Gingrich had the biggest win of the primary season, South Carolina with a 35% increase in turnout. The minute conservatives abandoned him just because he lost one state, the conservative vote was destined to be split and there was no way enough of Newt’s very strong support would abandon him for an unvetted, untested candidate like Rick. It was stupid to think Rick was going to score every point and make no stumbles in his first major test, which is the only way he could have won these contests. Conservatives moving to Rick decided to split the vote and lose these contests. The ONLY way to turn this around now is to GO BACK TO NEWT for Super Tuesday.

If conservatives refuse to see that Rick is TOTALLY unprepared for this task, not to mention completely unpresidential, and move back to Newt, then they will hand the election to Romney. Rick had his chance at a big win and blew it. He’s got nothing but small caucus states under his belt, most that were uncontested seriously. He has proved he cannot carry the day in the kind of states that count. Gingrich, on the other hand, has proved he CAN compete in big states that matter and can win states BIGGER than anybody. He still had about the double the popular vote Rick did before tonight. Gingrich is the frontrunner for the conservative alternative, there is no way for Rick to supplant him in that position now, and people need to realize that REAL fast unless they want to hand this election to Mitt by continuing to support Rick.

Newt's very strong support is now at 7%. Super Tuesday is now six days away, and the only viable opposition to Mitt has been visciously attacked constantly here. How's that working our for us?

But of course it was simply brilliant to think that Newt and company throwing every dart they could in Santorum's back was going to bring folks back to Newt in droves. Well, I think we can safely say that failed. Now what? Listen to you. Abandon the guy with 37% of today's vote, to vote for the guy who got 7% of the vote. Newt is the best friend Romney has right now. I know it hurts to admit it, but the figures are in. Sure we're six days from Super-Tuesday, and Newt will play the part of the spoiler all day long.

Romney will come out of that day with an incredible amount of momentum. What's more, some of you folks will do your best all week to beat down Santorum's numbers for Mitt. I know you don't mean it that way, but that is going to be the outcome.

Is Newt even in this race at this point? I know he has refused to pull out and cast his support for Santorum, but 7%? Santorum could have won yesterday. Newt didn't have a chance.

Rick had his chance at a big win and blew it.

And yet you think a guy who got 20% of the numbers he did at the polls, is a big winner. Who blew it? Your guy doesn't even have the wherewithall to join these battles.

BTW, how did Newt do in Michigan yesterday? Oh that's right, he didn't even try, AGAIN. He just threw the book at Santorum, and then watched Romney walk off with the big win.

That's presidential? Not in my book.

In a nutshell, Mitt winning both contests is a blessing in disguise. It knocked the wind out of Lil’ Ricky’s sails going into the South where a real, big boy pants Conservative, Newt, can pick up the pieces and deliver a serious blow to the Massachusetts Marxist.
I listened to post-election speech. It was a timid echo of what the Speaker has been saying all along. Why settle for a pale imitation when you can get the real thing?
Go Newt!
