After the SC Primary, it might be time for the two "Ricks" to drop out and get behind Newt, if he places ahead of them next Saturday after the votes are tallied.

Ain’t it the truth!!

Plagiarizing me from previously:

The man who could stop Romney

I would ONLY want to see Newt debate “O”.

The prospect of debating Newt has “O” shaking in his shoes.

Mitt cannot and I think, will not SUCCESSFULLY debate “O”.

For the remaining Americans who are still undecided, the debate showdown is the ONLY thing that can save/ruin the “O” re election chances.

In his first Presidential campaign, “O” enjoyed a real advantage since he was the first minority candidate for that office… he got a lot of leniency from voters and debate judges.

NOT so now!! It’s a golden opportunity for our candidate to take “O” apart, in detail!!! (McCain couldn’t or wouldn’t, and that’s history).

We need to have our best man in the Presidential debates this time! (It ain’t Mitt)

Perry will probably be convinced to drop out after South Carolina, if he doesn’t do well.

I can see Santorum staying in, if he scores well amongst the Evangelicals and Catholics, so it might take some deal making to get him to get out.

Start at about 9:40. Really outstanding. I really don't see how even a liberal can disagree with what Newt said. He will crush Hussein.

Obama ain't gonna debate—it can only hurt him cause he won't have total control of the message—he has his billion and the MSM to do that.
Nixon debated JFK and lost—he DIDN'T debate Humphrey or McGovern and WON—crooks learn from each other.

If there are no debates Newt will be useless and with his baggage and Obama’s billion—worse than useless.

GO SANTORUM!

If Newt should pull off a win in South Carolina, I agree, both Ricks should withdraw and line up behind the Speaker.

If Newt is successful in derailing Romney’s campaign, on his short list of VP candidates should be Rick Perry, if for no other reason than to lock down the chunk of electoral votes that Texas brings to the equation.

Speaking of the electoral college, this is how I view a potential 0bama/Gingrich contest:

The Northeast? 0bama territory with the possible exceptions of Connecticut, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 0bama is likely to hold on to New York.

The Midwest? 0bama holds Illinois. That should surprise nobody. Even if 0bama were to sodomize a goat on live TV in the Oval Office, then decapitate it screaming ‘allah akbar’ and drink its blood, the criminal machine in Chicago would make sure he got the most votes in that godforsaken state. But for Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Missouri, Kansas? Tally them up for Newt.

The South? Newt sweeps the entire region from Virginia to Florida to Texas, a sea of red.

The West? Arizona and New Mexico are tossups, California, Oregon and Washington State are likely to stay in the ‘Rat camp while Jerry Brown rearranges the deck chairs, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Montana, North and South Dakota will go for Newt, Minnesota and Iowa for 0bama, Wisconsin for Newt, likewise for Nebraska.

This is just off the top of my head and I may have neglected to mention some states, but if Newt is the nominee, it is his election to lose.

“Your mileage may vary”

After last night, I don’t see how Newt does not take SC.

If Newt stops Romney in SC with another boffo performance on Thursday’s CNN debate he will doing the GOP and America an ENORMOUS service.

Rove just came of Fox and Friends to talk about Gingrich and last night.

Changed the channel—I don’t pay attention to Tokyo Rove anymore.

SC is the turning point/confirmation of every Republican candidate for pres. Bush 43 and McLaim both locked it up there. A Romney lost here will mean severe damage to his campaign. Iowa and NH aside, this will be proof that Romney cannot lock up the base of the party. It will become a two man race and this will be his downfall.

The only reason that Rommey got this far is because the field was fractured by 7-8 candidates and Romney had the best financed most effective campaign organization. When it gets down to two candidates there’s no more hiding.

I thought the day has passed that a politician would actually speak his mind and convictions without regard to Political Correctness.

Newt AMAZED me as he spoke his mind and the truth (the truth having been quelled under PC for so long).

I have always been in a quandary as to who to vote for as our candidate and last night, my choice was made. It will be Newt because he will be the one to take Obama to the wood-shed. No one else can.

I’d been strong for Santorum until I saw Newt last night. If he could repeat that strong performance in a debate against Hussein, i.e., not become psyched out or intimidated, I think he’d have a chance to win the general. I like that his answers are short, strong, and can be understood by anyone — even mentally challenged democrats.

In order to save our country we must first beat Romney, then we have to beat his clone in the White House.

Every time Mitt opens his mouth and speaks it reminds me of those late-night used car salesman ads we used to see in CA.

He reminds me of the mousy looking guy in the cheap plaid suit trying to sell a crappy car as showroom new.

Laura Ingram on Fox and Friends now—effusive in praise of Newt; thought Romney did not do well at all.

Gretchen Carlson reveals she is totally in the tank for the FauxNews candidate—over and over again.

I watched the debate last night and noticed the deliberate fielding of questions to Mitt and not to Newt. Of the few opportunities Newt had to speak, the audience went wild. Funny, because this morning all the news agencies stated that Mitt is leading by double over Newt, according to polls. I guess no one at the debate was polled. The libs are desperate for Mitt.
