Newt Gingrich

Newt Gingrich recently got my undivided attention as a voter. I should say as a voter of Cajun/French ancestry. In a nationally aired commercial smearing Mitt Romney I heard the phrase "and Mitt Romney speaks French" and I was taken aback.

More news is coming out about Newt Gingrich and it doesn't look good for the former Speaker of the House.  Bob Dole said that Gingrich would pose problems for other Republicans.  In addition, comments he made in the 80's about Ronald Reagan are coming back to haunt him...

Tootie Landry gives her humerous take on presidential politics on today's edition of "Not Necessarily The News." Hey! I’m Tootie Landry and this is what I found out today! Yep, I’ll be the first to say, I’m already tired of the Republican Presidential Primaries...

Newt Gingrich has made the claim that he has helped to create 27 million jobs.  He says he was able to do that during his time in Congress from the Reagan years all the way up to his time as Speaker of the House. Is this accurate or does this raise an eyebrow...

Ann Coulter recently came out and said that South Carolina voters had chosen Newt Gingrich because they liked his snide comments more than the idea of actually beating Barack Obama.  Her comments were part of an interview she did with Fox And Friends this weekend...

The first question of last night's Republican candidates debate got a really serious response from Newt Gingrich.

Newt Gingrich is running for President, but is he ready to be president?  His ex-wife doesn't think so.  In an interview with ABC News, she said that the former Speaker came to her asking for what she called an open marriage. Texas Governor Rick Perry came out with an endorsement of Gingrich today, but I can imagine that his comments about cheating on your wife will not help Gingrich much in the c

Former President Jimmy Carter is claiming that Newt Gingrich, candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, is developing a campaign message that appeals to a prejudiced point of view.

Sarah Palin told everyone in South Carolina what she would do if she was in their shoes.  She said that she would vote for Newt Gingrich.  Now for some, they will see this as an endorsement, but for Governor Palin, it isn't. Her reasoning is that she wants the process to go on and said that we need to have the candidate for President go through a vetting process that is more stringent than it was

Newt Gingrich had an interesting exchange during the debate last night in South Carolina.  We'll run through the sound and let you decide if he is on the way back in this campaign.  Also, is Gingrich being racist with his comments?

Mitt Romney is now claiming that his Romneycare healthcare plan in Massachusetts is based on conservative principles, in that it is a conservative idea to ask you to pay for your own healthcare rather than have the government do it.  Given that do you agree that it is a conservative idea or is the former Massachusetts Governor wrong...

A couple of things are hitting the news today that could concern the Gingrich campaign.  First, he appears to be slipping in Iowa, just a few weeks before the caucus.  Secondly, in a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Gingrich did not poll well against the President, not only seeing a 51-40 percent deficit against Barack Obama, but also having 50 percent of participants saying that they abs

After seeing the up and down polls for Republicans, it's clear that there needs to be a sober judgment of who the candidates are and what they stand for. Is Gingrich conservative?  Is Romney liberal?  What do you think?  Let's spend some time talking about it today...

Mitt Romney is now having to come up with an answer for an extremely legitimate challenge coming from what many of us would have considered unlikely possibility just a few weeks ago in Newt Gingrich.  He has been shooting some negativity the former Speaker's way in an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier...

  Poll after poll have been making the case that Newt Gingrich is on the way back up in the polls.  One story in particular shows that some of his staffers that left his campaign are now returning.  In addition, the former Speaker of the House has said that he is, according to many he has spoken with, one of the best debaters in the GOP field and the one that many want debating Obama in the fall o

Newt Gingrich has found himself in a position no one had thought possible.  He is considered one of the frontrunners of the 2012 campaign.  This is the same Newt Gingrich that everyone wrote off when most of his campaign staff quit en masse...

A recent poll from CBS News now has the Republican field led by Herman Cain, followed by Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney neck and neck.  Herman Cain's problems have been obvious, but he also has issues with his 9-9-9 plan and his foreign policy experience...
