    He's gaining in New Hampshire, but I still just don't see it happening...

    The newspaper endorsement aside, does Gingrich have much support for his candidacy inside DC?
    His wikipedia page seems to indicate not much "official" support outside of Georgia and South Carolina.
    Of course, if the Tea people help him take Iowa, he does okay in New Hampshire and wins South Carolina...

    Maybe he's miles above the vapid, contortionist fake?

    He's destroying Romney in Florida, according to the polls.

    The Iowa/New Hampshire/South Carolina trifecta is made to order for Newt . . . a fact which is not at all flattering to the GOP, as a whole.

    In what way?

    He's a rich kid who owes every job he's ever had to his daddy?

    At least Romney, who was born on second base, figured out how to finish his trip around the bases.

    What has Huntsman ever accomplished on his own? What accomplishments can he point to.

    And, his personality doesn't exactly light up a room.

    His conservative credentials are far and away stronger, even if he lacks charisma otherwise.

    Didnt Newt hand divorce papers to one if his ex-wives while she was dying of cancer?

    I've never heard that before. Do you have a link?

    Gary Johnson torpedoed what little shot he had at the nomination ...

    (He's another I thought would get more traction. Self-made millionaire, outdoorsy man's man kind of guy.)
