“like to see a Newt/Perry ticket.”

Yes, that would be an excellent team.

Oh, I like that, order66:

.... he’s the only candidate who’s at least reasonably conservative on all 3 “legs of the stool.”

Mitt is liberal on social issues.
Santorum is liberal on economic issues.
Paul is liberal on foreign policy/defense.

Newt’s imperfect, but at least he’s one of us.

I certainly hope that Newt makes a comeback, he is the only true conservative on both economic and social issues.

Mitt and Rick go to “play it safe” mode, dodge debates with Doctor Newt.

The RCP site is bogus on delegate counts,

for example, while Colorado and Minnesota have had their "beauty contest" caucuses, They still have NOT elected their delegates to Tampa. Both states go through a complicated multi-tier delegate selection process and a candidate who draws a bunch of neophytes (read "Santorum"), will usually have a harder time getting delegates to the top tier.

In Colorado,the party makes you pay (at the caucus, no credit cards) to be a candidate for delegate to the next level, lots of Rick's people didn't know this and left their checkbooks home. He'll still get a lot and COUL get a plurality, but I doubt it......he certainly will not sweep.

"watching the world situation right now, I would surely hope they will once again make Newt the front runner."

Yes, and you know if we are going to be facing more touchy military situations in the next few years, maybe Newt should pick Allan West for VP?

Newt at a LA speech yesterday said that we need a national dialogue about radical Islam. Allan West understand radical Islam and can communicate our problems with it cogently. It would be the perfect job for his Vice Presidency -- to educate the electorate.

West has combat and military leadership experience. He would add military gravitas as well as the coolness factor of putting a black guy on the ticket.

And West is form Florida, which we need to win.

you said - “Washington insider” who knows where all the bodies are buried.

— For some reason the first thought that came to my mind was of Vince Foster.

7 posted on Thursday, February 16, 2012 5:44:19 PM by duffee: “Fairly recently the DNC put out an ad that’s on You Tube titled “Newt Gingrich the Original Tea Partier” their attack ad shows how far out of touch they are, it did show that Newt has supported Conservative and Tea Party principles for years before the modern day Tea Party. To Conservatives the ad comes off as very pro Gingrich.”

Link, please?

The highest honor that can be paid to a propagandist is to have his opponent see the ad as an accurate depiction of what he actually believes.

Bottom line: If we really believe the other guy is awful, let's try to craft our arguments and ads in ways the other guy will have to agree privately are accurate, even if he can't or won't admit that in public.

We have a conservative now leading Romney nationally and in the state of his birth, it’s a wonder people are still fixated on Gingrich, winner of only 1 state so far.

Even better. Newt vs. Bill. Bill would love the limelight and the attention would vault Newt to the head of the pack. It would be ballsy on his part, to say the least.
