I don’t like that at all. Sorry to hear that. I am sick of that. Give all of them equal time.
It has become painfully obvious that Britt Hume has a deep personal animus for Newt. He should either explain it or retire because it is very disturbing.
Early voting and the evangelicals went for Rick in TN. He isn't likely to get all of the delegates though.
Romney’s defeat in Ohio, will send his campaign into CHAOS.
I live in the communist enclave of Cuyahoga County in Ohio which probably will fall to Mitt but Cincy and Columbus could go Santo. Fasten your seatbelt because the ride will be long and very bumpy.
Rick Santorum is up 15,454 votes in Ohio.
Sunday is perfect example.
Newt had to fae DNC Dave on meet the depressed/nbc on Sunday.
DNC dave started in on the BS/made up topic of contraception. At first Newt didn't want to discuss it and started in on other more important topics.
But then he caved and gave into DNC Dave. Big mistake IMHO. IF he had stood his ground with the driveby and focused instead on energy, the debt, deficit, no budget in 1,000 days,which Newt could have done easily,he could have made big new by dissing DNC Dave, but he didn't.
IMHO, this is the difference between winning and possibly not.
Agree. Brit should recuse himself or go back into retirement.
He's no longer welcome.
The euphemism "Jumped the Shark" has been changed to "Lost it like Coulter". Brit has "Lost it like Coulter".
Santorum 39%
Romney 35%

That little stinker ain’t going nowhere. He likes mucking it up.
Fourteen delegates are awarded proportionally based on the statewide vote. Candidates have to get at least 20 percent of the vote to get any, and they can take them all if they win two-thirds of the vote.
Another 14 delegates are chosen by the state partys executive committee. Those typically are allocated based on the results of the primary.
Lastly the final three delegates are the state party chairman, the states committeeman at the RNC and the states committeewoman at the RNC, and they are uncommitted.
It’s that kind of talk from Beck that guarantees my ability to turn off his show whenever and wherever I happen to encounter it.
With Hume it is personal, somehow. He clearly hates Newts guts, and it shows.
Lake Erie voters/boaters do not like Ricky. Tried to Pull the plug on free VHF radios broadcasts.
Go Santorum!!! Win Ohio for the Gipper!
I cannot see Mitt winning Texas. It will be a tuff fight between Newt and Rick. At this point if Mitt losses Ohio he may well me through. You can never tell what California will do but sometimes the West still won’t vote for an Easterner.
Sooner or later Santorum supporters are going to have to come to terms with the fact their candidate is electoral poison. If we're very fortunate it will happen before Nov 6th. I believe the electorate is effectively suicidal.
(Santorum's now lying about his history with health care mandates. Shameless. HA! Just said he's "Truthful with the American Public.")
Newt continues to bounce back because he's the smart guy with big ideas and the electorate is clearly not enthralled with the establishment's bobbsey twins Mitt and Rick.
It tells me he can’t handle large amounts of cash thrown at him while getting votes at the same time. Does it tell you something different?
Rick Santorum is only having his time to shine (fifteen minutes of fame).
The only problem has been the timing. Rick Santorum is due to fall like a rock, as have other candidates. This election is between Newt and Romney.
23000 for Santorum against Romney In Ohio
We can’t seem to get a break........I hope Newt stays around to contribute if he loses. He would make a dynamite VP if nothing else. OR a cabinet member in a key position. (Economy)
Sorry, Listening to Santorum speak, I really need a nap right now.........ZZZZZzzzzz.
Take heart Gingrich supporters. There is an upside tonight to perhaps a bigger issue, stopping Romney from winning the nomination.
Seeing that Gingrich only won his home State, the odds of a two man race have increased dramatically.
If that were the case, I don’t believe Romney can win the delegates required to win the nomination.
Newt came in 2nd in Oklahoma...as for Tennessee ..their demagraphics have changed quite a bit and people from all over live in the cities of TN...Memphis..I can understand but the Eastern part of TN baffles me in going for a yankee
Your guy is doing well tonight, Naps ...I am pulling for him in OH ...good luck!
HALFRICAN MAGGOT
its just tooooo goood!
My hometown, LOL.
Sprinted for the exit when Kucinich took her into default in and never regretted it.
We won't vote for Romney!
No rewarding filthy liars who campaigned on smears and lies and he's not a conservative no matter how many times he lies about it.
The DNC already has a devasting ad!
I gotta agree about FNC. Some of us here forget what awaits us on other channels,pure liberal BS.AT least FNC is fair much of the time.
What is he, Beck, talking about?
I agree Ricky Sweatervest isn’t very inspiring at the podium. But he’s getting a lot of votes without spending much money. That is impressive.
LOL
everytime Rick speaks more than three straight minutes, my belly button becomes lint free
It tells you he can overcome the opposing force better than anyone else.
Santorum's already outlasted all the others and has taken as much or more fire from all sides. He won't drop like a rock, he's real people. This is race between Santorum and Romney.
Come on. (Howz about) Say something nice about your guy and leave Santorum out of it if you have nothing to say but negatives about him. That’s what I do, only the reverse, regarding the Speaker. Care to match me and take the challenge? Lets be conservatives first here but not tear each other up or down. How about a ceasefire on the anti-Newt and anti-Rick rhetoric here, and we turn political fire on Willard Romney (who must clearly be sidelined) and more importantly Obama who is the biggest threat and headache? I’m up for it, FRiend.
It has to do with Britt’s late son and he will never get over it.
Beck is another example of a guy who really could have used a few years in the service...three other examples are Rick, Newt and Mitt...
Fox News criticing NEWT’s speech but not one bad word on RS. They are salivating over the thought of Newt getting OUT
And yet Santorum continues to win . In the heartland, the south and now in the west by double digits. In America the guy who gets the votes wins and unlike you I think any one of the Republican candidates can and will beat Obama despite the cheap shots from a small percent of the right.
The “wins” are largely symbolic. What matters is the delegate count and the states are proportional. Newt is still collecting delegates outside Georgia tonight.

wow...got elitism ?
“where we are known best”
I always search to see what someone does to get banned. It’s helpful to know what not to do, since I don’t have favored poster status I can’t just do anything I want.
ROMNEY about to speak. I muted the TV. Someone please post to this thread when he’s done. Then I’ll demute.
Who cares?
Not gonna happen.
ROFLMAO!
Would you rather hear Mitt?
Btw, do you know Obamney has private sector experience?
Rick has his good points...
