Politics Counts
How do my Republican friends over in Florida feel about inserting an "Open Marriage" plank into this year's GOP platform? Will that question be debated tonight in Tampa?
the guys at the WWF must be writing for the GOP show. Someone missed putting it on pay per view
As a Catholic I am embarrassed - Newt's on his third wife, while the Mormon is still on #1. What gives Newt toe right to say he will defend the "sanctity of traditional marriage"?
The farcical Gingrich is, not only an embarrasment to his party, but to the nation as a whole!
A fine family man with two daughters will have an advantage over a fellow who had multi year affairs with women who were not his wives at the time. Are there others? I do like the thought of evangelicals pulling the lever for the open marriage candidate!!
What happened to the only true conservative, Ron Paul?
Conservatives voting for Newt are like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.
But at least he's not a Mormon.
Seriously, it is amazing that Mitten poured so much time and money into Florida -- and he's this far behind in the polls?
If Mittens loses Florida, it is OVER for him.
Vote for Mitt.
Better than 50% of marriages ends in divorce. Most families have a member who has had to deal with such a situation. Of all the important issues facing this country I don't believe that aspect of Newt's personal life has much meaning in the nomination process. It's just hypocritical liberal media distraction from what's important.
The primal delight we can enjoy in seeing Newt eviscerate another MSM stooge doesn't make up for the pain of another Obama administration. We need to focus on November, not the TV.
I can see President Obama now, dancing around his desk at news of Newt in another state lead.
Only leftist stooges fail to see the irony of attacking a candidate for getting a divorce or two and then that society accept same sex marriages. You cannot have it both ways...uh, check that, you probably do....
It's not Newt's personal life (i.e divorces) that is a concern, it is his hypocrisy in claiming that he upholds family values and the sanctity of marriage - pure BS! Give me an honest Mitt any day over a pandering , hypocritical Newt!
"Better than 50% of marriages ends in divorce."
But not that many start with adultery.
Finally we have someone who can defeat Obama. Romney is Obama Lite.
I agree that the divorce issue should have been put to bed (NPI) with Mr. Reagan's election.
However, the question arises of how Mr Gingrich will honor his sacred oath to "protect and defend", when he has shown so liitle respect for an equally sacred oath to "honor and cherish", not just once, but multiple times.
I think it is fair to question why he would not treat the former oath as he has treated the latter. He appears, at this stage, as a man unable to honor his oaths, and I would like to hear an explanation from his own lips as to why we should believe him this time.
Never underestimate Republican voters' capacity to completely ruin an electoral opportunity.
See response to Mr. Schweddy above.
I believe the statistic is nearer 25%, but the divorces are not the point, it is that Obama and Axelrod's work is being done for them buy GOP primary voters. Are there no adults in this party? Newt is not a man of principle, he is a man of insufferable ego. He makes the egocentric Obama appear humble. Please, let's get a candidate who can win!!!
You have got to be kidding. Newt wasn't qualified to be Speaker. He belongs on a college campus - although he is the kind of self important, air bag Professor I used to avoid. If he gets the nomination I may either vote for Obama (making gagging noises) or vote for the Libertarian candidate as a protest. I will not vote for this reptile. The South and barefoot evangelicals are an embarrassment to the party. God help us.
Really interesting to watch. Newt was playing nice and loosing huge. He goes negative and wins huge. What's that say about the base?
I laughed at the comment that focus on newts personal life is a product of the liberal media. As if conservative media doesnt focus on that aspect just a much. I do agree its a far less important issue than say, their economic policies.
The other post that made me laugh was the "only leftist stooges". No, dummy, it's not attacking newt fr getting a divorce. Its attacking the hypocrisy of so-called conservatives who do things like ask for open marriages, get married three times, and condemn others for affairs web as thy have one themself, who also are against gay marriage because they champion the sanctity of marriage.
You can't make this stuff up. Truth really is stranger than fiction. So as a conservative who still votes in the Republican primaries my main choice will come down to two Hobson choices. The first is a dirtbag serial adulterer who can at least energetically advocate and vocalize conservative positions, although considering his group hug with Nancy Pelosi and his positions on healthcare you have to wonder if Newt believes any of them.
The second guy is a really nice and apparently moral man who is effectively a liberal. If liberals seem intent on running to hell with America in a handbasket, Mitt's idea of conservative seems to be a slow walk toward hell with a much smaller handbasket.
I don't think he coined the phrase, but the late Samuel Francis often referred to the GOP as the "Stupid Party". He never looked more right.
Every Republican who initially ran for president and every one that even thought about running was better than the current president. Most Democrats who might have considered running are also better than the current president.
I'm in Florida, and a bit stunned that Gingrich -- with ALL his obvious flaws -- is in the lead. But given the dearth of electable candidates in this Motley group (and for the record, I WANT TO VOTE REPUBLICAN, but am having a hard time seeing how I will ...), its not so shocking to see Romney will so little firm support, or the weekly flirtation with the "Flavor of the Moment."
We desperately need a third party to get away from the social conservative that can somehow see a moral man like Mr. Romney lacking, yet pretend that Gingrich is anything but a ethically and morally challenged individual. The anything but Romney vote speaks for itself ---- we all know why evangelicals will not vote for him, but no one dare speak the truth of it. The DEMS will be laughing all the way to Obama's reelection … and I will be backing Mr. Paul's third party bid or staying home. The name is no less a narcissist then Obama, and no less ethically challenged.
Boo to the news media and so called experts that always tells Americans who is a better candidate.
This time I am voting with my heart, not my brain.
We already got one incompetent disaster and we do not need another one.
The establishment says Romney is best to go against Obama, I say it is Gingrich.
We need a real Nationalist that says "Screw Washington and Screw the news media"
glad to see Mitt taking the gloves off in the latest anti-Newt TV ads airing in FL. Given the state of the FL housing market, Newt has a lot of 'splaining to do about his role at Freddie Mac. Add his history of ethical challenges (personal and political) and he would spell doom for the GOP this fall.
Having an African American president has officially driven most GOP voters insane.
