South Carolina debates and primary results. NEWT WINS BIG TIME!!!

With SC in the rear view mirror here are some articles all about the great week for Republicans and Newt. Haven't had a chance to read the included info so some my not reflect my views. A little short on time lately. Bottom line NEWT WON and that is a great big leap towards the restoration of our great nation, hope it continues!

New Hampshire done, S. Carolina coming up, the race goes on. Time to get the lead out.

The New Hampshire primary is in the books. Romney wins as expected with Ron Paul having a good second place showing. Paul can't possibly win the nomination but the rest of the field better take his supporters seriously and adopt some of his domestic policy, they'll need his people to win in November. Newt is the big loser, as a supporter I am pissed, the smartest guy in the room is missing the point. Bashing Romney and Bain Capital is the wrong track, he should stick to policy of which he is the strongest by far. Take a page from the Romney book, attack Obama, Mitt has this down and it makes him look like the eventual nominee. Newt needs to appear even more like the nominee rather them someone trying to catch up. Now we go to the south Carolina primary, Newt is in second place in the polls, it's time to make a good showing, act like the nomination is his and get on with it. Newt, run like you are the winner, let Santorum, Perry and Huntsman play the part of "hope we can get through this" runner ups. I expect SC to be the end of Perry and Santorum will probably make it through Florida but no further unless someone comes up with a pile of cash. All in all it's very interesting to watch things unfold sitting out here yelling at my TV.

ABC and FOX Debates now in the books

Well we have had two more debates and clearly it is coming down to Newt and Mitt. My take is Newt is the clear front runner with Mitt a close second. Both of them have done very well in these debates. One thing worth noting is that while they have exchanged a few barbs they have for the most part stayed on track and stuck to the issues. I like that. On the other hand it's time to shed some of the excess candidates real soon. Start with Huntsman, he's done, no chance in hell, smart guy, seems nice enough but really he's just taking time from those that have a chance....time to go John, bye bye! Next is Michelle Bachmann, sorry, NO chance and I'm getting real tired of her whining. She is doing more damage then good now, on the attack with her false claims and accusations she is just loading the left with ammo for the future. Reagan said you don't disparage another republican, she should listen. Next is our crazy uncle, Ron Paul. Don't get me wrong, Love Uncle Paul, he is dead on when it comes to the monetary system, Fed, debt and most domestic issues but he is whacked out completely wrong on foreign policy. Sorry regardless he isn't electable, Obama would destroy him in a debate, he can't win so bye bye uncle Ron. The rest of the field is OK to go for now. I'll leave Santorum in there because he is a smart guy and a good possible vice president so folks need to continue to get to know him.
Next up is the Iowa Caucus on Jan. 3. So it starts and off we go....

Newt Gingrich Mocks President Obama-Hilarious!

A Couple more debates under our belt

On 11/19 there was the Thanksgiving Family Forum in Des Moines Iowa and on 11/22 the CNN Heritage Foundation debate in Washington DC. Both were good platforms for the candidates. The Thanksgiving debate was based on faith, the candidates discussed there religion and how it plays in there decision making. Mitt Romney didn't attend. While I am not personally very religious I do think it plays an important part in choosing a president. I want someone that believes there is a higher power to answer to. I an partial to Newt and as far as I am concerned he won hands down. I like the fact that he is a recent convert to the catholic church. The other folks also proclaimed their beliefs, Bachman I think proclaiming the strongest almost born again stature. Good stuff.
The CNN debate was on foreign policy and nuff said Newt ran the house. When it comes to world affairs there isn't anyone close. Ron Paul came off like a total nut bag, sorry but I can't deal with anyone that would just hand nukes to Iran. I like Perry's input that all foreign aid start at zero and then they have to make the case as to why we should give them a dime, Newt agreed.
Best thing to come of it all is Newt is now the front runner, the folks are finally figuring it out, vote for the smartest guy! Can't wait to see him mop the floor with Obama!!

Here is a link to a great page that you can click and watch any of the debates in full.

The Michigan debate: One candidate falls, one runs away with it - Right Turn - The Washington Post

Well Well, the Michigan debate was sure interesting. I thought Newt did very well but most of the talking heads make Romney the winner. The best moment was of course Rick Perry forgetting the energy department as one of his departments he would close down, the other two being the dept. of education and dept. of commerce. Cain was right on target pushing 999 with every opportunity, the last week of sexual harassment charges not fazing him at all though the polls show him taking a small hit. It's looking like it will come down to Mitt and Newt,  my choice being Newt. The CBS debate tonight (Saturday) on foreign policy should be interesting, I expect Newt to wipe the floor with the rest of them, he after all has much more experience. The attached article is a fairly good rundown of the Michigan debate. More later after the CBS debate.

Full Bloomberg Republican Debate In New Hampshire

As of this posting I have not had a chance to see the whole debate. From what I have seen it looks like Romney commanded the drivers seat with Cain holding up second place, Newt pulls no punches, coming on strong, especially when it comes to the Fed and Dodd/Frank. More later, here is a link to watch the full debate online since it was on Bloomberg TV and I expect not available to many viewers.
