Newt Gingrich 2012.

"Restore Our Future, a super-PAC supporting Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, will run full-page ads attacking Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Union Leader and The State in Columbia, S.C., the most prominent newspapers in the next two primary states.
The decision to attack Gingrich is a curious one, as Rick Santorum has emerged as Romney’s top rival for the GOP nomination after he virtually tied Romney on Tuesday in Iowa’s caucuses. Post-voting analysis shows much of Gingrich’s support in that state ended up going to Santorum."
The other links are for SC newspapers for those who would like to send Letters to the Editor.
It seems obvious if Romney is running ads against Newt, not Santorum, that he understands who the real threat to the Romney campaign is...
If you support Newt, it's time to double down.
Dear Ms. Kremer
It’s difficult to get through a 24-hour news cycle these days without someone describing 2012 as the most important election of our lifetime, and even though it’s become something of a cliché, I really do believe 2012 is the most important election of my lifetime.
One only has to listen to Newt Gingrich in a simple town-hall format, during the course of a debate, or speaking on the trail, to understand he is the man with the record, the experience, the in-depth knowledge of Washington, DC, to hit the ground running on Day One, and to start turning things around immediately. Newt has talked about the Executive Orders he will sign into effect before the Obama’s plane lands in Chicago on Inauguration Day. It is precisely that kind of hit-the-ground-running aggression that gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, with Newt in the White House, we can actually begin to turn this country around and pull it back from the cliff, where Obama and his party have relentlessly driven it.
Many of us, even those who don't support Newt, are very, very concerned about having another candidate requiring on-the-job training in the office of the Presidency. Things move too quickly, are too complex, for someone without an authoritative command of Washington, and how things work, to push through their agenda, our agenda, to restore this country to its foundations and original principles.
Newt has served in close proximity to the Presidency, walked the executive, as well as the legislative halls in DC, and he will be coming home, not showing up for freshman orientation; in an uncertain world, when seconds count, we can afford no less in our candidate, and offer our country no less.
Besides his competence and courage going forward, besides the fact Newt can handle the media, the Republican establishment and elite, without allowing them to thwart or distort his agenda, Newt won’t allow the DC machine, coupled with the national media, to define him, or defeat his agenda. Many of our less-experienced, less-conservative candidates will find it difficult to advance any agenda in DC, where gridlock is game one, and the political machinery will grind them to pieces.
Newt has led us to victory before in an overwhelmingly hostile environment, during times of great dispute, and he has prevailed again and again when all odds were against him and the Conservative Republicans he championed. Surely you know his 1994 Contract with America was one of many cornerstones of today’s conservative body of thought, and Newt delivered on his promises. And he will again.
It’s really this simple: in a time when events and institutions are careening out of control, when each new day brings complex problems to confound the wisest of men, we need the courage, and the experience of Newt Gingrich once again to re-establish the Founders’ vision for this country. Newt’s intellect, and his understanding of history are without compare. Albert Einstein once said, "The problems in the world today are so enormous they cannot be solved with the level of thinking that created them." The people and the thinkers, who created this mess, can’t fix it. That is apparent. Newt Gingrich can.
Please consider, in the depth of your heart, your own heart, the heart of your organization, giving Newt your endorsement, and soon. There is simply no one, no other single candidate, who can step up, reach up, and stand in the gap for this country, and pull it back from the brink, the way Newt Gingrich can and will do… from Day One.
Thank you so much for reading this and considering Newt.
May God be with all of us.
I guess we know who Romney’s afraid of...
Also, the fact that all the Dems and the RINO “pundits” are rushing to crown Santorum lets us know who they are afraid of, too.

Who is behind this pac?
Bain group ?
Or it’s very very personal !
Agreed.
As Romney and Newt slap fight across the nation, Santorum inches up with a positive, strong message.
Which may turn out to be a huge miscalculation. Gingrich was going nowhere until Cain stumbled and he may already be in a death spiral. In any event, attacking Gingrich in NH is not going to mean anything in the SC and FL primaries. If Romney lets Santorum get traction heading into the South, it could be a whole different ball game (particularly if Perry has bowed out before SC).
Going after Newt, Willard is scared...
New South Carolina Polling
Willard 31%
Gingrich 24% !!!
Santorum 24% !!!
Paul 9%
Pery 2%
No, it means Romney thinks Gingrich votes would be easier to claim for himself than Santorums. If he gets enough of those he beats Santorum & ends that threat.
I’m sure Santorum fanboys are frothing at the mouth with glee over this, “yeah, yeah, destroy Newt! Go little Ricky, woo!”
Then when it’s just Santorum vs. Romney, and Santorum gets crushed, well… at least they can assuage themselves that they supported the guy with a stable marriage. Cuz that’s like, the most important trait a leader can have, you know.
Another way to look at it:
Gingrich/Santorum/Perry 50%
Willard 31%
Paul 9%
Gingrich, Perry, and Santorum splitting 50% of the vote giving Willarfd the lead at 31%. Thanks everyone who slashed and gashed Newt who was leading by a comfortble margin.
Nailed it, he knows he cannot get the rick vote, and perry does not have enough to make any difference. So it only leaves one option. And he has proved it is an easy target.
He also said to keep up the good work.
It’s time for Gingrich to go Medieval on Romney with all that money he has in his war chest. Gingrich horded that money in Iowa. It’s time for Gingrich to go Postal.
Santorum, crushed, he will be rewarded well, cabinet slot at a min.
The media has hung great big targets on the backs of all our candidates. IMO we shouldn’t oblige them by shooting at them.
