Geez, you might as well vote for me.
Resemblance noted and appreciated. Now GFY!
Don't agree with this. Voter enthusiasm is huge because it drives the turnout that is necessary to win in the polarized environment we have. Turnout is pretty much everything and if the republican candidate is not driving enthusiasim (and at this point I don't see how he can barring major game changing events) then its going to play havok with turnout.
I'm just pretty certain that neither those entirely aligned to the left or right have enough votes to win the election. That's why candidates always shift to the middle after winning the nomination and prior to the general election. Of all of these GOP candidates, the only one I see that can appeal to the middle is Romney. I'm sure if any of the other ones get the nomination, they'll probably try to shift the message to appeal to the independent voters more, but their track record kinda kills them. My opinion anyways.
That thing about talking about poverty being racist was funny. Talking about poverty does not mean "black" since more whites live in poverty than blacks.
poverty in a Repug/conservative mouth is a euphemism/code word for lying, cheating, lazy n!gg@s.
No, it's how demoncraps like you rephrase it to mean. A slander against your opponent.
Even Blustering New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Thinks Newt Gingrich has "Embarrassed" the GOP
Christie told "Meet the Press" that Gingrich's ethics violations and failures as Speaker make him unqualified to be President.
Christie told NBC’s David Gregory that the former speaker just didn’t have the experience needed to be president.
“I think Newt Gingrich has embarrassed the party over time,” Christie explained. “Whether he’ll do it again in the future, I don’t know. But Gov. Romney never has.”
“We all know the record,” the New Jersey governor continued. “He was run out of the speakership by his own party. He was fined $300,000 for ethics violations. This is a guy who’s had a very difficult political career at times and has been an embarrassment to the party.”

We'll see if Newt can have another strong debate or will he put his foot in his mouth?
No he didn't sell his soul, he's more akin to a souless zombie. Romney killed him in NH but forgot zombie Rule #2 - Double Tap.
creepy? Now CALISTA is creepy...
I think voter enthusiasm for a particular candidate is more important on the Democrat side. Younger voters especially need to be inspired by something other than their animosity towards the other candidate. I don't think it's as important for Republicans to be motivated by their candidate, because their primary motivating force will be Obama.
The only way I see Romney's unpopularity among Republicans affecting his potential votes is if a viable conservative third party candidate is in the race.
There's a saying that could have saved you some typing...Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.
creepy? Now CALISTA is creepy...
Oh, so true!!
I heard Newt sent out a press release called "Mitt Romney's Top Conservative Acheivements"...It's empty.
I'm rooting for Newt to get the nomination
His campaign would further destroy the conservative movement in this country
That would be something to see. Keep going Newt.
How Newt Stopped Marianne From Revealing Secrets the First Time
it was hard to make sense of Newt’s scorched-earth approach to the divorce, which has already revealed his six-year-long extramarital affair [3] with congressional aide Calista Bisek and tainted whatever was left of his image as a family-values Republican. [4]
His strategy of all-out fighting — and dragging his new love into the mess — seems irrational to an outsider, I commented.
“It looks that way to an insider,” Marianne said with a sad smile.
Why isn’t Newt trying to head this ugly divorce trial off at the pass? Why are there no settlement talks occurring?
“My hunch is that he doesn’t care about his public image any longer,” says one of Newt Gingrich’s associates. “He’s enjoying being in the private sector, and that means not having to worry about bad press."
This may be a sign that Newt has given up on politics. (Although talk of his political rehabilitation has always seemed far-fetched, he did refuse to rule out future runs when he announced his resignation a year ago.)
Newt-haters theoretically could have feared a Nixon-like return from the near-dead — but given how Newt is handling this case, they need not fret any longer.
a few weeks later, Newt did settle the divorce. That was before he or Callista had to turn over records and be deposed.

