Gingrich wins South Carolina
The Republican establishment and the Romney camp must be wondering this morning what in the world happened to them yesterday in South Carolina. It doesn't pay to focus on what the so called pundits say, because most of the time they're wrong anyways. Newt Gingrich was shown Friday as being ahead of Mitt Romney in the polls, Some predicted the contest was going to be close,they couldn't have been more wrong. Newt not only beat Romney in the South Primary, he trounced him by getting 40% of the vote to Romney's 28%. Newt should thank the media for unknowingly helping to make his win possible. Last week has been the ultimate week of mishaps for progressives in the media hell bent on taking down Gingrich. Juan Williams took his shot at Gingrich in the Fox News debate and failed. Newt's smack down of Juan is what helped him to start the rise in the polls in South Carolina. What gave him his rocketing momentum was when he embarrassed the CNN moderator John King and the national media in the Thursday night debate. John King opened the debate by questioning Newt over his ex wife's allegation that he said that he wanted to have an open marriage. The audience didn't like that question and Newt didn't appreciate it either.
I'm not sure what John King thought he was going to accomplish by asking Newt that question. He must didn't learn the lesson Juan Williams was taught just a few days earlier. The GOP nomination was all but a lock for Romney according to the wizards of politics just a few weeks ago, now they don't know what to say. Santorum was awarded Iowa after the recount, Romney won New Hampshire, and now Newt has won South Carolina. The question that needs to be asked is obvious going forward for the Romney campaign. Romney did terrible in southern primaries back in 2008. Is this the beginning of a repeat? Romney didn't just lose by 12 percentage points in South Carolina, he lost by double digits even with the endorsement of the Governor Nikki Haley, more money, a professional political ground game etc. Even though Romney has the money to media blanket the large state of Florida, I have to wonder will that be enough. Rick Santorum might as well drop out. He finished with 10% of the vote yesterday. For him to claim to be a social conservative and yet finished in last place in a social conservative state should have been a wake up call to him, but he said he's still going forward to Florida. It looks like as of now there is no real front runner.

The republican establishment knows that Gingrich has absolutely no chance of winning the presidency! Gingrich is damaged goods. If he win's Florida, look for a huge backlash and shake-up in the primaries.
The republican establishment doesn't know anything. They backed John McCain in the primaries, that says it all. The election isn't going to be about Newt, it's going to be on the disaster of Barack Obama's administration. No way in hell can Obama actually go on the attack against Gingrich knowing that his record over four years makes him extremely vulnerable. Obama wants Romney not Newt, and that is just a fact.
What was King and CNN thinking? What great television it would make watching Newt tee off on the news media. They knew that Newt would have a well-prepared flaming so they tossed him the softball.
Enjoy the afterglow. The press will get its revenge.
Remember what they did to Bush and Rummy after being forced to give them glowing wartime coverage. They never forget and they never forgive. Newt is done.
Puh-leeeezzee Tyrone...
Either you're trying a jedi-mind-trick, or you're just as crazy as Newt Gingrich. Gingrich was "THROWN OUT OF CONGRESS" for "ETHICS" violations! You don't think that counts? During his tenure in congress, for each of his so-called "accomplishments" , there was a charge of wrong doing leveled against him!
Even though it wont matter to the average conservative, Gingrich is a serial womanizer who swaps wives likes baseball cards! Not only did he toss the first two away like common trash, he did it while they were sick!
And, if you think Michelle Obama was attacked by right-wingers for things she would say, just till the left-wing smear machine gets a hold to Callista Gingrich for what she's done! Sandra Bernhard and Joy Behar would have a field day!
Your best bet Tyrone is to pray that Gingrich falters or drops out before this thing goes on too long.
President Obama doesn't want Gingrich to be the GOP nominee..? that's funny...
Hey, Tyrone. That was one shocking game between the Ravens and Patriots. I thought the Ravens had the game until the Pats had good defense. Also, the Ravens missed field goal got my jaw to dropping. I was rooting for the Ravens by the way.
There's one thing about election year that I really hate: is when the moderators try to bring up the candidates personal credibility.
Why can't they discuss the policies instead of their personal lives? Mitt Romney's tax returns, Newt Gingrich's extra-marital affairs.
Years ago, everyone knew that candidate Bill Clinton was a womanizer, still he was elected, and he embarrassed the nation by having an affair in the Oval Office.
Every one knew candidate Barrack Obama went to an anti-American, racist Church and associated himself with a known domestic terrorist. It wouldn't surprise me, the fact that Obama is half-white, that he himself is a closeted racist and he is allowing America to become vulnerable intentionally.
anon "Hey, Tyrone. That was one shocking game between the Ravens and Patriots. I thought the Ravens had the game until the Pats had good defense. Also, the Ravens missed field goal got my jaw to dropping. I was rooting for the Ravens by the way."
