I listen to Rush almost every day. I have never heard him endorse or campaign for Mitt. I think he likes Santorum, but doubts he could win the general election. Attacking Romney by attacking capitalism and big business was a big mistake by Newt IMO. That’s the liberal/leftie thing, not a GOP thing.

I want a strong leader, with a proven record of accomplishments and a clear vision for our future. I am not looking for a Reverend, Priest or Rabi or some weirdo mormon. I want a president that will turn this country around intelligently and quickly.

I will continue to support the one man that I believe in my heart and head can turn this country around and set the course for my children and grandchildren to have a better future........ that man is Newt Gingrich.

Sarah Palin had David’s annointing.

Still does, should she choose to apprehend it.

Is S.C. an open primary state as well? Why does the GOP allow open primaries to begin with? Talk about instant suicide.

Gee, why bother with the other States, let NH and SC decide the nomination.

Fact is, this primary system is a sham and I will not vote for Romney.

I like Newt, but will vote for Romney if I have to. I can’t watch BO and the Mooch turn hard left and not have voted against it. Anyone but BO, Valerie Commie Jarrett and the Mooch. They have got to go no matter who it is or our country is lost. Not voting is a vote for the Communists.

TOGETHER WE CAN SOLVE IT. :D

Ooooh.... the dreaded CAPS!

You're failing, Ben. I've been posting Santorum's abysmal voting record for a couple of days now, and all you do in response is post snarky comments, cheer leading, or navel-gazing theories about why you think Santorum has a ghost of a chance of winning this thing.

Your guy's (real) polling numbers are reverting to trend, and this is causing you to desperately scream out for support for his candidacy.

Face the facts. They are what they are. He's not coming back, because most conservatives have never supported the guy all along, and he's never given most of us a solid reason to give him a second look, or to change our minds about him.

You can keep waving your pom poms for him, but it's doing no good. He never had a winning base of support to begin with, and he's gaining no traction now. This race is realistically down to two men -- Romney and Gingrich. Period.

Throw your support to one or the other. That is all.

I can't see it falling out any other way short of direct intervention by Jesus Christ.

I agree.

We need to support whoever is the GOP candidate.

Newt needs to start going after BO again and hard. That’s what pushed him up so high early on. That’s what people want to hear. Calling BO a radical and explaining what he has done will get Newt the votes he needs.

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat. I think you got him.

You'd think so, but I've posted Santorum's voting record to that guy several times, and he just keeps coming back like an undead zombie.

Apparently, some folks (like libs) are impervious to facts.

I agree. We may not get perfect, not even close, but we have to stop Obama. I’m afraid of a Romney candidacy though for other reasons. He did a crap job of defending himself on the Bain issue, what’s he going to do when O hits him. The other piece of this is that the press is busy defending Romney right now because they want him to be our nominee. But they will turn as soon as he’s nominated and there will be no defense just hit after hit.

I’d rather have Newt because he’ll fight back and fight hard. So I’m praying it’s not Romney because I fear we’ll lose.

Newt managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible: Making Mitt look like a strong conservative by attacking capitalism.

Newt was always self-destructive, never more so than here.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online from January 10-13 with a sample of 995 South Carolina registered voters. It included 398 Republicans and 380 Democrats.

No wonder
