It looks like the baggage master may win South Carolina. This will guarantee a long expensive battle for the eventual nominee.

Can the republicans actually be so stupid they would nominate Newt and assure Obama four more years? It's is sure starting to look that way. There must be high fives all around the Whitehouse today.

You are whistling in the dark Hankster. If you are not scared, you should be.

I am not happy with Obama and wish the Rs would run a decent candidate but the Tea Party, evangelical RWWJs are so fired up they will not accept a moderate. Instead, the evangelicals are willing to hold their noses and vote for a serial womanizing, revolving door lobbyist, ethically challenged windbag. Every primary the evangelical right wins drives another nail in the Rs coffin. The eventual losers - America.

Hank you are looking like Romney now with a bit of managing expectations.

We are going to win!
We will probably win!
We have a chance!
Well at least we will have the Senate.();-) Remember you would have already had the Senate if it weren't for the Tea Party. Looks to me like the worst thing that ever happened to the Republican Party was the Tea party. It's kind of like what would happen to the Democrats if they nominated Al Sharpton.

I do agree that the gridlock we will see for the next four years is in some ways good, but sometimes America does need to act.

If the Rs somehow win the presidency the Ds will certainly remember how hard the Rs worked to say no to everything the Ds wanted even when it was a payroll tax cut. Yep, you have that right - gridlock will continue. Probably not the best way to move a country forward.

You still dont understand the teaparty mind set. Its financial and only that. Cut Cap and Balance, no bailouts, fair taxes.
Only 1/3 of the senate is up and this round more dems are at risk than last election. Sharon Angle and the other... would not have given R's the majority. They were lousy candidates no matter what they believed. Several other Teaparty back Senate candidates won in the senate. Teaparty are fiscal conservatives and so dems attack them. Want more of the last 12 years, get rid of the teaparty. These senators think the only way to get reelected is to bring home expensive pork, and run up the debt. Not much difference between Al Sharpton and the Al Frankin, who is a back bencher and a liberal rubber stamp for more debt.

Newt is qualified, but a poor choice and I doubt he will get the nomination.

I do understand that several Tea Party nominees beat out much more electable moderate Rs and cost the Rs the Senate. Don't believe that, do some homework. If the tea Party continues its good work they will cost the Rs the presidency.

Sounds like you just described the Occupy Wall Street protestors and followers;)

Wrong. Public wants cuts, caps and a balanced budget. Not happening fast enough. If congress does not cut and balance, there will be more Teaparty members. Why is Ron Paul getting more popular? Same reasons, in addition to being fed up with war. BO turned a lot of new voters off. Party membership has dropped for democrats. Independent and R registration is up. I doubt it means an earth quake, but its a trend in the wrong direction for dems.
Looking at the turnover of congress in 94 after 40 years and the subsequent back and forth indicates that voters are not going to be taken for granted in the future. I doubt the attitudes in 2010 have changed much. I thought the insider trading might change things, but have not been talked about much. Neither party wants to get rid of it.

We're screwed regardless of who gets nominated or elected. Every single person still running ( both D & R ) is a putz who is out of touch with the common US citizen.

I think Dogfish has it right. LB,as usual, lost in the fog.

Even though Obama has not much of a clue he is obviously a much better choice than all but Romney. If the Rs are dumb enough to nominate anyone other than Romney - the father of Obamacare. They are doomed to another four years of yapping at Obama's heels.

What this country needs is the biggest and nastiest SOB that will stand up to China and OPEC and get the phugging southern border secured and stop this invasion of Wet backs! ymmv

Newt is probably the most fatally flawed candidate of modern time. If Republicans nominate him, Obama wins, period.

I'd give that Italian Captain better odds on beating Obama.

Like the lady Fox interviewed said, "This is embarrassing for South Carolina." That's how I felt when Washington went for Pat Robertson a few cycles ago.

Remember how I mentioned the Tea Party buffoonery? An exit poll found that 7 of 10 those who voted for the sneaky lizard considered themselves to be part of the Tea Party

I bet Obama is grinning from ear to ear right now.

KK with the same ol' song and dance......tellin' others how there is something wrong with them.....

Forfuksake, KK....... it's YOU who is screwed up.....to the max. How's your long term relationship-building, you fkn douch bag?

You're like a really bad B movie....no plot, no character, just noise.

Remember this from your childhood football career?......KK, you go long.

Que' Que' has his finger on the pulse of his own wanger. Wasn't it just a couple years ago he guaranteed the D's would hold both the house and senate? Reichert wouldn't be elected? Etc. F'n douche can't see that he is the reason there is a divide in this country. Can't have a dialogue, just tells people they're stupid 'cause they don't hold the same idiology.

I'm guessing he's just a pretty good troll 'cause if he takes himself serious...... Well, must be a pretty miserable existence.

Yes, and they will succeed.

TeaBaggers are "all about economics" like the NRA is "all about banning handguns"...

TeaBaggers are about a small group of elite right wingers co-opting the dumbest and most bigoted amongs the right wing whackjobs and forming an Astroturf organization that makes the Mickey Mouse Club look like Mensa.

Fish on...

Go Newtster !
Can't wait for the SNL sketches !

SC governor didn't endorse him, state legislators didn't endorse him.... but Palin did

republicans must be so proud.


Anyone notice that Romney used a teleprompter for his concession speech? Gingrich did, and made a point of it.

he is the reason there is a divide in this country.

I am honored to know such a powerful person. KK AKA The Devil
