Is Newt-mentum returning?... Even if so, Gingrich faces two challenges: time and math… Romney’s wealth and Bain Capital have been THE story in the GOP race for the past 10 days (and counting)… Are the first Obama TV ads going up? If so, they will come earlier than the first Clinton and Bush ads did in their re-election years… And Dem convention goes from four days to three days, creating a potential speaking-scheduling problem.
*** Newt-mentum returns? There are some increasing signs -- though all of it anecdotal for now -- that Newt Gingrich is gaining some momentum three days before the South Carolina primary. First was his strong debate performance on Monday, from which his campaign cut a new TV ad. Second, the Romney campaign today is holding a conference call (featuring former Sen. Jim Talent and former Rep. Susan Molinari) with the sole purpose of hitting Gingrich, and we haven’t seen one of those from the Romney camp since Iowa. And third, Sarah Palin sort of endorsed Gingrich last night, saying per NBC’s Alex Moe: “If I had to vote in South Carolina, in order to keep this thing going, I’d vote for Newt and I would want this to continue.” Gingrich’s top spokesman responded to the Palin news this way: “We think it’s a pretty darn clear call to arms.” Is Newt-mentum for real? We’ll find out tomorrow morning from our brand-new NBC-Marist poll of South Carolina.

Zzzzzzzz
Exactly!
Your boy Neut is no different than Mittens - both liberal country club republicans, One’s a tree hugger (Neut) and the other thinks 0bama care is a good idea.
I guess you’ll be pulling the lever for the other side.
........my boy Neut...........yawn.
Another thing I've noticed aobut newters is that they're incapable of discussing issues. They always have to attack the messenger. Obviously because their boy is a liberal like McCain or Mittens or Bush. There aren't any candidates left in the race who have a conservative bone in their bodies except Ron Paul, and he's got real problems in the foreign police dept.
“But I think he’s watching his back now and wouldn’t trust Romney as far as he could throw him.”
Sarah Palin had the exact same experience with “former” Romney, now McCain campaign workers in 2008.....
No pol worth his salt will let Romney, or his people, anywhere his back.... Did I just call Romney a backstabber? You betcha, I did. Pure used car salesman sleaze comes to mind also.......
I remember a Newt who worked with Reagan.
The picture you post is accurate, but it is NOT the only picture of Newt.
There is only one "issue". And that is putting the most Conservative candidate in the White House.
The only perfect person died on the cross a while back. Of those currently available, who are actually running to beat hussein in the general, IMHO, Newt is the best bet. He does common sense better than any of them, and that will work wonders in the general.
You want to discuss past mistakes/failures, fine. Go right ahead. He's admitted it was a mistake to go along with that SF hag. Obviously you can't let it go.
I will answer your question with a question back. What is it about you Newt haters that think you are doing ANYTHING except handing the nomination to Romney. And, in your original comments, Newt does NOT run to the left in office. If anything, he runs to the left when out of office (hence your picture), but runs to the right while in office.
Well, I was just reading that Romney appears to have dredged up Gingrich’s second wife (now an ex) to re-run her 1996 complaints against him, so I guess calling Romney a used car salesman might be a compliment.
Actually, Romney’s not only sleazy but stupid. Who the heck cares what somebody’s ex says about anything? Especially nearly 20 years later.
Contract 1994, Neut the globull warming champion 2008. But what you on't know is that neut was a tree hugger from the getgo. Back in his West Ga College days he was very anti-business until he got bought off by Roy Richards. But unlike honest politicians, Neut didn't stay bought
I am looking it up.

Just something to think about. My niece is studying Chinese and was in Beijing this summer. It's so polluted you can't see the sun. To date it seems we exported all our manufacturing that causes pollution to the “emerging markets”. It will bite us in the butt in the end, but until then we enjoy cheaper products, less pollution and low inflation.
“Who the heck cares what somebody’s ex says about anything? Especially nearly 20 years later.”
Exactly. The only ones it will effect are those that wouldn’t have voted for him anyway. The story is an old one having first erupted in 1995. It could be an Obama campaign attack, more in ;ine with his and Axelrod’s style. Calm and measured Newt can overcome this bucket of mud.
2012 is proving to be as dirty of a campaign as I predicted last year. There’s a lot more come....it’s gonna be a wild and bumpy ride.
The way I see it is that Mittens is about as far left as you can get without switching to the Democratic party. Neut is about Bush level moderate with occasional flashes of extreme leftism, but has not committed to a hard left agenda, so there might be some hope. Santorum About as bad. Perry a lot further to the right if you ignore his Hispandering, and Ron Paul OK on domestic issues, but totally unrealistic on foreign stuff, although I’d like to see us pull out our support for a lot of the countries that just use us to line their politicians’ pockets.
