Rasmussen ^ | 1/19/2012 | Rasmussen

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has now surged ahead of Mitt Romney in the final Rasmussen Reports survey of the South Carolina Republican Primary race with the vote just two days away.

The latest telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in the state finds Gingrich with 33% support to Romney’s 31%. Two days ago, before the last debate, it was Romney by 14 percentage points.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul now runs third with 15% of the vote, followed by former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum at 11%. Paul's support is steady while Santorum's support has dropped five points since Monday. At the beginning of the month, just after Santorum’s strong showing in the Iowa caucuses, he ran second to Romney with 24% of the vote.

Barry WILL be re-elected...

We'll see in a few months but I think the Kenyan Marxist is a goner and will be repudiated at the polls. Here's why.

White guilt will simply not be a factor this time around. The electorate voted for the token Magic Negro once but not this time.

Newt Gingrich, now the likely GOP nominee, will not just bloody the commie usurper's nose during the debates but will knock him out.

More than anything else, the economy remains in the dumps and the chances of it improving under the current regime are nil. The socialist programs simply aren't working and Obamacare has frozen any job growth. Even as spring turns to fall, the voters won't forget the bleak holiday season of 2011. Think of how truly miserable Christmas was from an economic standpoint. Shuttered stores in the mall, millions without work, meager meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years as well as children going without gifts.

The Obama economy is his albatross and Conservative activists can pound, pound, pound away in advertising to reinforce just how terrible things have become under his administration. Make no mistake, our Founding Father of Free Republic has made it clear that "Rebellion is brewing!". Jim has his finger on the pulse of what's happening across America and I'm inclined to agree with him. The nation's first affirmative action president is in the White Hut for just a few more months. I can't wait for a new Morning in America!

We all sure hope you’re wrong. But you do have a point. Over 40 million are on food stamps. Are they going to vote GOP?

"As a 60 y.o. woman, I disagree."

What about the majority of the women you have encountered in your lifetime?

Smart women will want to know more about her and I think the following quote tells me more about her standards or should I say morals then it does his: “Newt Gingrich met Marianne Ginther in 1981 at a fund-raiser. She was 30. She had just broken up with a married man and father of three whom she had dated for some time. ...” It should probably be reworded to read “Marianne Ginther met Newt Gingrich in 1981 at a fund-raiser. She was 30. She had just broken up with a married man and father of three whom she had dated for some time. ...” that way it takes the emphasis off of Newt and on her and what she stands for. I still ask, what is it with these woman, who seem to prefer to date married men or should I say prefer to date other women’s husbands rather then single men? It takes two . . .

It is said that the 2nd wife, had just broken up with a married man, who had three children, just before she met Newt. And I say “met” because only the two of them knows who enticed or tempted who first. If he is to be judged for committing adultery then so shouldn’t she. Adultery is not a singular sport.