Newt will take on Obama ,Romney is stupidly still attacking newt instead of Obama,what a jerk or really bad advice from his Campaign managers .
Why do so many social conservatives believe that Newt would destroy Obama in a debate? Seriously, has Newt ever said anything in a debate that would be appealing to independents? If you think Newt could beat Obama by showing up at the debates and thoroughly destroying him, then you need to get your head out of the clouds. Newt may be better at thinking on his feet than Obama, but he will NOT be enough to win the general election.
Newt will never win against Obama. I'm a conservative, and I would never vote for him. Four more years of Obama would be less damaging to the nation than four years of Newt. In addition to his serious ethics violations, Newt wants to destroy one of the basic principles of the Constitution by allowing himself, as President, to override the decisions of Supreme Court that he doesn't like.
Newt lied to his wife for 6 years but that is the media's fault, he lied to the ethics committee but that is his lawyers fault. Do you see a trend here? When he looses to Obama I wonder whose fault that is going to be. (It is not so much that Newt is divorced as that he lived a LIE for 6 years. How honest can this guy be?)
Speaker Gingrich is a lifelong conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagen who has actually delivered results (see getting Bill Clinton to sign welfare reform and balance a budget). What has Romney ever delivered except for Romneycare and liberal judicial appointments? Go by what they have fought for over the course of their lives, not what they say when running for a particular office (ie being pro-choice /pro-gay rights /pro health care mandates when running for Mass Governor and then flopping to being suddenly conservative when running for President. Where was Mitt in the 90's?! (o yeah, backing Paul Tsongas,,,,,,,,,,,)
Newt was a lobbyist for Freddie Mac. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt was kicked out of Congress by his fellow conservatives. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt was a serial adulterer. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt supported the individual healthcare mandate when he started his campaign last year, only to change his mind a week later. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt wants to destroy the Constitution by taking power away from the Supreme Court to giving it to Congress and the President. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt helped destroy the GOP majority in Congress in the 1990s. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt has supported big-government economic solutions for decades, such as ethanol subsidies. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt was an elitist college professor. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Newt doesn't understand basic free market principles. Why doesn't this bother Florida voters?
Floridians need to realize that the lovable, "witty" commenter on Fox News is the same hypocrite that has lived the life a power-hungry, elitist liberal.
What's happening to the GOP? Bec. of his debate theatrics, Is Newt the best they can come up with? Do they want Obama to be reelected?
Newt has flipped me because he goes after the elites: media, judiciary, and political elites. I am tired of them telling us what is best for America. They don't represent me.
There are a lot of shapely snowbirds here in Florida. Callista is minding the home front in Georgetown, which means Newt is free to nose around. Oil me up!
who cares ? iam sick of the republican racest views, and iam a white man...they all suck...
Get all your facts straigt. New will issue the report he gave congress and Fredie Mac in 2005 about the reform needed and the problem that is not being addressed. Get the fact before you spew talking points from the establishment.
Also Newt ran 3 business with payroll and everything, And Newt got so called thrown out from the speaker seat because the establishment didn't like his reagan ways. hats when the republicans started to move left. Wake up Mitt is wrong
If you think Newt was not lobbying for Freddie Mac, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Listen ... if you are COMPLETELY BRAINLESS and INCAPABLE OF SELF THOUGHT, then go ahead and listen to what the news media has to say. Follow their lead. Vote for who they tell you to vote for. I am a lot like Newt. I have been married three times. My first wife cheated on me. My second wife was a mental case (a lot like Newt's second wife) and she went off the deep end and filed for divorce blaming ME! All the while, I remained UNMARRIED or UN-INVOLVED for over three years waiting on her to get her life in order. She is STILL a psycho and a bitter bitty. I believe in marriage...it just did not believe in me. I have been MUCH MORE careful on my third wife...a professional and a Christian. By they way, you liberal bozos...do you remember the sitting President Bill Clinton? He has an AFFAIR in the Oval Office...and that is OKAY? Double standards mean NOTHING to those of us who have an IQ higher than our shoe size. This is 2012...conservatives got a taste of taking back the country in 2010. We will NOT be swayed by the elitist of EITHER party in 2012. We will take back this country...and it you want social welfare, then move your lazy butts to Canada or Europe! America is BACK and it is BACK stronger than ever. Go Newt, Go!
I WILL NEVER get my moral guidance from Washington, so the the past or present wives thing is no big deal to me. I really like the contracts with America that he developes - AND DELIVERS ON - that are the draw. We need to Repeal Obama and his ObamaCare and get on with the rebuilding.
As a conservative, I have a huge problem with both Clinton and Gingrich. I don't trust either of them. Clinton is a Democrat and Gingrich is a Republican, but that doesn't make it okay to rationalize Gingrich's actions and condemn Clinton.
I don't need the government to teach my kids morals and ethics, that's what I'm here for. What I can't do is change the economy. We need someone who can take on obama in the debates so we can get him out!! Any of the 4 candidates will start to turn the country in the right direction. Mitt starts to stammer during the debates and doesn't have good answers to subjects he knows will be asked. Obama is too skilled at debating not to take advantage of that. Also the "delight we can enjoy in seeing Newt eviscerate another MSM stooge" comes from knowing he will do the same thing to obama.
To quote a friend of mine:
"The GOP have been cultivating a base of mouth breathers, bigots, and religious fanatics for years. These people think that Rush and the cryptoNazi talking heads on Faux News are smart guys, real political thinkers. Newt is one of those types: a carnival snake oil salesman. They'll rally round him in herds, rather than an actually intelligent northeastern robber baron. The GOP establishment have screwed themselves into Newt."
Newt is deceitful lying you know what. I will never vote for this moron.
Hooray for Newt! He's the man to beat Obama! Finally, I can see some "hope and change!"
In the primaries it is not a big factor, but in the general election, many conservative Republicans like my parents are going to be very wary about a vote that makes a Callista (the 6-year mistress and long-time adulteress) the First Lady. It might be a double standard, but it is a problem for the GOP.
