Doesn't he look like an old crook?

...."I have had grits before," he told a crowd at a Mobile cafe on Saturday morning, making a not-so-subtle knock on former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's joking admission to an audience that he was starting to like the favorite Southern food.
....The former House Speaker contended that was evidence of a larger problem facing his rival: "I figure if you don't understand grits, there's a pretty high likelihood that you don't understand the rest of the South, either."
...."We have momentum, but we haven't won," he told a crowd at his second cafe stop of the day - Mama Lou's in Robertsdale. "We still have to go out and finish the sale, we have to make sure, particularly in a county like this that has such a huge Republican vote, we need to make sure that everybody understands the opportunity."

Isn't Adleson the one who said he is fully willing to support Romney when Newt flames out? I also seem to recall one of his people saying they were only pushing Newt to make sure Rick didn't beat Romney. I know of no Romney supporter pushing Rick. The insurance guy backing Ricks PAC is 100% behind him. Maybe you should get your facts straight instead of making things up.

Great news!
Our idiot governor endorsed Romney.
I knew he would. I can’t stand either.
Holy cow, you must have been SO disappointed. But tomorrow will make up for it. Tell Newt FR is behind him all the way!
The establishment and the democrats fear Newt Gingrich.
This primary has been all about stopping Newt Gingrich, but he said he’s not dropping out.
So there.
GO NEWT!
I’m a Pennsylvanian and voting for my homegrown Yank Newt. ;)
Newton Leroy McPherson was born at the Harrisburg Hospital in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on June 17, 1943. His mother, Kathleen “Kit” McPherson (née Daugherty; 1925–2003), and father, Newton Searles McPherson (1923–1970),[citation needed] married in September 1942, when she was 16 and McPherson was 19. The marriage fell apart within days.
In 1946, his mother married her step-brother, Army officer Robert Gingrich (1925–1996), who adopted Newt.[11]
Gingrich was raised in Hummelstown (near Harrisburg) and on military bases where Robert Gingrich was stationed.
In 1961, Gingrich graduated from Baker High School in Columbus, Georgia.
They have for a long time...
As a result of the 1990 United States Census, Georgia picked up an additional seat for the 1992 U.S. House elections. However, the Democratic-controlled Georgia General Assembly eliminated the district that Gingrich represented, splitting its territory among three neighboring districts. Much of the southern portion of Gingrich's district, including his home in Carrollton, was drawn into the Columbus-based 3rd District, represented by five-term Democrat Richard Ray. At the same time, the Assembly created a new, heavily Republican 6th District in Fulton and Cobb counties in the wealthy northern suburbs of Atlanta—-an area that Gingrich had never represented. However, Gingrich sold his home in Carrollton and moved to Marietta in the new 6th.

Thank you very much.
Your governor endorsed Romney? That’s horrible.
My governor (Scott, I live in Florida) didn’t endorse anybody. My real regret was that Rubio, whom I liked a lot and helped elect, basically supported Romney. He didn’t actually endorse anybody, but he shot Gingrich down with Hispanics. I think he wants to be Romney’s VP...bless his heart.
Romney probably won’t be the candidate, and if he is, he most surely won’t win the general election. Bad choice for all the idiots who endorsed Romney.
Yes, Newt is resisting the GOP-E. Newt’s very confident he will sweep Mississippi and Alabama. :-)
I'm a Yankee from Michigan [though NOT a pin-stripe New York Yankee!], and I'm totally on board with Newt, will be voting for his delegate slate at the State Assembly in Colorado (where I now live).
At least one will, even if it’s write in.
I hope he wins Alabama abd Mississippi, but I’m not very confident. The ads are UGLY and some are positive and the campaigning by his rivals are in full force.
Only Newt’s robo calls have been positive.
I hope that works.

I hope you’re right, Humblegunner...
>> When was the last time he actually lived in Georgia? <<
I think it was 1998. Big house in NORTHERN Virginia ever since then.
>> they were only pushing Newt to make sure Rick didn’t beat Romney <<
Looks like that’s now the fundamental reason Newt is staying in. He must prefer Romney to Santo.
I got 15 in the three days before primary day from Romney telling me how bad of guy Santorum is. So did my parents. I got no robocalls from either Newt or Santorum, although my parents did.
Not by much. Newt is from PA and Mitt was born in Michigan. Both are Rust Belt states.
