DamnYankees: Why not - itd be an amusing few weeks if it happened.

It would be fun wouldn't it? If Newt got the nomination...but I guess the same could be said of Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, et al.

Romney will spawn a Teabagger 3rd partyish nominee. that will be fun

Huntsman and Johnson don't have a snowball's chance in hell

Gingrich has been deliberately parsimonious in his media appearances and press releases, as well as his personal campaigning, in order to maintain the image of being a statesman instead of just another news-cycle-focused, vote-grubbing pol.

In otherwords Newt knows once he starts doing more the public is going to remember how much they hate(yes Hate) him and is milking this for all he can.

Newtmentum sounds like something you would apply to a rash caused by Santorum.

The media is trying like hell to make this 2012 race exciting. It will be Romney and he will lose.

It almost sounds like a measure of viscosity.

Well, you would know. I don't want to know why Santorum causes a rash though.

On the plus side, they'll have four more years to piss their pants in fear and complain endlessly about how nothing is getting done, even though it's the Republicans fighting tooth and nail from getting anything done.

But they're really good at those two things, so it works out for them.

Every one who is running will have their time in the spotlight whether than have a chance in hell or are just trying to sell their books and play to their own cults. That's how the process works.

GAT_00: What, have we already forgotten how his campaign blew up in one week the first time?

The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment's cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won't be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.

My first experience as a campaign volunteer was in working for Newt's opponent in GA 5 in 1998, Gary Pelphrey. It was to impress a girl. It didn't work. It being the impression of the girl and the Pelphrey campaign.

Oh, do it. Imagine, Gingrich basking in the glow of an entire audience clapping, slowly, loudly, rising to their feet as one. He thinks he has a shot, he thinks he has a chance...

And then he gets creamed on the next edition of Meet the Press and has to go into hiding. A thing of beauty.

I've been wondering... if their entire goal is to make sure Obama doesn't win another term, and he wins another term, what will their goal be? Will they start cooperating now that their goal is futile? Or will they double down and try to get him impeached for anything he does?

They will identify the 2016 Democratic contenders and throw them under the bus for 4 years. I think Grayson, Feingold and a few others should announce in 2013 they are running in 2016, then back out in June 2015 just so the real contender can show how much time the GOP wasted chasing phantom candidates.

Their only goal is to disrupt and derail Government as much as possible so that Private Enterprise can fill the vacuum. Everything else is window dressing, they can do so when in power, or out.

"The lengthy verbal duel, with time for fully-developed answers not 30-second sound bites, was designed to circumvent the media's usual entertainment format, designed to produce TV news, gotchas and show off network stars as interrogators. The topics are current economic and social issues and the timekeeper is Rep. Steve King of Iowa."

Hahahahaha. That is a-mazing. The self-awareness lacking in that paragraph is excellent.

Honestly, I think that Newt will end up holding the crazy vote bag when the music stops. Cain will fall, and Newt is next in line. He'll be peaking just as the primaries start.

The funny thing is that if he hadn't shot himself in the foot at the beginning he would have already gone though his bubble already and next in line would be...Santorum, I guess?