As a fiscal conservatives I can support Romney but not Newt. Social Moderates like myself will be forced to support Obama. Sad thing here is Newt is neither a fiscal or social conservative. Nor is he an outsider. So I guess the Repulican South think by getting rid of Hispanics, women, and social moderates it can win with some abstract southern idea on being Christian. By the way I think Newt has also alienated the business community too. Tent keeps getting smaller, good job Florida
If Newt GingRICH continues to lead for the Republican Nomination there will be many Republicans looking for an alternative like possibly Donald Trump. We will pour all our contributions to the Senate and House races so that we can keep the House and maybe win the Senate but Presidential contributions will dry up if GingRICH is the candidate for President. And we will vote for Donald Trump, Donald Rumsfeld, Donald Duck but never GingRICH!!!
What a hoot! Twice divorced "catholic" lecturing us on morality and the values of traditional marriage! I don't care what a politician does in his private life until he tries to lecture me on it - then he'd better walk the walk.
Based on his lifestyle, Newt doesn't believe that rules are meant for him. Therefore, he was not meant to rule!
...if he lied to his wives, he'll lie to you. You can remain in denial, but you know it's true!
If Newt gets the nomination I'll vote for Obama. Who in their right mind would pick this lunatic over Romney. I am socially moderate and I thought in these economic times, we could actually elect an adult.
It is just inane that the Pub Estab. Middle of the Roaders fear first, Newt , and then Obama. Yikes. Obama is the enemy as is the Reid Senate. Newt is just the symbol of the BASE, conserv, Evang. outrage of liberal radical progressive Obama and Reid+San Fran Nan type Dems. People are angrier at Obama that they are Newt or in fact any Pub running for office. Bama has to run on his failed record and it is a doozy. So, if the GOP in DC will realize that whoever the BASE picks, will unify with Indies, Pubs, TEAS, Reagan Dems and Libertarians and they will defeat the worse Prez in my 73 years. C'mon, Pub elites, wake up and start to rally the voters to defeat the real enemy of America: Obama and the Reid Senate.
Does anyone really believe that a business man like Mitt, someone who will say anything for a sale or a deal; or a life time politicians like Newt, someone who says too much about everything and will otherwise say or do anything to get what he wants. . . . . can lead our nation. But then again, who would have ever figured that a Community College basketball player who would do anything to be able to redistribute the wealth to his friends and colleagues could be elected to the presidency. Its America in the 21st century. ITS THE "ME" GENERATION.
Lots of yahoos and blowhards here today trying to spread their mind's virus to others. Not happening.
If Mitt loses Florida, he should consider bowing out early. The base clearly has a different perspective than the establishment on the best candidate to defeat Obama. I actually believe it is a foregone conclusion either way. Obama may poll well, but likeability is not going to translate to trust as president the second time around.
It will be interesting to hear what the lame duck president tries to do in his last state of the union. Expectation: Say whatever he can to get re-elected. '12 difference: The American people won't be duped twice. Bank on it.
From the comments, it seems like everybody here voted for Obama. Because you know absolutely nothing about politics. Your commenting on his wives while Clinton not only had an affair while in office, but he lied in his state of the union address. And yet people still defend him. You gotta go both ways people. And when Newt gets the nomination and then becomes President, you will all see how good of a person and politician he is. He has dominated the debates and he is the most fair person in either party.
I think Governor Romney made a major strategic mistake in the last GOP debate and in his proposed tax plan, when he admitted paying an effective tax rate of 15% in one Question, and then in a second Question advocated that the current highest marginal tax rate be reduced from 35% to 25%. Romney knows that his low effective tax rate results, in part from a corrupt Congress legislating that managing partners in private equity and other investment funds receive incentive compensation in the form of carried interest taxed at a 15%, while all other incentive compensation in the U.S. economy, (e.g., income from the exercise of employee stock options) is taxed as ordinary income. To avoid the appearance of a privileged elitist and hypocrite, he should have advocated for a 15% flat tax rate for everyone. Instead, his economic plan comes across as a marginal improvement in a deeply flawed and corrupt federal tax code and his candidacy a marginal improvement over Obama. Moreover, the people of South Carolina may agree with Gingrich, that toying with a broken and corrupt tax, entitlement, and election system is insufficient to save the Republic from becoming an entitlement state and a modern version of the fallen Roman Empire.
The rage of Gingrich fits the rage of the GOP. Rage for MSM, rage at political correctness, rage at socialism.
The impulse to support Gingrich is understandable, but it is a reaction to four years of being sucker-punched by Obama. I think Gingrich has a personality problem. The level headed approach is to improve upon our current leadership with Mitt Romney, instead of inviting greater polarization.
The election is for president, not House Republican Whip.
God save us all when in this era of government corruption, spending and deceit that we want YET ANOTHER lifelong politician to help fix the mess. Newt is brilliant but is absolutely not what we need as president. He will be the 'conservative' Obama with big impossible ideas and ZERO management skills. Romney is the only plausible answer in this group. He is a manager and knows. He is not a blowhard bomb thrower that we get with Newt and Obama. WTH is wrong with you people!?!!!!!
Wow, it's clear the country is not ready for a Mormon president. The evangelicals will never forget that the US had to send an army into Utah to tame the "cult" once upon a time. It doesn't help that Romney can't articulate well. His thinking is too multi-dimensional to be put into words simply. It's a shame. Maybe Huntsman will do what Mitt couldn't, but during the next cycle if Newt doesn't win, Chris Christie is going to rock the house. He absolutely killed the Meet The Press interview on Sunday. He was awesome.
Looks like it's going to be Newt.
Good. This country needs to have it out.
We are witnessing a replay of the civil war. This time the slave owners (ie the rich) house their slaves in the 3rd world.
Why do presidential elections come down to the least of 2 evils? The country wants to find a replacement for Obama, but there needs to be a good choice. Otherwise, they will likely stay with the status quo. As it stands right now, a good choice is not there. I will vote for anyone other than Obama, as he has failed to deliver a solid recovery, but I wish there was a better alternative. Why didn't someone with a solid record like Mitch Daniels run? Whoever wins the republican nomination is going to need a very good VP pick to solidify the ticket.
