Watch for the Newt Gingrich surge after Perry brain freeze and Cain mutiny

Poor Rick Perry.
When you are thrust in the national spotlight you better know your stuff.
Perry had already raised questions about his competency when he endured a lengthy brain fart at a Michigan debate and could not remember which department he was supposed to cut.
Taken along With Cain's habit of making numerous women feel deeply uncomfortable around him, those two are toast as I predicted here some weeks back.
So who's next for the firing line?
If you read the glowing Dorthy Rabinowiz profile of Newt Gingrich in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday then you know.

Step forward Newt.
Here's a few lines of what Rabinowitz wrote “No candidate in the field comes close to his talent for connection...There’s no underestimating the importance of such a power in the presidential election ahead. His rise in the polls suggests that more and more Republicans are absorbing that fact.”
It is well known that the media, like nature, abhors a vacuum.
The notion of Romney coasting uncontested to the nomination is BORING.
So they need a challenger to set up the horse race.
And Gingrich is left standing.
He's also smart and all the bad stuff , the three marriages etc. is all out there.
So wait for the Gingrich drumbeat to begin.
And the not so merry wives of Newt story to get an airing right after.

Seanommelbourne, Your facts about Newt are wrong. Newts wife was the one who requested the divorce. She was not Dying and is still very much alive today. This is one of the liberals many distorted stories that they have been circulating for years. People like you believe every thing the liberal meaia tells you. They will do and say anything to get your votes.

Gingrich served divorce papers on his dying wife some president he would make.

My God, you Obama haters never give up do you. You poor things. If you still don't know anything about the President, why don't you read one or both of his books. You might get a clue, but no, you'd rather make up things and complain about him than actually learn something about him.

Nothing like reporting unsubstantiated accusations as truth regarding Herman Cain, Mr. Roberts. Did it ever occur to you that it is a bit strange that Herman Cain never lived in Chicago, but all of these bimbos who have allegations against him are all from there? And that he must have had a 3 year period of time when he was a cad, but only when he was with the NRA? No accusations before or since that time period? This is a bit curious, don't you think? As for seanomelbourne's comment...the clowns are already in the White House. Any of the GOP hopefuls will be a vast improvement over the economic dolt who resides there now.

Bring on the clowns !! Obama will serve a second term.

Just like the liberals snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in November 2010, the conservatives may be as stupid and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in November 2012.

We can dream of having somebody in there who will protect us from Sharia Law, surely the thing that keeps me awake at night. Also flag burners and gay people. I must hang out in the wrong crowd because I've never seen a flag burner.

Touche,johhnyb! Where was the media in the last election? Certainly not delving into the personal business of the liberal candidate. Still know nothing about him. No old classmates, no old flames but plenty of illegal relatives coming out of the woodwork & then crawling back without deportation. The old double standard @ work.

'When you are thrust in the national spotlight you better know your stuff' You better know how many states are in the union and it helps to know that your wife is Michele (not Michael)!

Newt doesn't have a prayer. Romney will be the GOP nominee and Obama will be the next president...and as a liberal, I find that disgraceful. But politics around the world is now run by selfish scum, moral dwarves and loudmouthed fools, so why should the US be any different?
