Is the Republican love affair with Newt over?

[^_^ 5,021]

DES MOINES -- A new survey from pollster Scott Rasmussen shows support for Newt Gingrich in Iowa has fallen sharply in recent days. The poll shows the former House speaker with the support of 20 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers -- down from 32 percent in the last Rasmussen survey released November 15.

Gingrich has now fallen into second place in the Iowa race, behind Mitt Romney, who is at 23 percent, up from 19 percent in the last Rasmussen survey.

The complete poll results are: Romney, 23 percent; Gingrich 20 percent; Ron Paul, 18 percent; Rick Perry 10 percent; Michele Bachmann, 9 percent; Rick Santorum, 6 percent; and Jon Huntsman, 5 percent.

Ron is kinda hanging in there isn't he.

Ron Paul would be as good a nominee as Newt Gingrich. Maybe even better.

Ron Paul has principles, Newt doesn't

The problem is that most Republicans don't really seem to embrace what "smaller government" really is

The question is about 11 years late--it was over after Newtm during his half-dozen years as House-Speaker, squandered away the gains GOP made in 1994.

Revolutions, like most political actions, are cyclic.

Newt has the numbers going in. There is only Romney and Paul out there that are the other viable candidates at this point. I can't believe either Newt, or Paul ever had a chance, but Romney is that evil. We are probably screwed, unless the Republicasn make further gains in the House, and take control of the Senate, given that as incompetent and spineless as Obama is at this point, he is probably still going to get reelected. More gridlock, less spending, and an ineffective government is what the country needs until 2016 when some new leaders might gain favor with the American electorate (if the world economy doesn't crash before then or an asteroid doesn't destroy civilization on 12/21/12).

I meant 12/21/13. We still got another year before we test the Mayan (destruction precedes a new beginning) prophecy.

The media's love affair with Newt is over. The GOP hasn't loved him for a very long time.

"A vote for Newt is a vote for Israel!"

Let's see how the strategy works.

All I know is that it's a lot more boring since Herman Cain left the race.

I don't think the media really liked him. Even Fox has been giving him the cold shoulder.

Michael Savage has offered him a million dollars not to run

I also saw where 42% have yet to firm up their choices. This will be decided by who wants to stand outside for a couple hours in the cold Iowa winter.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Just remember Mike Huckabee won the last one and look where that got him

Though Newt is polling pretty strong in South Carolina and Florida

The liberal media did. Fox is an arm of the GOP.
