No kidding. I don't think I could hack a full 11 months of Romney vs. Obama. Let theentertainment fireworkspassionate campaigning continue!"It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."

Agreed, for multiple reasons. First, obviously, is the entertainment value. Second, his presence has made Romney a better campaigner. And C, with Newt throwing every conceivable argument against Romney that he can, it may weaken the Dems ability to use those same arguments down the road; perhaps the public will react with a "yeah, we've heard all that" and the effectiveness of the opposition's barbs will be diminished. Oh, and fourth, I'm mesmerized by Callista.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI hope not!

Sadly I agree. This is now personal for Newt. He'll only stop when the money stops.Originally posted by All-American View PostMethinks the lot of you are too hasty in declaring the end of Newt's candidacy. We've not seen the last of him."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Stop saying "methinks".Originally posted by All-American View PostMethinks the lot of you are too hasty in declaring the end of Newt's candidacy.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Jon Stewart, cited Newt's famous joining of Nancy Pelosi in a promo pleading for an end to global warming; Newt realizes that the planet is sick and now wants to trade it for a younger one.Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostSomeone quipped: "Newt wants to trade in our current planet for a younger one.""I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

Dana Milbank agreesOriginally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI hope not!
We felt discomfort for you when Fox News, playing on a big screen at your Victory Party, projected Romney’s win at 8 p.m. sharp. We felt pain when we heard that your concession speech might have to be delayed because there weren’t enough supporters to fill the seats behind you. We felt anguish when we learned that some of the “supporters” on the floor were in fact onlookers from a hardware convention.
But when you emerged after 9 p.m. Tuesday to give your speech, you spoke directly to “the elite media” about your intentions: “I just want to reassure them tonight: We are going to contest every place, and we are going to win, and we will be in Tampa as the nominee in August.”
Thank you for that, Newt. As your most ardent fans, we in the media are greatly relieved.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Why is Romney going to Minnesota before Nevada? Only thing I can think of is to court Michele Bachmann. I guess she could be helpful with all the Tea Partiers in the west that are coming up.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali

The Minnesota caucuses are coming up this month, but that is interesting. I think Bachman's old debate coach is now Mitt's new debate coach (a Liberty University guy). I wonder if there are some amicable relations there.Originally posted by CJF View PostWhy is Romney going to Minnesota before Nevada? Only thing I can think of is to court Michele Bachmann.

As nutty as Bachman can be, her endorsement (as you noted) would be helpful with the Tea Partiers that The Gingrich needs, and even better, hopefully push Palin further out of the way.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

The Minnesota Caucus is less than one week away. You can't just plant yourself in one state anymore. There are 4 caucuses (and one non-binding primary) within the next week.Originally posted by CJF View PostWhy is Romney going to Minnesota before Nevada?