Newt says:
"I have enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet. And I'm doing it. I am now a famous person. I represent real power."
"It doesn't matter what I do. People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."
He wants to be king, not president.
And one last Newtism:
"She isn't young enough or pretty enough to be the President's wife." Speaking of his ex-wife. (They didn't say if this was his H.S. teacher ex-wife or #2.)
The morality of GOP is at stake with the preferences for Gingrich in Florida. But the other guy, Romney, is also no better than his opponent Newt.
Newt is B-Job King of Washington. Check this out:
I agree with Steve on Christie's interview Sunday on Meet the Press. He is great at framing the answer in a way that everyone can understand and makes the point. Marco Rubio is also great as well. They are much better than the group we have now.
I say we welcome the house wreaking wh*re as the new first lady.
As a registered Republican I could never vote for Gingrich. I'll still vote but very likely not for the GOP candidate. The Republicans missed the boat in letting Huntsman leave the race.
Truth is, the majority of Americans are moderates - not extreme liberals or extreme conservatives. Romney is the only candidate who truly represents the middle ground.
This dough-boy is the best the Republican party can do shows that the party is devoid of any ideas and ideals.
This guy is not only a big liar but also a cheat. Both on personal and professional level.
Newt used to be my congressman.
If you want Obama to be reelected, nominate Newt.
What form of contraception did Newt use when he was cheating on his wife?
Headline should read "Four More Years for Obama".
How about multiple choice question from Brian Willams tonight:
Brian: "So, Speaker Gingrich, do you think that ham-fisted media attack questions like the one from John King last week are worth: Three, Eight or Ten points in the polls?
Follow up: "How much more do you think CNN can help you by baiting an angry, republican primary electorate?"
Follow up: "Do you think they know we want to see the most bombastic, yet un-electable nominee possible?"
Follow-up: "Do you think they'll catch on?"
Heck, why not just run Rush Limbaugh!!
the only people for Gingrich are his friends and family, and those independents who were stupid enough to vote for Obama - and of course cross-over progressives everywhere, who finally see someone who Obama can beat.
Defeating Obama is job 1 for all fiscal centrists and conservatives, and I am proud to be one of them. Romney is the best man for the job at this point. Gingrich will get slaughtered by Obama, and what's worse, he's not really conservative, but more of a populist who does well at debates, not dissimilar from Obama himself.
How many times do Americans have to get burned before they get it? Follow the money and see who is donating to who's campaign. Why do the people not care the major donors always give to both parties except Ron Paul who stands alone? Why do you think the establishment and media shun him? He cannot be bought and controlled so they will do anything to stop him. When people give millions to your campaign, don't you expect they expect to write the legislation favoring them and the candidates who they put in office to do their bidding for them. How much will they owe the special interests and lobbyists they take money from. I suggest someone make a list of the major donors and see who is taking the money. I am sure you will find it is all of them except Ron Paul but that also include Obama big time. Policies will never change, regardless of which party is in and the puppet masters are working behind the scenes to control their puppets using their TelePrompTers. The bankers, other donors and bundlers write the legislation that benefits the 1 percent to the detriment of the middle class. We are being played by the banksters and the media and sadly the masses just keep voting the way they are told to for the same slick bought and paid for politicians and expect a different result. " Insanity" Short memories I guess or they have their hand out too.
We only have one chance to get this right. Vote Ron Paul
Callista "the first home wreaking wh*re first lady" Gingrich
I am a registered independent who supports Romney, my wife is a registered Democrat who supports Romney even though she voted for Obama last election.
She says that if is between Newt and Obama, she will support Obama.
For me, if it is between Newt and Obama I will either not vote for President or vote for Obama.
Newt is a train wreck waiting to happen I can't believe that there are this many blind followers in this country. Sarah Palin and the tea party idiots are shooting all of us in the foot by supporting this wack job. Obama is going to run this country into the ground and the dim-wit branch of the Republiclan Party is facilitating our demise.
Like it or no people, Newt is (a) the most conservative candidate with (b) the best chance of beating Obama. Romney is a moderate, not a conservative, so he's out. Santorum may be the most conservative of the four, but he has no chance of beating Obama, so he's out too. And, Ron Paul? Well, Ron Paul is unelectable. Period. So, if you're tired of Obama's failed fiscal policies, which is to ask, are you better off today than you were four trillion dollars ago, (apologies to Rick Perry), then there is only one one rational choice - Newt Gingrich for President.
The vast majority of Republican and independent voters will vote for the Republican nominee irrespective of who that is. There is no chance that Barak Obama will serve a second term.
The GOP is completely and utterly dysfunctional. First they started primary season with a bunch of back benchers, then threw their weight behind Donald Trump, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry and now Newt Gingrich. It's time for the party elders to get involved. There are no grownups in the room at present.
You'd better hope you're wrong, because Newt could quite literally be the end of this country.
IT seems Romney is running for president of the attack ads..a race he will no doubt win. However the American are on to that nonsense now and find his need to make everyone look bad so he can look good more unseemly than the Marianne Gingrich tell all.
Also, Romney didn't lose the debate because he wouldn't release his tax returns but because he couldn't respond in a bold, clear and concise way.
That's what sunk Cain and Perry. They were hesitant and incomplete in their responses... The American people are looking for someone who is going to leave it all on the field and Gingrich does that.
To those of you who think this is about personal morality and/or 'getting' the MSM and/or ABO, you need to recognize that Newt is dangerously unstable. You vote for him at all our peril.
"The vast majority of Republican and independent voters will vote for the Republican nominee irrespective of who that is. There is no chance that Barak Obama will serve a second term."
Not if it is Newt Gingrich. Obama will smash him, and I hope Shedon Adelson is happy. The support of his Neocon puppet will further excelerate Israel's slip toward extinction. Obama likes Palestine and their supporters way better than Israel. Oh well, it is what it is.
I dislike Obama intensely. I dislike his policies. I can't stand Newt either. Ugh.
Romney looks better and better every day.
