Iowa Caucuses, What a Night!

Here’s a few good political reads I ran across this afternoon that you just might like to click out…

- USAToday.com had this interesting read and it starts off like this…

Why didn't Newt Gingrich praise Mitt Romney for his squeaker win in Iowa, when he spoke warmly of Rick Santorum, who came within a handful of votes of the top spot?… "Other than the fact that Governor Romney ran a relentlessly negative campaign of falsehoods, which earned one of his ads four Pinocchios from the Washington Post?" Gingrich said at a news conference Wednesday. "The fact is, three out of four Republicans rejected him. Governor Romney is a moderate Massachusetts Republican to the left of the vast majority of Republicans. I find it amazing that the media continues to say he's the most electable Republican when he can't even break out in his own party…

Gingrich speaks critically of Romney

.

- From CNN.com is this report…

Rick Santorum feels like Rocky Balboa

.

- Also from USA Today is the following report that starts off like this… Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry both hit their high-water mark on the same day - Aug. 13, when Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll and Perry formally entered the Republican presidential race… Now they've shaken up the race in tandem again… Bachmann announced her withdrawal from the race on Wednesday, at the same time that Perry indicated he would take his battered campaign to South Carolina for the Jan. 21 first-in-the-South GOP primary…

Bachmann, Perry fail to capitalize on early fanfare

.

……………………………………..………………

My Take: What a night last night was watching the Iowa Caucuses to the very end. Congrats to Mitt and Rick for what I consider to be a tie for first even though Mitt actually won but by only 8 votes! And that didn’t come until way after midnight, Central Time.

.

I was saddened that my man, Newt… got such a beating over these last few weeks. But… sadly, that is the game we are in.

.

I hope he does REAL well in South Carolina and Florida in the weeks ahead. So far -- So good! He’s up in the polls in both as of today. Unfortunately… politics is very fluid, especially this election year. Soooo…. We shall see just how it all pans out. Fingers Crossed!

POST UPDATE:

Thursday, January 19, 2012

.

Santorum bested Romney by 34 votes in the final tally of Iowa's caucuses, Republican officials said Thursday [January 19^th]. But no winner was declared because some votes remain uncertified two weeks after the event's closest contest ever. The state GOP initially declared Romney the victor - by just 8 votes… "This is a solid win. It's a much stronger win than the win Gov. Romney claimed to have," Santorum declared… Romney called the Iowa results a "virtual tie." Santorum called it a sign any calls for him to leave were premature…

ABC Republican Presidential Debate Tonight

Saturday, December 10, 2011

Time: 8:00pm CST

.

* REUTERS brings us the following report and it starts off like this… The budding rivalry between surging Newt Gingrich and former frontrunner Mitt Romney will take center stage Saturday evening in the first of two Republican presidential debates in Iowa over the next five days… Gingrich, Romney and four other White House contenders will make their case to voters in a race that polls show is still up for grabs less than a month before Iowa kicks off the state-by-state Republican nominating contest… The debate will be broadcast nationally on ABC at 9 p.m. EST from Drake University in Des Moines. Another Republican debate will be held on Thursday in Sioux City, Iowa… "These are the last chances for the candidates to really have an impact on the race before the voting starts," said Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak. "It's a huge opportunity."…

Gingrich vs Romney rivalry in Iowa debate spotlight

.

………………..

One of my favorite moments in tonight’s debate would had to been when Newt said... "I think sometimes it is helpful to have a president of the United States with the courage to tell the truth. Just as it was Reagan who went around his entire national security apparatus to call the Soviet Union an 'evil empire.' Reagan believed the power of truth restated the world and reframed the world. I'm a Reaganite. I'm proud to be a Reaganite. I will tell the truth, even if it causes some confusion sometimes with the timid."

.

Bottom line is Newt did an outstanding job tonight in the debate. Romney on the other hand really had a poor performance tonight. And I believe it will show to be so in the polls that come out next week.

.

I also believe Romney is going to have to do a much better job of it in next week’s debate on Fox News. If not… he just might end up having a shorter run of it then he was counting on!

Herman Cain Ends His 2012 Presidential Run - December 03, 2011

Fox News brings us the following report on Mr. Cain and it starts off like this… Herman Cain announced Saturday that he is suspending his Campaign for President, telling a crowd of supporters in his home state that the allegations of sexual harassment and infidelity had become too big a burden on his family… Read the full report at link below…

Cain Suspends Presidential Campaign, Cites 'Hurt' Caused by 'False' Allegations

………………………..…………..

Mr. Cain wasn’t my dog in the hunt… But… I loved what he brought to the Debates over the last so many months…. In the end though… I too, like so many others, was truly saddened by all the accusations that went down hard upon him in the end.

Good run my friend… Good run…

Newt's American Energy Plan

- NEWT 2012 -

Newt's American Energy Plan

.

"Contrary to popular belief, America has more energy than any nation on earth. All that's keeping us from becoming energy independent is a lack of political will to do so." - Newt Gingrich

.

    Today's high gas and energy prices are entirely a function of bad government policies. Newt has an American Energy Plan that would maximize energy production from all sources… oil, natural gas, wind, biofuels, nuclear, clean coal, and more… and would encourage clean energy innovation without discouraging overall energy production.

.

- Read Newt's American Energy Plan HERE

And while you’re there, click out a few of Newt’s short videos on topic too!

…………………………………

.

As of Friday, November 4th, 2011, we can safely say Newt has been moving up in the poles and I’m beginning to believe it will be Newt/Romney as the last two standing when we finally get into early next year. Then with lots of work… when all is said and done… my man Newt will win out and become our Republican Candidate to run against President Obama in Election Year, 2012.

NEWT 2012 - Support

Following from an Email by the Campaign Manager for Newt 2012
.

Dear Friend and Supporter,
.

After watching last night’s debate in Las Vegas, Sarah Palin confirmed what we have been telling you all week. Providing analysis on the show On The Record with Greta Van Sustern, Governor Palin offered a lot of praise for Speaker Gingrich saying, “I think we are more interested in substance and that’s why, like tonight, Newt Gingrich again, I think, did the best because he seems to be above a lot of the bickering that goes on.

On the prospect of a Gingrich-Obama debate, Palin said that Newt would “CLOBBER Barack Obama in any debate!” The team here at Newt 2012 couldn’t agree more!

Speaker Gingrich has distinguished himself among the accomplished Presidential candidates not by trying to tear his opponents down, but by instead advancing a substantive policy agenda. These debates have served as a clear illustration of the differences between all these candidates, and Speaker Gingrich’s masterful performances are highlighted in our new campaign video “Newt Now.” You can help us promote this important video by doing two things:

First, please take a moment to watch the video now.

Second, if you think that Newt is the best qualified and most intelligent candidate, you can help us spread this video by making a generous contribution today.

The entire team at Newt 2012 is very proud of this new video, and we're incredibly grateful for your support in spreading it far and wide.