Florida Polls Show Big Jump For Newt Gingrich After South Carolina
Newt Gingrich's improbable late January surge appears to be rolling into Florida, as a new poll confirms that victory in the South Carolina primary produced a "big jump" in the former House speaker's support with just six days remaining before the Florida primary.
The new survey by the Quinnipiac University Polling Ins ute shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney still narrowly leading Gingrich, 34 to 24 percent, in interviews conducted among 601 likely Republican primary voters from Jan. 19 to Jan. 23. But on roughly half of the interviews conducted since Saturday's South Carolina primary, Gingrich moves from trailing Romney by 11 percentage points on the Quinnipiac poll (26 to 37 percent), to a six-point lead (40 to 34 percent).

Gingrich promises to overthrow Castro on his first term and bring back Cold War Spy Games
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich vowed Monday night that as president he will "overthrow the regime" of Fidel Castro.
Responding to a question by Brian Williams during the NBC debate in Tampa about U.S. policy toward Cuba, Gingrich said he would press for a "Cuban spring," much like the Arab spring sweeping the Middle East.
"We will not tolerate four more years of this [Castro] regime," Gingrich said.
Fidel Castro has been in power for more than 50 years and Cuba remains one of the most repressive regimes in the world. Although his health has failed him in recent years, and his brother is the official leader of the country, Castro continues to lead behind the scenes.
Gingrich said he would accomplish the goal of ousting Castro by "using every asset" the U.S. government has, including supporting a popular uprising and encouraging Cuban youth to take to the streets.
Who Is Sheldon Adelson, What Has Newt Promised Him?
Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino owner, is now the poster boy for what's terribly wrong with our campaign-finance system. Adelson, you may recall, had, before the South Carolina Republican primary, donated $5 million to the pro-Gingrich Super Pac "Winning Our Future" - giving Newt a pile of money for negative advertising against Mitt Romney in South Carolina.
Adelson has done it again. He and his wife Marian have cut another $5 million check for Gingrich to go negative on Romney in Florida. The money won't go as far as it did in South Carolina - TV ads cost a lot more in Florida - but it's enough to give the Grinch a solid footing.
And, who knows? The Adelsons are billionaires. They might decide to put in another $5 million or perhaps $20 million into Gingrich's Super Pac. The point is, there's no limit.
Do you know who Sheldon and Marian Adelson are? Do you know what Gingrich has promised them, or what they think they'll get out of a Grinch presidency? I don't. But if Newt becomes President of the United States, they'll be singularly responsible. And we better find out, because Newt will owe them big time.
Forget the Lincoln Bedroom. The Adelsons and their kids will have the run of the White House, including the Oval Office. Hey, they'll take over the Old Executive Building next door and turn it into a casino.
Never before in the history of American politics has a single couple given more money to a single candidate and had a bigger impact - all courtesy of the Supreme Court and its grotesque decisions that speech is money and corporations are people under the First Amendment.

http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/...se-112344.htmlAfter nearly a week on the defensive, CNN's John King reports tonight that Newt Gingrich's claim about offering witnesses to ABC News in his defense — to rebut the network's interview with his second wife, Marianne Gingrich — was not true.
"Tonight, after persistent questioning by our staff, the Gingrich campaign concedes now Speaker Gingrich was wrong — both in his debate answer, and in our interview yesterday," King said on tonight's edition of John King USA. "Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage."
The only reason Newt is in this race, and has a shot at the nomination is that conservatives/Republicans REALLY don't like Romney. Frankly, I am on record here that I will not support Romney, and WOULD vote for Gingrich over him, simply to tweak the powers that be in the Republican party who have, obviously, chosen Romney as their guy (why else would ALL of the candidates who actually have a shot at beating Obama be staying on the sidelines?)
Newt Gingrich: Lifelong politician, s bag, former speaker - non-establishment candidate? Apparently so.
I'll probably vote for Paul now - it doesn't matter at this point. NONE of the Republicans in the race can actually win the presidency.