Has everyone forgotten that this is the man who has decided he can overrule the Supreme Court if he doesn't like their decisions?
Really, I can't.
Romney is the only hope to beat Obama. Newt will self destruct because he can't help himself. His arrogance will override his intelligence - just wait. Santorum isn't resonating and Paul is irrelevant - unless he runs as an independent. It's about time Republicans wake up and vote for Mitt.
Newt like him or not has turned the tables on the GOP establishment, press and big money. That is a good thing. Secondarily unlike the Mitten he presents well articulated ideas, and concepts that are meaningful and necessary to move our country in new and positive directions.
I am very much anti establishment be it the GOP or DNC that are simply money naggers for the candidate they believe will deliver the best favors to their special interest. Remember all this money does not go unrewarded and the establishment's and big money continue to foster our dysfunctional government of the special interest.
Thirdly Nwet may not win the nomination but he has brought to the GOP debates the most intellegent, articlitate, and provocative GOP canidate in many many years, demonstrated how much the people dispise the press and thier rubbish.
I used to think the GOP was a disciplined group of fairly homogenous people, and that the Democrats were the mess "everyone else." Now it looks as if the GOP is not only disciplined; it is psychotic. Yikes.
Turn off the uppercase rant button.
I'm an 87 year old, lifelong Republican, who will no longer support the party if Gingrich is nominated. I have a strong suspician thre are more than a few like me!
Is this the NY TImes or WSJ? Who cares if Newt asked his wife for an open marriage? Did Clinton ask Hillary if she wanted a cigar? The issue is the policies and reshaping of our freedom by Oweblama . Hopefully the Congress will continue to shackle his communist policies.
I dislike BO but anybody is better than that yoyo. Think about the pipeline.
I'm a liberal Democrat, who was ready to vote for Romney, because I felt his business skills would greatly help this country. But if Newt gets the nomination, the GOP has just lost a crossover vote.
I've voted in every presidential election since 1972, and voted Democrat once ( a mistake I'm not likely to repeat). Why so many think Newt is elelctible is a mystery to me. He's the presidential campaign equivalent of Sharon Angle or Christine O'Donnell -- in short, his nomination hands the election to Obama .... if Newt got angry and goes on a vendetta against Romney based on negativve ads in Iowa, I hate to think what he'll do or say when the Obama-Biden team start piling on.
@Last Rodeo
"Who cares if Newt asked his wife for an open marriage?"
Are you fu**ing kidding me!!! Of course it matters!!!
I have three concerns about Newt. First, issue about his moral character - He was a mature adult when he asked his second wife for an open marriage. Second, he appears to have a conflict of interest with Freddie Mac et al...How can he be objective after taking millions? 3) I want to know how he obtained his wealth during the period he was in congress. The job as an honest congressman isn't going to make somebody rich. How did Newt get so rich? Now Romney, is better suited by his background to deal with the national debt crisis. He's a proven leader with a mind for business. Newt is a proven politician with a mind for making himself rich, while the country gets poorer in debt.
Liberalism is the "resist" party. How can you get anything done when all liberals do is resist. Taking it out on Oedipus. Look, the fall of Capitalism isn't its failures but its successes, the ability of people to sit around all day and make other peoples lives worse by resisting, antagonising. Get with the program, get behind Newt's obvious intellectual capicity-stop resisting!
The Republicans appear to be hell-bent on ensuring a victory...for Obama.
Nice going...geniuses ;-/
Double standards are double standards. If you DON'T condemn Clinton, you certainly CANNOT condemn Gingrich. It was ALLEGED (and denied and never proven by anyone) that Newt wanted an "open marriage" with wife number 2...while he was having an affair with who became wife number 3. ALLEGED...and all the evidence is hearsay - from the Bitter Bitty we know as wife 2. Clinton was getting his pencil trimmed in the Oval Office by a girl young enough to be his daughter and nobody give a rats-butt! Do we see the double-standard here? Has Clinton ever asked for forgiveness? No! Has Newt? Yes!! Has Clinton ever acknowledged his mistakes OR taken responsibility? No! Has Newt? YES!!! Newt is the better of the two men...anybody with an IQ bigger than their hat-size knows that! But then again...name ONE CONSERVATIVE HATING liberal that can admit the truth in this matter and I will turn off this response! Go NEWT! Obama MUST GO!

Third, I want to know how he obtained his wealth during the period he was in congress. The job as an honest congressman isn't going to make somebody rich. How did Newt get so rich? Now Romney, is better suited by his background to deal with the national debt crisis. He's a proven leader with a mind for business. Newt is a proven politician with a mind for making himself rich, while the country gets poorer in debt.
We are voting to stop a twenty year slide resulting in a loss of both our retail product manufacturing base as well as technology driven manufacturing. This has resulted in a net 11-12 TRILLION dollar one way cash flow out of the country and the 10 million jobs that represents. We will not be allowed to continue this. Multi-national corporate capitalism relies on the simplest of tenants, manufacture cheap in a country such as China and sell here at a significant profit- it has failed us in its present form. Also make sure those profits are not capable of being taxed at significant levels. While not in his best interest to alienate Wall Street or Republican establishment at this time- Mr Gingrich is fully aware of the enormous task to return the manufacturing of 60-70% of what we consume back to USA. Mr Romney was part of the problem- hardly is going to offer solutions. Mr Obama is simply lost- he apparently wasn't around in the 60's-70's to see how we got it right.
Re-establishing regional free enterprise with regional banks again being critical (as in the 60's thru 90's) coupled with strong Tax/ Tariff/ Treaty programs to compensate the US/ American workers and business owners for its tremendous consumer marketplace will eliminate the trade deficit and give us a sustainable economy. It may not be fair to the world- tough.
@BroJim Again...
Since Clinton is not running, your point makes ZERO sense!!!
Maybe he wanted an open marriage, maybe he didn't. The point is the guy cheated on 2 of his wives!!!
Have you cheated on 2 of your wives? Me neither!!! Neither has 99% of the American public!!!
....don't even get me started on making his wife first lady
Just for all of the Republican voters in FL, we need a President that can actually run the country.
