cause alarm for Conservatives, it's just that people are too quick to suppress them in ANY discussions.

Well, it is interesting and extremely nauseating at the same time.

Yep, thats a curse. LOL

I happen to agree with you, but saying that will get you flamed to within an inch of your life around here these days.

Having said that, I'd vote for Newt over The One in a heartbeat if he were our nominee. I'd vote for anyone of them if they were our nominee. I'm far more concerned with getting the Kenyan Marxist ******* out of our WH than teaching RINOS a lesson.

But then, that's just me.

Newt has been as high as 40%. Romney can’t get over 25%. Newt will be back up when the lightweights disappear and Mitt wil stil be at 25%.

Perry has been as high as 40%. What makes you think Gingrich is ever coming back?

[ez]

He still leads the national polls, and leads in more states than anyone else. He will have the conservative votes of Bachmann and Perry soon, (20%) and Santorum after that. (15%). By the end of FL we will have a three way race with Romney, Paul and Newt.

The Iowa race?!? Why does it always have to be about race with you right wingers?!?

[joke alert]

Thanks Nachum.
