I hope you're right, but I'm concerned that a resurgent Newt Gingrich will lead to significantly less coverage for Ron Paul. Newt's an attention *****.

Yea. If you just take out the #1, #2, and #3, Gingrich is the true #1.

Really, anyone who is voting for him or considering voting for him need to get his/her head exam.

Really Where did you get that idea....

“The Republican Party has split into two parties: the tea party and the martini party,” chief Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod told Bloomberg this week, offering his spin on the Gingrich-Romney divide. Axelrod said the dynamic could mean a protracted primary fight, which many say could be advantageous to Obama."

Earlier this week, Axelrod launched the first direct Democratic attacks on Gingrich, labeling him the “godfather of gridlock” for his role in the federal government shutdown of 1995 and the partisan battle to impeach President Bill Clinton.

The DEMS would love Gingrich as the GOP candidate.

When I read these polls I just see "Candidate Who Will Ensure Obama's Reelection Pulls Ahead of Other Candidate Who Will Ensure Obama's Reelection"

I hear ya. We just got to keep the field as evenly fractured as possible and avoid any runaway success stories.

Poll: Gingrich takes the lead in South Carolina | The Augusta Chronicle
I guess those SC Repugs adore serial adulterers!

I guess Gingrich backers are all for cheating husbands and having a Piece- On-The-Side as First Lady of the US....

Wait! ...didn't Repugs object to Democrat cheaters???? Yes, those two-faced, hypocritical liars DID!!!

Guess Gingrich backers have the morals of alley cats....

The man who divorces his wives when they get sick is in the lead? I think that will soon change.