We are all still in shock. The players and Coach Harborough tried to put their best spin on it, but this lose was a hard stinger. Evans has the touchdown, but due to it happening under the 2:00 mark it wasn't up for review and ruled an incomplete pass. The Cundiff kick is what had all of going WHAT THE HELL!!! This does suck because the team played good enough to have won that game. Joe Flacco silenced his critics at least until next season. If any good thing to come from this is that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are coming back and more then likely Cam Cameron isn't going to have his contract renewed as Offense Coordinator.
Anon;"that he himself is a closeted racist and he is allowing America to become vulnerable intentionally".
Let's say President Obama is a "closet racist." Please point to a viable and unquestionable instance where the President of the United States of America could have possibly led Whites, Asians, Arabs, Jews or Hispanics to believe his actions had racists intent. Show an instance where any of these groups were negatively effected, economically, socially or physically by the presidents actions.
Example;
Thousands of people were trapped in a flooded area, inside a stadium, without food, water and the essentials, in unsanitary conditions in the American city New Orleans during the Bush administration. The vast majority of them (nearly all) were Black. For 5 days the president of the United States watched as conditions deteriorated.
An investigation showed that the Bush administration did not include the parishes where the vast majority of Blacks lived as part of the declared State of Emergency. It was also shown that the Bush administration "LIED" about receiving the Louisiana Governors request for the declaration.
In late May of 2010, middle and western Tennessee was hit with major floods. The governor of the state had this to say about the Obama administrations response;
"I have to say that FEMA and the White House have been absolutely supportive. The President was on the phone to me before the sun came up practically on Monday morning".
BTW, the vast majority of those effected were White.
So, show a similar example where President Obama is a "closet racism." Surely you can unquestionably show that a number of White, Asians, Latinos, etc... (or even one person) was harmed because of his racist intent.
Anon;"he (president Obama) is allowing America to become vulnerable intentionally".
Show where the President of the United States is "INTENTIONALLY" allowing the country to become vulnerable.
Yet, another Example;
August 6, 2001, the Bush administration receive a "Presidents Daily Brief" (PDB) titled Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US. On September 11, 2001 Bin Ladin's assassins hi-jacked four American passenger jets and carried out the worse attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
There have been plenty of threats, and a few attempts to attack the homeland. Yet, no such foreign attacks have occurred on American soil while President Obama has been in office.
Again, please show where President Obama can be shown to "intentionally" allowing the country to become vulnerable. Show, (as was shown and proven with the Bush administration), where the Obama administration received a warning of attack, which resulted in an attack.
Look at it this way. If someone told you, "you neighbor is going to kill you dog", and the next day you found you dog beaten to death, wouldn't you believe it was
"intentional?" Conversely, if you were told your neighbor was going to kill your dog, yet he lived to a ripe old age, would you still think there was intent?
Newt is not fit to be POTUS. He sold out his own party. Santorum is the only conservative in this race and many Black conservatives are figuring that out. Dont fall for what many fell for in 2008 when they elected Obama based on skin color and eloquent speaking abilities. Dont let the media tell us who we should vote for.
Silverfiddle "

I don't think that will be the case. Newt's rise is mostly due to the media trying to bring him down. The people he need to win the nomination aren't big fans of the media either. Cain support remained high for awhile even when the allegations were made against him, because conservatives didn't trust the media and believed they were out to get him. Most Americans don't trust the media in this country. Those on the left or lean left tend to believe the content mostly over those on the right or lean right.
P allen "Either you're trying a jedi-mind-trick, or you're just as crazy as Newt Gingrich. Gingrich was "THROWN OUT OF CONGRESS" for "ETHICS" violations! You don't think that counts? During his tenure in congress, for each of his so-called "accomplishments" , there was a charge of wrong doing leveled against him!"
I am going to teach you to be able to tell the true allen. First off, Newt was not THROWN OUT of congress. He RESIGNED. There was no full hearing into the ethic violation charges. To be thrown out of a job or office is the equivalent of being fired, which he wasn't. Got any other tricks?
p allen "Even though it wont matter to the average conservative, Gingrich is a serial womanizer who swaps wives likes baseball cards! Not only did he toss the first two away like common trash, he did it while they were sick!"
Right, like the average progressive was so outraged about the sexual exploits of their beloved William Jefferson Clinton right allen? You know the former governor of Arkansas who cheated on his wife Hillary multiple times and again as president with an intern by the name of Monica. Is it coming back to you allen? I remember when cigargate broke progressives rallied around Clinton and made the claim "it was just sex" between two adults. For you or any other progressive to throw what Newt supposedly did or even did do out there and forget what you all did when Clinton was exposed for what he did AS THE SITTING PRESIDENT, you all sound so fake it's laugh out loud funny as hell.
