As a tea partier in spirit, I accept the wisdom of the tea partiers of SC.

GC, your Newt concerns are valid.

But the lesson is that the GOP primary electorate wants a conserrvative who stands up and FIGHTS for conservative ideas, values and agenda.

We dont want a status quo politician.

We are frogs who know that a Newt with warts will always be better than a stork.

Tonight, Gingrich is praising all 4 candidates. Let’s get the best person we can to defeat the stork! SC says its Gingrich.

I posted my humble impression of this day, Newts speech, and what it means to all of us on another thread. I should have put it here. Oh well. Just saying that Newt gives every indication of understanding the sacred trust that has been put into his hands today and the he fully intends to rise to the occasion.

He and his family have my prayers. We need a fighter with an enormous brain to win our country back. He has the opportunity now to show he can be trusted with the presidency. Go Newt!

And God bless and reward Governor Perry for his unselfishness and wisdom.

There’s enough of us Palinistas to go along with the Perryites finding ourselves pulling for a guy whose campaign we didn’t take very seriously at first. But campaigns often go off in unpredictable directions, and people we thought couldn’t lose often fall, and people we thought didn’t stand a chance get swept in on landslides.

I’m quite happy to be on Team Newt for 2012, a place I wouldn’t have guessed to be in a million years if you had asked me as recently as a year ago.

Actually, at one point he was only a heartbeat and a blue dress away.

who have said they won’t vote for any one other than their candidate in the General Election, will vote for the Constitution Party, or not vote at all, I would urge them to read Mr. DeVine’s diary. I was a Perry supporter but moved to the Gingrich camp after my guy withdrew. Newt might implode down the road or things may come out about his past that, in fact, do make him unelectable. If that happens, though I do not trust Mr. Romney, I will vote for him and will also eat any leftovers from GC’s plate of crow.

Surrounded

Unimagined political peril awaits those who underestimate the enormous electoral power of a fully operational Tea Party.

Gov. Haley, you’ve been forewarned…

Sorry, not voting for Romney.. not with anyone yet..

But your points on Newt’s temperment and judgement are valid.

Problem with Romney is that he isnt answering basic questions straight. It re-enforces his persona of doing what ever it takes to get elected.

If he were start giving straight answers – he might start going somewhere.

Is that what you tried to say?

I understand your thinking and respect your decision to still vote for Mitt. Heck, if Mitt showed any fight at all, I’d likely be supporting him too.

I really hope Newt chooses Perry for VP and he accepts. I think it would calm the fears of socons, and show people that Republicans are serious about jobs.

Even though I’m still grazing over the candidate buffet. I’m searching for red meat amongst all the offerings but can’t seem to find it. A Prime rib candidate would be nice, but it looks like I’m not getting that this year.

No red-blooded conservative can help getting excited by Newt. It’s insidious; he’ll start to make you grin with his words, and before long you’re cheering him, even though you’re for Romney!

If he performs well in Florida – doesn’t even need to win – it could prove Newt is the one to face Obama rather than Mitt.

Romney admits he made a mistake. And he’s pullin out the 2010′s and estimated 2011 returns. Admitting you made a mistake is a good thing. THis might stop some of the bleeding.

(check Hot Air, Drudge, all other usual places for more on this)

And still do…The verdict WAS NOT IN just yet.

Look at it like this… your judgment is not yet over. The folks is only askin’ for re-trial of the defendents. You will be proven right in the end… just ain’t time yet.
