Gingrich to Hold Post-Caucus Press Conference

Instead of the traditional election night party, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will hold a press conference after the Nevada Caucus on Saturday, raising new speculation about his future in the race. (snip)

Romney will be worse than Obama in holding Republican seats in Congress.

[TomGuy]

Who says Gingrich / Palin wouldn’t win.

Your scenario won't work. Palin as the #2? Been there. Why would she want to be #2 on any ticket again, when should could have been the presumptive #1?

Had she made her 'no' known earlier, maybe more/better conservative candidates would have jumped in to the race. Many waited to see what she was going to do. She delayed and delayed and delayed.

Romney is better than Obama
On Israel
On Defense Policy
On Immigration
__________________________________________

1 Israel

So just what is Romney’s policy on Israel ???

2. Defense

A 2008 debate

Mr Romney what would you do if we were attacked ???

Consult my attorneys...

3. Immigration

“We cant send them all back”

“We must find a path to citizenship”

Romney is better than Obama On Israel On Defense Policy On Immigration

Quite frankly, you don't know that. No one does.

We don't know what he is better than, because what he says and what he does are two different things.

From his term as MA governor,we know he will govern as a liberal and destroy the GOP in the process.

Romney will say whatever it takes to be elected.

It is not possible to do anything in this country without a strong political party behind you.
If your ego requires that everyone in the room agrees with you 100%, all the time -— nobody else will be in the room but you!
Elect yourself Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer and adjourn.

What if the newly forming Gingrich / Palin Tea Party rebellion were able to score Ron Paul, with some deal?

Imagine Gingrich / Palin independent, with Ron Paul as their publicly declared Fed Chairman.

Even Obama would freak.

[COUNTrecount]

Mitt has offered Newt the # 2 position, they both realize that it’s the only way to unseat the current regime, they will work together to ensure that outcome and save our nation from the utter disaster that Barry would do to us if he had four more years.

[TomGuy]

WE need to shake this up even more, with a Brokered Convention.

I strongly fear a brokered convention would come out with Jeb Bush. He is worse than the 4 running currently. We don't need Dynasty Jeb. The Bush's have already done enough damage.

[DJ MacWoW]

BULL! Romney IS Obama. He's a gun grabbing, abortion pushing, homosexual supporting liberal.

Romney appointed 2 judges in Massachusetts that were members of homosexual rights groups. Voila! Homosexual "marriage" via the courts in Mass. Think SCOTUS. You want him picking nominees? CONSERVATIVES do not.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I think Palin would accept a supporting role, in forming an actual pro-America alternative to the ossified mess the GOP has become.

Palin going Rogue, and changing history?

I’d betcha.

[TomGuy]

if Newt goes third-party

If he did that NOW, many will see that as sour grapes [shades of Pat Buchannan] and would not support him at all. He would be lucky to get 10% of the vote.

[georgiagirl_pam]

I think everybody needs to CHILL. Most likely he is just doing this to get some attention. The media has cut way back on covering him because they all believe Romney is, and always was, the inevitable nominee. I think he has something big up his sleeve and it doesn’t involve leaving the race!

[Lady Lucky]

if we’re going to lose to zero, may as well have fun doing it.

That's an interesting take on things. Third parties always seem quixotic and hopeless, but given the shambles the GOP is in, and the near certainty of defeat, this might be an opportune moment to advance a third party alternative. Something robust enough to become the second party while the GOP withers away. Because it's starting to look like that alternative in its infancy has a better chance of survival than the decrepit GOP.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Whatever it is it’s gonna be HUGH!!!!

..and SERIES!!!

[RoosterRedux]

It doesn't work like that.

Many of the same folks who don't like Sarah, don't like Newt and vice-versa. By adding their negatives together, you are double-counting those people.

Furthermore, Obama and Romney will be splitting the liberal and moderate/RINO side of the electorate.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I think everybody needs to CHILL.

Chill?

What's the fun in that?? :)

**************

An e-mail sent to reporters on Saturday morning set the Las Vegas press conference for 11 p.m. to midnight Eastern time.

Your assessment maybe on target or Newt maybe just thanking his supporters in NV and using this as an announcement that he’s on to the next state.

[RonnG]

There is no way Romney will win in November against Obama. He has lost the GOP base if he ever had it to begin with. Romney is just another McCain/Dole but without the charisma, purple hearts, or other compeling life stories save doing without cucumber sandwiches now and then.

I guess we can all hold our breath until 2016 when the GOP establishment will be shoving another RINO loser down our throats, probably Jeb Bush. After all, He will be 64 yrs old, out of work, and it will be “his turn” by then.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Add Ron Paul at the Fed, with Gingrich and Palin, and you’ll peel off voters currently fed up with both the RINOs and the Communists.

Paul would take Obama voters out of the Dems’ camp. He’d get the libertarians, and a whole lot of active service people.

Palin and Gingrich would draw voters out of the RINO establishment camp. Added together with the virtually outraged mindset a lot of Americans are in now, and you get magic:

Voila. A new party is born.
