A big Gingrich win would be GOP nightmare
UPDATE: That was an impressive win. A 14-point margin for Newt Gingrich is probably more than the former speaker could dream of a week ago, and certainly was unimagined by the Romney camp. A lot of Republican Party officials will not sleep well tonight.
The voting booths close at 7 p.m. in South Carolina, and given movement in the most recent polls, it wouldn’t be surprising if the networks name Newt Gingrich the winner shortly thereafter.
If that happens — and particularly if Gingrich can push his margin into double digits, which seems plausible — the Republicans have themselves a serious problem. Newt will come out of South Carolina with the smell of napalm in his nostrils, and we all know what napalm smells like: victory.
The greater the Gingrich margin, the more it will validate his strategy of attacking Mitt Romney on the issue of his Bain-gotten wealth. As his high-school yearbook photo tells you, this is a man with a grandiose sense of destiny, and the closer he gets to seeing it realized, the more aggressive he will become.
And as I’ve pointed out before, the Republican establishment will have only itself to blame. They have trained their base to turn up its nose at even the slightest aroma of moderation. They have fed it on resentment, and instilled it with a deep disdain for the media. In short, they have turned it into an audience utterly susceptibel to a man of Newt’s talents and eccentricities.
On the other hand, if Romney wins, this thing’s all but over. We’ll know in a few hours.

Well, I want old Newt to win and then go on and take the White House. The reason is because this Obama is as boring as watching paint dry. I mean, at least he could pinch a intern on the fanny or something just to let us know he’s human and a real manly man.

No Newt will come out of South Carolina with the stench of racism, the foul odor of hypocrisy and the putrid air of hate.

More Arab “Spring”:
“US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Saturday called Egypt’s foreign minister to discuss the country’s economic and political situation, as well as events in Syria, the State Department said.
It said the telephone call covered the same ground as President Barack Obama’s discussion with Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi on Friday, which the White House said was focused on Egypt’s need for a democratic transition.
Clinton’s call to Foreign Minister Mohammed Amr came as official election results showed that Egypt’s Islamists, led by the once-banned Muslim Brotherhood, clinched more than two-thirds of parliamentary seats in historic polls held last year after the ouster of long-time president Hosni Mubarak.
“They also compared notes on Syria in advance of the Arab League meetings this weekend,” the State Department said in a brief statement.”

I find it really funny — Obama is a black man, you can usually find a “girl on the side or jump off’ in a black man’s past (Ask herman cain); yet no one could find one in Obama’s so they now hint that he’s a closet “homosexual”.

“(CNSNews.com) – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has defeated the national media in South Carolina by a margin of 54 percent to 14 percent, according to a survey conducted by a Democratic polling firm.
The poll, conducted by Raleigh, N.C.-based Public Policy Polling (PPP), interviewed 1,540 likely South Carolina Republican primary voters from Jan. 18 to Jan. 20. It showed that 54 percent of those voters said they had a favorable opinion of Gingrich while 37 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion of him.
At the same time, only 14 percent said they had a favorable opinion of the media, while 77 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion of the media.”

I dunno about that. If Newt get’s the GOP nomination, there’s gonna be a major day of reckoning for many in this country. For decades, one party in particular, has preached family values, Christian values, and that other feel good after a good Sunday Service type stuff.
A matchup between Newt and Obama brings a monumental decision that has to be made. Those who follow that ideology will have to choose between a man who is a positive example of family values in taking care of the kids and stuff, or Newt. They must decide whether the stuff they’ve preached actually means something or is it just a case of party over ideals.

Yes, TD, he was. I’ll post more on this later, but I think it’s a very important point:
Newt was victorious by employing the Democratic line of attack against Mitt. Think about that. A lot of folks are suggesting this says something about Romney as a candidate, but I think it says something a lot more important about the message.
In a conservative Republican primary, the Democratic line of attack proved decisive. What does that tell you about what’s going to happen in the general election? Newt hasn’t merely exposed Romney, he has exposed the fragility of the entire GOP philosophy.
It’s really quite stunning, in ways that a lot of people don’t yet comprehend.

In a conservative Republican primary, the Democratic line of attack proved decisive. What does that tell you about what’s going to happen in the general election? Newt hasn’t merely exposed Romney, he has exposed the fragility of the entire GOP philosophy.
If there are any unexplainable booms heard overnight, I’m laying blame on the collective conservatives heads that are exploding trying to comprehend that thought.

Absolutely right, Jay.
“In a conservative Republican primary, the Democratic line of attack proved decisive. What does that tell you about what’s going to happen in the general election? Newt hasn’t merely exposed Romney, he has exposed the fragility of the entire GOP philosophy.”
There is no overlooking the fact that it was the relentless attacks on the Bain Capital record carried out not only by Gingrich but also by Perry that turned the tide here.
That has enormous implications for the road ahead..

You know I always enjoy conversing with you, even if it’s something we agree on.

Please tell me how I am as “shrill” as they are? I know you like to get caustic with any poster that you may disagree with, but that is not my goal. If I am acting like the examples I gave, I damn sure want to change.

It’s said but they have no clue about the flag thing. Don’t remind them or they’ll want it changed again.

In a sense, we’re seeing a third-party candidate, and it’s Newt Gingrich.
Jay, you misspelled “third”. You added a “hi” and left out the “u”.

It won’t be over in my lifetime nor yours. It will be relevant until all vestiges of racism dies. It’s apparent that you’ve never had to get on the back of the bus nor have you had to go into the back door because of your color. You’ve never heard your grandmother tell you of the klan in Monroe, Ga. riding into the house on their horses or know of people who have been lynched because of their color. It’s meaningless to you td, because you don’t know of any of this. But you see …, it’s not meaningless to me and millions more like me. It will be relevant until the day I die. I didn’t ask for race to play such a big part of my life. I just had to play the hand that I was dealt. My children and their children and their children will all know the story.
