Pennsylvanian For President III — Congratulations Newt Gingrich for a landslide, comeback win in tonight’s (Jan. 21) South Carolina GOP Primary.
Mitt Romney and the old media fired just about everything they had at him but when the smoke cleared he was still marching forward and breathing fire.
It was almost as though he was Godzilla.
One suspects his adversaries are getting low on ammo, and they aren’t going to leave much left for Obama.
Granted, Gingrich made his fame as a congressman from the 6th District of Georgia and now lives in McLean, Va. in the Washington Beltway, but he was born in Harrisburg and grew up in Hummelstown.
If he should get the nomination and win in November he would be the first native-born Pennsylvanian since James Buchanan who won in 1856.
The SC voters were certainly drawing on their inner liberal when they voted for Newt. I can’t support a person who can’t garner the support of his colleagues who worked with him in congress and who doesn’t understand the workings of the free market. SC voters voted for the person who demonstrated the most emotional outbursts and took it to the media ( a surrogate for Obama, in this case.). This won’t play in a general election where the 30% independents vote is the determining factor. Newt can’t beat Obama. And I want to beat Obama.
I don’t think Newt would be happy to be mentioned in the same paragraph as James Buchanan who is considered by most Americans to be the worse president of the United States—even worse than his fellow Democrats Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama.
How do people like this ever get the most important job in the world?
I would prefer Rick Santorum, but if Newt is chosen as the GOP nominee, I be at the head of the line to vote for him. ABB.
