There are a lot of older people here that still feel some sort of loyalty to his dad. We get like that here sometimes.

But it is great news that Newt has pulled ahead in what was supposed to be a safe state for him!

So the choices are either:

the corrupt incoherent crony capitalist, the plastic fake corrupt crony capitalist, the whiner in chief, the uber mom, the crazy uncle, the standard issue GOP Establishment Liberal, the Libertine or Newt.

Not really much of a choice.

There is little I’m positive about these days politically speaking, but this is pretty good news. Everyone knows he sure won’t carry Mass. in the general either.

If Romney cant win his own home state of Michigan, where his Daddy was governor, then he is a complete loser.

This isn’t Mitt’s home state but he will win it anyway. Michigan liberals have perfected the art of playing electoral games so don’t be surprised when that curtain is pulled back.

Great Merciful Zeus: Longtime Romney Supporters Abandoning Him in Chicago. Is His “Inevitable” Victory Now Impossible?

2012 Republican Race: The Field May Not Be Closed

Conventional wisdom is that the Republican presidential field is set, and that it is much too late for a new candidate to enter the race.

In years past, that would be absolutely correct. Over the last few decades, dozens of primaries and caucuses have been shoe-horned into the opening weeks of the election year, with the tendency on the Republican side for the front-running candidate to score a quick knockout.

But next year, the arrangement of the primary calendar is much different. It is less condensed at the front, much more loaded with events at the back, with the prospect of a viable, late-starting candidate quite real.

Could Sarah Palin Still Get in the Race?

“.....Feb. 14 is the last day that a late entrant could enter the race and reasonably be expected to do well in subsequent races.

The scenario looks something like this: http://voices.yahoo.com/could-sarah-palin-still-race-10634503.html?cat=9

Romney is even losing his home state!

The last time that happened in a race for POTUS was in 2000 when Gore lost Tennessee, it hadn't happened in like the previous 80 years or something. Gore lost the gun & tobacco vote in TN. Now it's becoming a bit more common. Good, this "favorite son" crappola flies in the face of sanity.

I don't think Newt is the flavor of the week, a candidate who will disappear as we get to know him or as scandals leak. Most of his "supporters" already know him well and don't particularly like or trust him. We all know so many of his personal and professional scandals that none of us respect him. The difference is that Obama and Romney are both so much worse that we'll crawl through broken glass if necessary to vote for Newt. Whether we can just stroll in on a beautiful day and cast an easy vote in minutes, or we have to crawl through broken glass for hours though, we'll vote Newt with a frown. If it could have been Cain, DeMint, Bachmann, or Palin, we would have smiled and voted with enthusiasm, but the alternatives to Newt are so terrible that no American can afford to let the election pass without voting. If we lose, 2012 will mark the last free election in a country recognizable as the United States of America.

Our highest priority for 2012 must be to get conservatives on the ballet for Congress, and to elect as conservative a Congress as possible to restrain whomever occupies our White House on that glorious day when the communist leaves. Obama is the greatest danger to America in our country's history and is taking us down the road to socialism rapidly. Romney would follow that road more slowly, and Newt might follow just about any path from time to time. In any case, we need a conservative Congress to keep the President on track.

Gingrich is eligible.

The carpetbagger Romney is Mexican, but claims all states.
New Hampshire. California. Michigan.
Utah. Massachusetts.

Romney is an ineligible Mexican (which is why
he and Rove defend Obama).

This would be an upset victory but the margin is razor thin and the advantage is still to Romney. Still, it’s encouraging to see Romney will not walk to the nomination.

It is amazing and terrifying to witness how much power the Left has.

Here they have successfully boiled down the Republican candidates to two RINOs, effectively destroying all of the conservatives (Palin, Bachmann, Cain) so that they determine who the next president will be: a Progressive with a (D) after their name or a Progressive with an (R) after their name.

We have GOT to fight back and take control from these tyrants.

I don't like either of them, but this is absolutely true:

“If Newt Gingrich wins Michigan, the contest will be over and he'll win the nomination"
