Newt needs to get the two Ricks to rally behind him.

If he can win SC, he’ll have big momentum going into Florida and could really knock Mitt down a peg or two.

I think the reports are real, how else can you explain everyone freaking out. Endorsements for Mitt are flying, and talking heads have their scripts and are pushing Romney hard and trashing Newt. Best of all Palin is putting the pressure on for Mitt to be more transparent. THE fight for our country is on, BIG TIME.

Some trying to create an of invincibility and inevitability, hoping that the sheeple will fall into line. Makes me sick.

All a pipe dream. The fix is in. Romney will win it. John Bolton is just the beginning. Expect many other prominent Conservatives will follow. The sheep will then hit the polls and vote for Willard. Somehow the establishment crushed the conservative movement yet again.

I saw his Town Hall speech this morning in SC. He was awesome. The contrast between him and Romney is like day and night.

If Perry dropped out Newt would most likely pick up those 5%

You might be right.

However, if Newt wins SC and goes into Florida with momentum. He could suddenly overtake Romneys small lead.

Bolton means nothing
He is a GOP DC insider .

It looks like Perry needs to support either Newt or Rick S and stop
Mittens.
Go out doing some good .

“However, if Newt wins SC and goes into Florida with momentum. He could suddenly overtake Romneys small lead.”

That is exactly what is going to happen.

Conservatives are going to tell the Establishment to go screw themselves and support Gingrich. Santorum is fading and will lose support fast...all to Gingrich...Perry’s support will drain off to Gingrich also.

That Yankee slit from Romney aint flyin in South Carolina...and if I were Haley, I’d start building a warchest because she will have a challenge in 14.

Go Newt !!

There’s no seafood like Maine seafood. Sorry.

You have not lived until you’ve had Maine batter fried clams, steamers dipped in butter and Maine lobster (under $4 a pound locally)

In the summer even McDonald serves Maine lobster rolls.

Don’t bet on it yet. Mitt has an inelastic base, it won’t expand. Endorsements he buys will not fix that.

I’m a huge Newt fan, but isn’t guy behind “Insider Advantage” an ex-Newt guy? Hope it’s true, but I’m skeptical.

If Mitt Romney wins the nomination.... it will be the death of the Tea Party.

I’ve got to say, with the country in the deep sh*t it’s in, thanks to “Bath-House Barry”, we need a bomb thrower (Nancy Pelousy called Gingrich this); someone who knows history of the United States, someone who knows how Washington works—I love Santorum, but we need a bomb thrower to take the helm when things will be at their worst in this country; and remember——Newt’s mom called Hillary a bitch when she did the “off the record” interview with Connie Chung that wasn’t off the record. Anyone with a mom tuned into the bitchiness of a Clinton has my support.

It is not a poll it is a survey and it was posted yesterday, that is why the mod pulled it, and it is not close to the results of the real polling firms.

rick P knew after Iowa he should get out - he went home with that in mind.

Did he get a call from mittens with an offer he can’t refuse - a plumb appointment - a hint at the VP slot - to stay in as a spoiler?

Both he and Huntsman can only serve now to assure the vote for Romney.

Where the he*l is the Republican party on this? OH WAIT! They’re probably the ones encouraging the spoilers to stay in - to protect their Prince Mittens.

Nope. If Mitt Romney wins the nomination....it will be the death of the Republican Party.

The Tea Party is not a party but an extension of what being American is. That will not go out of style and will not go away.