Doing well in a couple of debates does not qualify for running the country, especially for someone who could hide behind a corkscrew and who had to resign in disgrace as Speaker!! Romney's record is much more respectable.
Fear not-Americans don't elect fat guys as president, especially ones who think they are the almightys gift to voters, and a similar gift to ladies. Married three times--two divorces--like others of his ilk, he "GOT RELIGION", but how did he get by the Catholic church rules on marriage after divorce that was not annulled?I'll bet he 'pulled strings'. Well, anyway Newt's got fire in his belly, and that must be some fire, based on the size of the belly.
Many people feel uncomfortable with Romney because he is a Mormon and wrongly think that he supports polygamy. Yet support Gingrich who in fact wanted a polygamist relationship.
@Flipped: and you're ok with Newt telling you what's good for you? what a sheep you are ! and you think you're the most independent thinker out here. People like you are the reason why America's going down - no brain of your own - just follow the guy who is the most bigoted
Where are all the Ron Paul supporters?
I'm now convinced a portion of the GOP has gone totally nuts. Gingrich? Really? I understand we have to beat Obama, but this a case of "Out of the frying pan and into the fire".
"Mr. Gingrich claims that 'more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.' He's wrong. The number has risen sharply since Obama took office. But Gingrich goes too far to say Obama has put more on the rolls than other presidents. More were added under Bush than under Obama according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service: Under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before or since comes close to that.
Mr. Gingrich has lied so often he no longer recognizes the truth. He is, like his poor mother, frankly bipolar."
Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon."
—- Admiral Horatio Nelson and seconded by B.H.O.
Its pretty evident from the comments being logged on this site that few are prepared to believe Mr. Gingrichs stated repentance for his past behaviour. Thats sad, and says alot about our collective attitude toward forgivness. We are a Christian nation, but fewer of us actually strive to live the faith than ever before in our history. This I believe is the one core reason why families are in such trouble, and why so many are hurt and not knowing how to cope with lifes problems.
Folks, we need to stop and take a good look at ourselves. We aren't going to get better unless we look in the right direction for help
If Newt is a finalist in the selection process, the GOP has much bigger problems than first believed. Cain, Bachmann, Perry and Paul, were not viable to begin with. The best potential prospects declined to run. WOW! Bluster and self-serving rhetoric may stir up the troops but it won't pave the way to success!
"We are a Christian nation..."
Get the f*** out of here with that s***!!!
How would you feel about Newts apology if it was your daughter's life that he ruined???
take away the superpac money and romney is just another 1%-er with nothing to show.
Buckwheat could defeat O'Dufas.
I am glad to see a man of perspective and big ideas leading the "caretaker" candidates.
Newt is Ward Cleaver compared to the Sluts Clinton.
I can't believe these GOP idiots would actually vote for you, but run with it!
Buckwheat could beat O'Dufas.
At least the voters are choosing a man of perspective and big ideas over the "caretaker" candidates.
Newt is Ward Cleaver compared to the Sl*ts Clinton, Antony Wiener and Barney the pervert...
Newt is toast after tomorrow!! Mitt will regain the lead and keep it!! GO ROMNEY!!!!!
If Newt is on the ticket, this will make it three elections in a row I'll be voting for the libertarian.
Ladies and Gentleman,
Please stop the noise. Our country has a bloated and wasteful Federal government on a debt ridden and unsustainable path (Obama borrows $140Billion each month). While Obama is a smart sociallist, he's an incompetent capitalist and poor chief executive.
Newt as president would reshape the Fed as the Founding Fathers designed it for greatness:
1 Small government
2 Low taxes
3 Free enterprise (pro-growth agenda for the job creators)
4 Citizen responsibility
In short, we're looking a CEO capable of managing the Washington mess. Newt can do that.
Dennis AOK OK we don't need your thinking.
I hope Gingrich is not the repub option. I would have to consider voting independant.
KICK SOME A Z Z in FLORIDA
please no ok we don't need your vote. vote Obannnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Sad truth is that the folks in SC put so much emphasis on the ability to debate. All talk, no action and that is what we have now. With these non sensical fights and arguments back and forth among GOPs, we should say taht we sure deserve another 4 years of misery of Messiah!
If Newt is nominated, this will be the first time since Nixon I have not voted Republican for president. Just won't vote at all.
Gary Johnson is looking better and better . . .
If Gingrich wins the nomination, I will vote for him. But he is not beating Barack Obama anywhere in the polls like Romney is and this makes me nervous. Plus, there is also the self-destruct factor. As soon as he takes the lead, he says something dumb which scares away his independent voter support like treating the justices as a subservient branch of government or attacking capitalism that plunges him back down in the polls.
Why vote for another has been. We did that with Dole and McCain. Are we nuts?
All of these guys are more of the same unfortunately, excluding one. The sheeple of America need to wake up, our country is now detaining Senators at airports, things are bad here. More of the same corporatism is not the answer. My vote goes to Ron Paul, I'm sick of these "leaders" trampling all over our constitution. I will never in my life support anybody who is for the indefinite detention of American Citizens without charge or trial. The only candidates who voiced any objections to this (the NDAA) are Ron Paul and Rick Santorum. Santorum scored some major points with me after that, it's truly sad to see them both at the bottom of the polls. Wake up people these are the only candidates who care at all about freedom.
we need to all back someone who is not afraid to say the things that need to be said. this country is going down the drain and no one has the guts to say the truth. think about how life is going to be for your kids not having the opportunities that we had. we need someone that is going to fight for the hard working people of america who want a better life for future generations.
I am a lifelong Republican but would sooner vote for Obama over Newt. I was really hoping Romney would win the primary but it looks like there are so many Republicans today that will vote for the most hypocritical and deceitful candidate over a Mormon. How sad and pathetic the Republican Party has become.
