followed by a decade-long career in speaking, creating public policy think tank

Working with Al Sharpton on education, Barney Frank on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Nancy Pelosi. Conservatives worked with: 0. Conservative causes helped: 0.




I don't care whether he stays in or not. I just hope next time he runs as a Democrat.

Here’s how to tell when it’s time for him to drop out. When Newt supporters tell him it’s time.

Naturally, Santorum supporters like me think he should drop out. And almost as naturally, Newt supporters think Santorum should drop out. All of us agree that Mitt should drop out. But when a supporter says his own candidate should step aside, that’s the beginning of the end.

I’ve noticed several such Newt supporters here on FR in the last few days suggesting it’s time for Newt to drop out.

They should all drop out, and Paul Ryan should step in. It’s completely frustrating that we’re using our JV team when this is a Varsity game that’s being played.

Regardless of who our nominee ends up being, we must HOLD HIS FEET TO THE FIRE and support as many conservatives as we can to fill the house and senate with like-minded people who will hold the line and then advance the cause of smaller, less-intrusive government.

Great article. You damn right he should stay in. Obama’s recent attacks on Mr. Newt should tell you all you need to know. Has Romney or Santorum given good enough arguments that Obama’s fighting with them? NO.

EAGLES UP MR. NEWT...STAND AND FIGHT...AND WE WILL STAND WITH YOU.

If you want Newt to drop out it can only mean you want Romney to win. I voted for Newt in Alabama, and those who didn’t most likely are uninformed voters. I had 2 people ask me who to vote for on election day. They had no clue. They sit in front of the TV and soak in all the propaganda, but never research the politicians who will be controlling their lives. Then they go vote based on the most prominent catch phrase they remember seeing on tv without a clue about their leadership skills. I have researched the candidates and Newt is the only one I could vote for.

Newt should stay in because Romney sucks. Santorum sucks even more.

I don’t really want any of the three running the country. But any one of them is better than what we have.
Of the three I guess Newt is my choice.

My candidate is cooling her heels in Wasilla.

When she dropped out of the running(never really entered) my enthusiasm for the 2012 election went from 100 to zero faster than a semi hitting a mountain emergency runoff.

Newt should stay in the race. He does scare me, but I do know, acquaintances of mine that are liberal are MORE scared of him.

Newt should stay in. He’s the only one of the 4 who does not have a sissy voice. He could really debate Obalgae - the other 3 hum and haw while trying to think of a response. Newt is straightforward. Newt reminds me of Winston Churchill. We need Newt Gingrich at this time in history.

With 175,000 Newt donors, if each donor gave an additional $200 each (on average) that would be $35 million.

The Problem as I see it with Romney is that he will be such a mediocre President that even if he does win he will be so middle of the road as to “not upset the apple cart” that the economy will not bloom and then in 4 years it will assure that the democrats take back power on the whole meme that the “economy didn’t recover”. Not to mention any GOP president is going to be so damned hated no matter how “moderate” they are. Mittens will get so damned gun shy that he will be ineffective and the MSM and the Democrat controlled media will smell blood and keep attacking him even as he retreats and this will paralyze him to what needs to be done to restore the economy and defuse all of Obama’s horrible regulatory actions.

Newt is going to be hated like hell anyways and HE KNOWS THAT, but he also knows that he will have the people who put him there behind even if the Media doesn’t paint it that way every night at 5:00pm. So therefore, Newt (who thrives on antagonism instead of flinching from it) will take the bold measures to recover the economy despite being thrashed every night on the MSM news channels. In Four years the MSM will be flabbergasted like their were on election night in 1984, because the man on the street will notice the economy improvement.

Mitt is a Flincher, Newt is a Clincher
