The endorsement from Tim LaHaye was big. Palin is one of the biggest. Both will change some votes in SC, and FL. And if Newt can stay on message in the Thursday debate as effective as he was in the Fox debate, he (and we) have an excellent chance to minimize mitt. Hang tough Newt!

Newt’s got to beat Paul, Santorum and Romney first. So far he’s not beaten any of them.

You’re putting the cart before the horse.

Can he win the required number of electoral votes against the first black president with a war chest many times bigger than his and 98.7% of the press on his side?

Santorum would have a much better shot than Gingrich. If you're interested in electability, it's either Santorum or Romney. Newt is well underwater in favorability.

I don’t know who can beat Obama. But at least if I’m going to vote for Santorum, I will not have to hold my nose. I will have voted for the one who fought abortion and stared down the gay person who was against DADT.

If I vote for Newt, I will have voted for the guy who bashed Paul Ryan, embraced Nancy Pelosi and has a problem with companies that fire people.

Santorum? He has hardly any money. And Romney would be the white, Mormon Obama. So you’re for electability for its own sake?

Palin DID share this with everyone about nine days ago. I heard it loud and clear.

Coming from a Newt supporter?

Bashing people for choosing electibility? Really?

Haven’t you been preaching constantly that Newt was the only one who was electible?

Santorum fought, that’s not debatable. Gingrich saved Bill Clinton’s career, then fled like a coward, that’s not debatable. Then after saving Clinton, he went to work for Pelosi. I’d take a conservative fighter over a left wing coward any day.

"Everyone needs to stay positive and be patient. Like the famous quote, "was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??!! :) " "

Would that be from Yogi Berra?

My apologies then.

I know there’s been lots of folks saying that. My bad.

And Gingrich has money - from Fannie Mae/Barney Frank and the climate change gang. Money which will entitle them to Gingrich’s loyalty in the unlikely event he gets elected. Hi conservative facade wouldn’t last until Feb. 1, 2013.

"No, but unlike Newt, you won’t find me sitting next to Pelosi!"

Do you realize just how old that crap is getting?

Almost as old as McCain winking at Hillary.

Sounds like McCain all over again. Except that McCain was a war hero.

You are the one preaching it.

I believe Santorum is a better conservative, a better candidate, and stronger electorally than Gingrich.

I might believe the Easter Bunny, Santa and a unicorn are hiding in my closet. Doesn’t mean it’s true.

Ronald Reagan was a union president, a Democrat and FDR admirer at one time, too.

Amazingly, that's more coherent than your previous 'arguments'.

Newt is resoundingly unpopular and his recent attacks on Romney have actually strengthened Romney's position.

I knew about the union thing, and the dimmacrat thing; He also was “divorced” of all things.