How do we have to think of voting New`t for president. he will be a very dangerous leader. divorcing your wives as soon as they pronounced them cancer patients and that is really sad. he is a liar and nothing else
I don't trust a person (Gingrich) that has been serially a cheater. I don't trust a person who uses bombast and intimidation, and ridicule to win a debate. Anyone who uses those devices is not facing the truth. He blamed a moderator to hide his years of infidelity to those that have depended most on him. How can we possibly trust such a person with our lives under him as president. Apparently, to some, they would trust a serial adulterer more than to trust a president that is so squeaky clean that they have to target his hair as being too neat. Romney has the integrity, and the business and political history of success. Can we be a nation where truth is honored?
Gov. Romney needs to admit that Massachusetts "RomneyCare" was a mistake.
Someone else made this comment earlier today, but it was the best comment all day, so I wanted to repeat it here:
I didn't write this comment, but it is probably the best comment of the day:

As one who considers himself a conservative, I was in complete shock this past week to see Romney drop in the polls and ultimately lose in the SC primary based on attacks that he was too successful in the private market, while Gingrich rose in the polls and ultimately won the SC primary based on evidence that he really does have a moral character that makes Bill Clinton look like a saint. Seriously, what happened to conservatives being about family values and every individual's right to pursue their own success in free and open markets?
It's because he's as exciting as a pickle sandwich, compared to Newt's hot pastrami with mustard.
Tonight will be the "desperation debate" where Mitt either whacks Newt out of the park, or Mitt goes home since he cannot afford to lose Florida.
How in the world can we hope that a man, who has shown twice he cannot keep a marraige oath, will somehow maintain the presidential oath of office? How can a man like this be our commander in chief? Unfortunately Newt's opponents are keeping quite on his moral character, but Obama won't.
Fannie/Freddie, illegal immigration, cap'n'trade, $500K in Tiffany's debt (since written off?), attacks on capitalism, subsidies for "alternative fuels," open marriage.
Florida. What. The. Heck.
Stop it, now. Santorum, Romney, the Lucky Charms leprechaun. You could do better voting for yourselves. Gingrich is the worst candidate since Jello Biafra. Stop this idiocy.
When are the GOP going to realize that a right-wing nut job like Gingrich or Santorum is NOT ELECTABLE in a general election????
There is a lot to consider when electing a President. I believe there is little that any one man can do to aid this beautiful Country until the REAL PROBLEMS are solved. Politicians try to make sense and regulate markets, but we all know that is not the way. Whether we like to think or not, AMERICA is coming into a DEFLATIONARY period. This means that ALL ASSET CLASSES will DROP. If you do not know what Elliott Wave analysis is, then you need to see the evidence @ my blog http://www.AnotherMarketBlog.blogspot.com This is MUST SEE INFORMATION for all who have an interest in the financial markets!
As a life long Democrat who has just lost his job and retirement because of our Presidents policies I will be voting Republican and so will all my family members.
Whether it's Newt of mr. Mitt .
As a lifelong Dem, who wants Obama to win re-election (not because I think he is great, but because the GOP is worse) I could not be HAPPIER with Newt's second surge. I. LOVE. IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rush Limbaugh, sorry Newt Gingrich, is a complete sc*mbag. His biggest weakness is being a hypocrite.
You Demosocialists commentators wouldn't vote for the Republican nominee anyway.
At least Newt can articulate why the extreme left that now controls the Democratic party is doing the same thing to America as they have done in Cuba, the former Soviet Union, Venezuela and North Korea.
What a car load of crapolla. 557 is hardly "Surge" of anything. Except for perhaps grasping for sensational headlines.
Newt articlates well enough alright. lol. Articulated himself out of quite a few violation of ethics charges while speaker of the house. Too bad so many of the other charges stuck to the tune of $300,00 in fines.
And btw, speaking of ethics, I certainly hope his latest wife Calasista, NEVERS GETS SICK.
These republican conservatives so detest Obama that they want to see a pugnacious Gingrich kill Obama in debates. These conservatives are fools. Gingrich is no conservative. He only knows big government because he has never work in the private sector and being a pompous history professor doesn't make him a leader. He is a hypocrite; espousing family values and vilifying Clinton and all the while having extramarital affairs. Now, he says it is because he was so committed to working for his country. Any money Gingrich made after being kick out of office was because he used his big government experience. Those South Carolinians are so naive and plainly stupid.
Looks like Newt Gingrich, or as he refers to himself, Ronald Reagan 2 (LMAO), has decided to burn down the Republicans house.
well guess Obama gets four more years...no way in hell can Newt beat Obama..he is down 46 to 40 in the new Fox new and that is a close poll....I t will be a beat down.Worse than the last election..Even the Queen of the RIGHT ANN COULTER agrees.
Newt is genuine and when he speaks if you don't feel uplifted then it must be fear...when Romney speaks you feel like looking for the remote and finding a charmin commercial. If Romney can't beat Newt...he can't bat Obama......Newt will be the best to speak for the people.....that is the job at hand here....
@big todd
Newt is worthless if he isn't throwing bombs. In a non civilized debate (ie SC) Newt comes off as the winner. In a civilized debate, Newt comes off as the two bit, two timing, lobbyist that he is!!
How is the Newt winning? Honestly he stands no chance against Obama. He has terrible morals. He has no plan. How can people be buying this crap???
The tea trash have created a 1980's-esque movie plot in their head where Newt pounds Obama in the debates. Unfortunately for them, as anybody with a brain can see, the nomination of Newt Gingrich would play out much more like a remake of the 1993 movie cop and a half.
Look out folks, here comes the Newtinator!
It's a democrats dream come true - please may it be the Newt - a landslide for Barack guaranteed!!!!!!
Romney is a good guy, great family and business experience, but overall Newt is much more electable than Romney. Newt doesn't have the $ or the big GOP establishment backing, but has tapped into more of a grass roots conservative reawakening (maybe riding Tea Party coat tails) that has the GOP est types worried.
If Romney wins, the DNC will pummel him on his out of touch wealth and close ties to Wall Street... as much as I don't agree with most of what I hear coming out of OW, they'll have a big influence on independents.
For conservative republicans Newt is going to be looking better every day as they compare/contrast with "Mittens".
