COMMENTARY | Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's rebound in the polls is real enough. The question is whether conservative Republicans are simply trying him out as the newest anti-Mitt Romney candidate, or whether he is about to be the newest Republican for the 2012 nomination.
Recent polls show the ex-Georgia congressman has made a tremendous recovery in the polls, passing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and ex-CEO Herman Cain with 23 percent of the vote, according to a Nov. 16 Fox News poll. Other surveys, such as the show a tighter race, but nobody disputes Gingrich's strong recovery from earlier stumbles. The question is how he got back into the nomination race.

If Newt wins those 4, we can rest assured that Zero need not worry about leaving office until January 20th.... 2017.
if newt wins all 4, voters will resist a coronation. Somebody will take advantage of being the anti-Newt and slog along until March 6th. That is, if Mitt drops out.
Some of Newt’s coalition is anti-Mitt people. If Mitt drops out, Newt would lose that crowd. MITT being in the race has created NEWT.
I so loathe this primary crap. At least with the Democrats, their base can be assured in almost every instance that a Marxist moonbat will get the nod, but we’ve got to work extra hard on our side to keep a f’ing Socialist from similarly capturing the nod. Makes me sick. Slick Willard, La Raza Rick, Naughty Newtie... ugh.
We had nothing but “politically experienced” people at helm in DC. And the country is in worst financial shape I have ever seen. And I am on Medicare, so I have seen a lot.
I am ready to try a non-political business type who has not only balanced his budgets but had to create surpluses (also called profits) in order just to survive.
Gingrich & Santorum have zero experience in running a real world large outfit. Perry is ditto, but I like his attitude of coming to DC with a wrecking ball, not a scalpel. Bachmann would make a great president but has no traction lately. Romney has business experience, but no way to tell which Romney shows up, with his major flip flops. Newt has no problem feeding at the trough of tax payer supported Freddie Mac. So that leaves Cain.
Libya or Uzbekistan is not the problem. It is 22 million unemployed, millions of foreclosures, Trillion+ dollar annual deficits and the gargantuan national debt.
Not anymore!
