Yep - Newt understands consrvatism...

He sure does. He knows how to throw the red meat to conservatives to advance his career while he's sitting on the couch and doing tours with liberals.

None of the above. Neither will get my vote.

Which of the two liberals would govern more conservatively?

This is being setup as a repeat of 2008. Which one in the primaries do we choose: McCain or Romney? That's a tough one. The question they should be asking is which one is less liberal than the other?

How about neither while there's still time?

Gingrich traveled a lot as a youth because his stepfather was in the military. His higher education was in the South. He taught in the South. He represented Georgia in congress, so apparently he was good enough for the folks who live there. He currently lives in Virginia.

“Carpetbagger” is a term used by Democrats against Republicans. Does not apply here.

Leroy was born and lived in Pennsylvania until he became an adult. Probably figured if he was going to live in the South then he better not talk like Ted Kennedy. But every now and then he opens up his big mouth and lets his true self out. He’s a fraud, vote for him if you want but count me out.

"There is no question that Gingrich is and would govern as a conservative"

Gingrich has either publicly supported or while in office voted for amnesty, healthcare mandates, global warming legislation, the establishment of the Federal Dept of Education, gun control, and subjugating US sovereignty to supranational bureaucracies

. He is and has always been a progressive in drag. If it's down to Gingrich, Romney, or Obama, I vote NOTA.

Exactly right and that record is there for anyone to see.

Romney looks like the picture that comes with the frame. Gingrich looks like he should be ensconced in royal velvet as he gestures at you with a half-eaten turkey leg in one hand and a sloshing goblet of wine in the other. Romney seems terrified of fully committing to any idea. Gingrich speaks as if he just text-messaged with God.

That's very funny!

Please don’t slander Pennsylvanians by saying we talk like Ted Kennedy. Pennsylvania now has a Republican governor and Republicans control both the House and Senate. Obama is highly unpopular here. Remember, it was western Pennsylvanians whom Obama was referring to when he accused us of clinging to our guns and religion and fearing those who are different from us.

Santorum is from Pennsylvania isn’t he? I’d vote for him if he got nominated. I’ve been in the Northeast all my life and I know a Northeastern liberal when I see one, it doesn’t matter which one it is. But there are a few good conservatives around, and you are right Pennsylvania has probably the majority of them these days.

We'll see. I think Gingrich will tank in two weeks, and unfortunately, if Herman Cain won't sue the fraudulent accusers for defamation...he is appearing doomed.

Nobody has any such attacks, yet, on Bachmann. My guess that they will try to claim, as the communists have for the last 12 years...that she is "crazy" and will see if they can bribe some of her former staffers to attack her.

As noted by Ann Coulter: That kind of smear campaign seems to be the main approach of Dennis Axelrod.
