Newt Gingrich’s Nevada campaign appears in disarray
Washington Post ^ | 2/1/2012 | Amy Gardner

Posted on 02/02/2012 6:25:49 AM PST by DM1

Things haven't gotten much better for Newt Gingrich .....

The former House speaker abruptly canceled a meeting with Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval ... Not even Gingrich's campaign advisers know why the campaign scheduler called it off, irking them and those in Sandoval's office who had helped set up the event.

.....

Other signs of disarray appeared Wednesday. Gingrich's schedule called for a 1 p.m. rally in Reno, but volunteers put out word that the event would be at noon — and that supporters should show up at 11:30. .....

PRobably not the best news for Newt. He really is going to have to get the campaign apparatus to run a heck of a lot better if he is going to have any shot at this thing

Ha I wish I worked for a campaign! You can say what you want but Newt has to get a better organisation in place or he will get nowhere. You can keep putting your head in the sand and pretend everything is swell but facts are facts. He doesnt tell his own campaign what his plans are cancels events and miffs off the locals
yeah you can win with that strategem sure thing

Yeah I know consider the source... still if he really is mucking up things like meeting with the Governor of Nevada and screwing up scheduled events he is going to sink fast.

and what does Trump have to do with Newt screwing up in Nevada? Yeah i saw that Chuck Norris endorsed Newt as well your point is what exactly? Trumps endorsement suddenly going to make Newt the Nevada frontrunner? Trump going to run the campaign now and straighten the ship? Please tell me how this corrects the campaign missteps.

Yes he has gobs of it
did he commit any with the endorsement? Adelsons 10 million didnt win Gingrich Florida with Newt babbling about Moon Colonies. the campaign needs to focus and organize. Money would obviously help but mostly if it went to the actual campaign for this purpose and not the Super Pacs which cannot coordinate with campaigns (at least officially) the most Trump could donate tothe actual campaign is something like 2,500
think that would be enough?
sorry this endorsement only gets you so far. he will need a heck of a lot more money in the actual campaign, focus like a laser beam and stay on message to right this ship. he has a real opportunity with Mitt saying he doesnt care about the poor. we shall see if Newt can capatilise on it.

Hey Jackass.

I’m calling you out.

All anyone need do is review your posting history and while you attempt to sorta act like you are a Santorum bot or you are above it all you often post about the “Not Romney” bunch like we are uninformed and ineffective...and irrelevant to the big pisture

and you are in New Hampshire or so you say...

your entire posting history is critical of Newt or equating him with his missteps as though he is no better than Romney

and folks here call you on it over and over and you parse it and keep going

yet every single time you get a chance you stir it up against Newt and never never ever criticize Romney ...and I am hardly the first to call you on this

I think you are yet another Northeastern What Culture War sort and No, to answer your question on another thread...Florida is really not much of a southern state any more because ambivalent at best folks like you and liberal at worst folks from where you dwell have streamed in since WWII destroying once solid demographics.

If I were the mods enforcing an anti Romney rule here I would look at you close. There is just too much posting from you steady criticizing and trying to demoralize support here for our closest challenger to Romney.

all the while nary a peep from you negative about Romney.

You are a dyed in the wool “Newt is not very Electable’ sort and have said so on this forum and you pop up with every single post on your history either criticizing Newt or giving tepid assurances you actually like the guy while you point out his every flaw

yet not a peep negative on Willard...when there is plenty

I think you are a Romney supporter trying to cover yourself and stir up crap here and demoralize folks

and when challenged you claim we are too “emotional” because we have confronted you

I agree....I think you are not here doing what you do by accident at this time...over and over daily

Hey Spanky
yep keep covering your ears and sing maybe everything will go away. Had you delved into all my other postings you would have noticed that i have stated that Mitts flaws are too numerous to mention.
dont cherry pick and be honest schmuck
All these guys are flawed one way or the other and if you think Newt or Rick or any of them is not then you are deluding yourself.

This is a nothing burger, but I’ll bet this pleases the morons who support Mitt-“I’m not concerned about the very poor”-Romney.

Yeah i know consider the source
if it is true then hopefully whatever is happening in his campaign gets corrected.
if he can make it to super tuesday he may be able to win some southern states and get back in the game. unfortunately this month doesnt look too friendly for him with the exception of Arizona most of it is “Mitt-Friendly” turf.
of course he may be able to turn Mitt’s dont care about the poor into something
time will tell with that i guess
