Newt is pulling away in all the polls.

Newt 38% Romney 17% Cain 8%. He is also far ahead in Iowo, SC, Florida and Nevada and with 10 of Romney in NH after being down by 30 there. Can he maintain this? With the anti-Romney votes being about 75%, he has a LOT more to work with than Romney's 17-25%. I just hope people vet him well so when it comes to the General election voters aren't surprised. And he REALLY needs money and an organization. Perry could help him with that as he is the best at raising money and creating organizations, but I am not sure he would make a good VP. I don't think he would leave Texas for that. Besides, Newt needs someone from the north. And maybe a woman or minority.

Sure... if I were Newt, I would certainly make someone polling at 4% as my running mate.... NOT. Why would Newt want to have anything to do with a also-run like Perry who can't get more polling points than a candidate named "No Opinion." You must think Newt is stupider than Perry?

LJ did you switch your name? You sound exactly the same! No substance, just attacks and you refuse to answer any questions.

You refuse to face the facts.

Great ad by Perry making fun of his gaffes. Like he said, if you want a slick debator (which it seems is all that people want) then he is not your man. But if you want a man to clean up Washington and fix this economy then his record proves he is the best man for it.

You refuse to give any facts. So what about the candidate that you support's record and past makes you want to vote for him? No answer means you have no clue and the media obviously made you do it. If you don't know why, then you are following like a sheep. Just tell us. Not a tough question.

Personally I am not understanding Gingrich's appeal. Maybe his work on balancing the budget under Clinton?

I know he has been vetted, but he does seem so vulnerable. And like said above, he just doesn't have the organization. I think he isn't on the primary ballot in all the states he needs to be.

Personally I think it is his tough talk in the debates and he is very intelligent. AND he is an anti Romney candidate. That is it. You are right, he already missed Missouri. Hopefully he won't miss any more deadlines for states. And he just opened his first office in Iowa 34 days before the caucus. And remember Caucuses are different than primaries in the fact they have to take a whole night to break into groups and debate and discuss and then vote in front of everyone. Tehy are saying that only about 10% of Iowan's come out for that. So they have to be the ones with passion especially in Iowa in the dead of Winter. So whoever fires up their people to show up will get a lot more than the polls show of people who just answer on the phone. I doubt 40% of people who support a candidate will show up for a caucus if they think they are winning handidly. tehy will let others go. And Perry is sending 600 people, many high profile names to Iowa this month through the election to get out his voters. Organization makes a huge difference in a Caucus. I do fear a huge Paulbot turnout though.

This is where the money, experience and great organizational skills kick in.

Rick Perry’s presidential campaign plans to bring more than 600 influential Texans to Iowa this month as part of a major blitz for a strong finish in the first state to vote.

The massive Perry posse will include Republican elected officials such as Attorney General Greg Abbott and Comptroller Susan Combs, party stalwarts, consultants, lobbyists, financers and friends that will reach out to Republicans in the Hawkeye State and ask them to take a fresh look at the Texas governor.

First you say "Personally I think it is his tough talk in the debates and he is very intelligent." and then " Like he said, if you want a slick debator (which it seems is all that people want) then he is not your man." What do you want Viking... someone who is a slick debater (it's spelt "debater"... Mr. More Intelligent Than Kate) or someone who is neither? You're extremely obtuse.

If he does get out ahead in the polls you can expect some damaging news to suddenly surface about him...Like he has a love child with his illegal imigrant maid or that he forgot to pay his bill at Tiffany's or something

He will not be the republicans candidate..I repeat: He will not be the republicans candidate for president

It's eve n getting better than that...

Another good-news-for-Newt poll: Gingrich hits 50 percent in Florida

“I am totally shocked by these numbers,” said pollster Matt Towery, CEO of InsiderAdvantage. “Newt Gingrich is winning nearly 50 percent of the independent vote, but more importantly, the Republican vote which makes up the vast majority of the Florida Republican primary.”

Oh... how is Rick doing (Rick who)... 4%... "No Opinion" is still beating him at 11%. Florida must be full of really dumb voters who shouldn't be even allowed the right to vote. If they had any intelligence, they would have no other choice but Rick (Rick who?).

Romney aide laments fall of Cain: ‘He keeps Perry down’

An adviser to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign says in a new book that the campaign was not happy to see former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain’s campaign rocked by allegations of inappropriate behavior dating back to the 1990s.

“We didn’t want [opposition research] on him coming out. We wanted him to stay where he is. He keeps Perry down,” the anonymous aide said, referencing Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

I don't think so. Perry is doing a fine job of tanking all by himself.
