RESIZE: AAA

There is something all inspiring and Wild Westy about Gingrich, Perry, and Sarah coming out guns blazing against that ‘ole Vulture Mitt Romney.  Maybe they can bring him down out of the sky after all, especially if they get some backup from the town folk. I just wish Perry could get a little tailwind out of all this. Still hoping and praying.

By what I saw on twitter yesterday, aren’t the attacks looking more effective and focused? Hey Mr. Romney, show us the tax returns. Show us some proof about those eleventh million jobs you created at Bain Capital. And what about raiding the pension funds and sending the bill to the US government? Mr. Romney, fill your hand. (I just watched the new True Grit the other day- love that movie.)

Any way I have a question. What chance does Gingrich have with his semi load of baggage and his lack of relevant experience? Can his massive brain and the experience he does have as Speaker of the House help him over come these disadvantages? I have just heard that historically it is a long shot for a non governor, non vice president, and a non military general to pull this off. If I thought Gingrich could do it and if my dear Governor Perry doesn’t survive the firefight, I just might be giving Newt another look. I was fixing to go for Romney but I need a backup plan for in case he ends up being carted off to Boot Hill.

    and Romney may yet sink. Until and unless Romney is the name on the ballot across from Obama’s, I will not give him and his squishy northeastern Republican views my vote, ever.

    .. to have professional politicians demonize someone’s private career of trying turnaround businesses. Prepping voters for Obama anti-capitalist talking points is not a good conversation to have during the primary.

    We should not be putting private sector business decisions on trial, or attacking people for engaging in free enterprise. It’s unfortunate Perry ‘went there’. We should be asking instead about who is best to lead the nation and what policies and agenda they have and what record they have to back it up. Mitt’s moderate record as Governor is the issue, not the jobs he created (or didnt) at Bain.

    That makes twice now in the past few days that she’s defended his candidacy. A good sign! If Sarah wanted Perry out she would’ve said so, just as she advised Huntsman and Bachmann to drop out after Iowa. Her word holds weight. Glad to see she’s not counting out Perry.

    “According to an Insider Advantage poll conducted for The Augusta Chronicle and The Savannah Morning News, Romney has 23 percent support, and Gingrich has 21 percent. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has 14 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul has 13 percent, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman has 7 percent, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry has 5 percent.”

    Newt has a good chance but a short window in SC and FL to consolidate the field.

    Others staying in at this point are the equivalent of an internal third party, only helping Romney.

    Poor, poor Mittens he thinks its ok to attack everyone else’s record but it is soooo unfair to attack his. Here’s an idea, why don’t you get your candidate to come out from behind Rush Limbaughs skirt and answer Americans who want to know why engaged in these practices? Or are you afraid of more “GM” comparisons?

    It may be a longshot, but Newt has the momentum in SC and this is our last opportunity to Stop Mitt. Perry has basically become a joke candidate in the media and no one even takes him seriously any more, but his 5% is enough for Newt to beat Mitt.
