Newt can quit first.
Newt still isn’t winning here.
Newt was in the 30s here before.
Not sure if serious here.
Why isn’t he recovering back to where he was is what I want to know?
If Newt cared about anyone other than Newt, he’d have already endorsed Santorum.
Lets just be clear here. Newt would be happy with finishing second if it means Romney wins.
Bumping that because it is the truth.
I actually think that his supporters might not go to Newt, because of his past cheating on his wives, and they wouldn't go to Perry, because he is so low in the polls. Afraid that they might go to Romney as the most electable, which is only a fable.
Hope Newt has enough money to ramp up Florida. As long as news media keeps having Newt on to explain the controversy over Bain, he gets to explain what the real issue is, as well as showing why Romney's record makes him unelectable. Free face time.
I am glad he's hanging in there. If he gets the nomination, he'll try to do another sweep campaign, like the contract with America. A winning message with everyone sending a unified message.
I am just going to pray that we get the best candidate to save America, and return us to freedom and our leaders to honesty, and reliance on divine providence.
Wait til the SC debates. They are as good for Newt as any ads Mitt can run. Of course, Newt needs more money. Newt needs to harp on Mitt’s romneycare and abortion crap.
3 out of 4 republicans want someone other than Mitt Romney as our candidate. That should be a clue to Rush and Hannity and Rove and the rest of Fox news.
RC, the only clue to them is- if Romney wins the nomination- they now have to engage in absoluite pallaver to conservatives—Rush “You know a moderate like Romeny is not my 1st choice, but we have to stand by him over Mr, Obamam.”
Thanks Rush- you establishment shill.
People remember the latest they’ve seen and heard. The negative ads hurt him badly because he was not in a position to respond. The bulk of those ads came after the Dec. 17 debate, probably Newt’s high point. Now, Newt is fighting back and for all that the debates last weekend were not good overall, Newt did well. The Monday night debate could have a big impact. In all cases, Newt is visible right now. That has its positive and negative impacts, but Newt generally does well when the lights are on him.
I can’t recall a more misguided analysis. After being counted out for dead twice, all Newt to do is finish a strong second...say within 5 points. Then all the conservatives will rally around him realizing he is our only hope to avoid the Romney disaster.
Should Newt actually win? Even by a vote?
It’s all over for Myth. All his millions and all his MSM support will have netted him nothing in the one state NO GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE HAS EVER LOST.
Nice try at psyops, though. I’m sure dirtbag Romney is proud of you.

I think we have a serious problem with the voting process in general. We can't vote for who we actually want, we have to vote for who can win. That problem is the reason Slick Willy managed to win despite over half the electorate voting for a conservative in both 92 and 96.
I wonder if the primaries would be a good place to experiment with a "preferential voting"-type system.
What can we do to help Newt or to stop Mitt? I find myself wishing that we had some young activists who have the time and means to go to S.C. and attend all of Mitt’s rallies to ask him pertinent questions about obamacare, abortion, gay marriage, etc. He seems to be getting a pass on all these issues. The Bain thing seems to be a boring diversion. I think he is happy it came up. Although, when I saw him on TV at a rally today he looked and sounded desperate.
Santorum is on C-SPAN right now speaking. He is incredible. He is introducing his wife and you can tell the genuine love for her. What a great family man and would make such a great President. I was watching Newt earlier and he said “Oh here is my wife”....it was an afterthought. Didn’t surprise me. He is not much for the family life. Anyway, Santorum’s birthday is 10 May which makes him a Taurus which is what I am. No wonder he is sucessful and moral. Most Taurus’ are. Go Santorum. Dump Newt who has LESS delegates than Santorum!!!!
One of the things that helps is when online newspapers run stories and allow comments, always respond. The types of reminders that I post on FR, I also post online at the newspaper sites. Lots of people read them and do take into consideration what the comments have to say. Pointing out facts and reminding people of relevant details on the candidates’ backgrounds all help.
It is interesting how many people forget Newt’s role in the Reagan revolution, his refusal to support Bush 41 on the Read my Lips broken promise, the ‘94 congress takeover, tax and spending reform, balanced budget amendments, leading the investigations into the Clinton crime syndicate, pushing the House Clinton Impeachment, and on and on. Comparing this to Romney’s single, poor term as governor of Mass., really gets people to thinking this campaign in a different context.
I’m not sold that even if we were to get behind Newt that he would win.
5% Perry needs to drop out and ask his supporters to get behind Newt. He’s holding Newt’s margin of victory in his back pocket.
We can only hope.
“I can’t recall a more misguided analysis. After being counted out for dead twice, all Newt to do is finish a strong second...say within 5 points. Then all the conservatives will rally around him realizing he is our only hope to avoid the Romney disaster.”
If he loses, it’s game over man.