Newt has solid conservative credentials (better than Romney's undoubtedly) but has proven he can make big ideas happen across the aisle. For the youngsters (sheez I am only 41!), people really need to do some research and understand what he accomplished in the 90s.... Newt surpasses both Romney and Obama in the intellectual firepower and articulation needed to president.
One more thing... as important as independents are, you have to start with the base in any party. Romney is just a sleeper - in addition to grabbing independents (which polls show he is besting Romney on) Newt will also likely fire up the GOP base like Obama did with Dems in 2008...
His political views are superior to Mitts. But - this personality is scary. You gotta understand that this guy is playing to system to inflate his ego. Political principles are only a tool for him. Wait and see, when he is in power he'll jettison his principles to grab ever more power. He is no different from Saddam of Qaddafi. Be very scared.
Newt needs to really go after Mitt when he brings up the Washington insider angle. We have a Washington outsider in the WH and he is learning on the job and growing government. At this time we need someone who knows how Washington works to fix it. Someone who knows how to work with both Houses of Congress and get the work done. Someone who can balance the budget. We need a Washington insider to get the federal government back on track and stop encroaching on the states.
Obama lack of understanding of the way Washington works is why he needs so many Czars and a teleprompter to govern.
Newt may appear erratic and advocated liberal leanings at times, but when he was in Washington he lead as a conservative. Romney on the other hand, cannot name one thing he did as a conservative when he was in the governorship.
Santorum is the most conservative of the bunch but he cannot win so I think Newt is the one who can bring a coherent message for conservatives. I do not see Romney giving Tea Partiers a place at the table. But with Newt we have a chance to make some changes to the GOP.
Only Newt can go back to Washignton and shake it up! We need Big Ideas not Big money to fix Washington
Ron Paul is the only candidate who will bring about real change. The rest of them are puppets including Obama.
I know I am not the only one - I am a die hard right winger but I will never, ever vote for Newt Gingrich. If Tea Partiers want to cut off their nose to spite their face and elect Newt, more power to them. But I can tell you a sizeable contingent of Conservative voters will sit on their hands and avoid voting instead of choosing between a stable liberal and an erratic, unstable, womanizing ego-maniac conservative.
dr Paul, not mr Paul
Poblems in Washington are not the elected politicians, it's the idiotic voter who puts them into office. How on earth can a value oriented, conservative voter vote for a politiotion who cheated on his wife, divorced two times, was convicted on ethics violations when in the senate, and then after he was booted out of the speakership in the house, worked for a morgage lending company that was partly responsible for getting us into this housing mess.
4 moer years if Obama if Newt wins.
Everyone on here condoning Newt's adultery are missing the point. If he cheats on his wife, he'll cheat on America and he probably already has.
It is interesting to read the comments about Newt's adultery. Are these the same individuals who thought nothing of Bill Clinton's "adulteries", even when those "adulteries" were "done" in the White House? What a double standard - a Democrat can do NO WRONG morally, but a Republican is held to a higher moral standard than anyone else!
Obamney should hire a Blimp with the words 'who is Mitt Romney' on it and tour the country.
Gee, Anonymous, if you feel that "If he cheats on his wife, he'll cheat on America", did you feel that same way about Mr. Clinton when he disgraced the White House ? I doubt it.
Well, Frankie, we already have someone in the White House who violates every principal and grabs more power whenever possible...is that OK with you??
the mainstream media. they flaunt scambag politicians like romney and newt who are the scum of the earth. and they call ron paul "unelectable"
I'm conservative and have been waiting eagerly for the day Obama is out. But I will vote Obama if Gingrich is the nominee, no question. Anyone but Newt. Newt support says much worse things about our country than Obama support. Please, excuse me if you think it's offensive that some of us don't want a cheating, bullying egomaniac to lead our country. And yes, Clinton was a disgrace as well. Please, no repeat.

OAKLAND, calif. — Asked about Corey Brewer's knack for the corner 3, Ty Lawson's eyes lit up like, well, Brewer was wide open for a corner 3.
"He wants his shot, so he knows he's got to get to that corner," the point guard Lawson said with wide eyes and a chuckle. "I don't know how he figures it out. He might be in the paint, he might be the only guy down court, but he's going to get to that corner.
"I know he's going to be waiting there. And if he's not open, I'll probably have that reverse layup, but most times (the defense) is blocking it off, so he gets that open 3."
Brewer, a Nuggets reserve guard/forward, has become a sparkplug for Denver, definitely something the team could use, since the Nuggets haven't been hitting many 3-pointers.
In Friday's win against the Jazz, Brewer made 5-of-8 attempts from beyond the arc.
"It was fun to see a guy get hot like that. We haven't had that all year," Denver coach George Karl said Saturday before the late game at Golden State. "Corey knows how to score points. We run no plays for Corey Brewer, but he gets a lot of shots. Some of it is because he's wild and crazy, but a lot of it is because he knows how to play."
Brewer entered Saturday averaging 11.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in just 23.7 minutes played.
He is the only Nugget to have cracked the top 50 in player efficiency rating (though he is at No. 49). This season, he is 7-for-14 for 3s from the left corner, not bad at all.
"It's just his spacing," said Lawson, who sometimes plays with Brewer and Andre Miller on the floor at the same time. "He knows if he gets to that corner, he's going to get a 3."
As for the Florida alum's role on the team, his coach gave him high praise.
"I think Corey is just a motivator; he's an energizer of our second unit," Karl said. "He comes in with an energy and intensity kind of like Kenneth Faried gives to our first unit. He and Andre have a connection, and everybody is aware that they know each other well and they know where they are. And he's shooting the ball with confidence."

Tomorrow evening is a Thursday night smack dab in the middle of the NFL's offseason, so it's hard to believe we can say this, but it's true: Tomorrow night may be the most important evening of the year for many NFL teams. Of course, this is because tomorrow night is the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft (or, the Annual Selection Meeting). Over the last 20 years, the draft has, for many NFL franchises, become an event of almost make-or-break significance. It is the difference between ending up with Peyton Manning or any number of other quarterbacks taken that year who have not panned out in their professional careers. It is the difference between a decade of playoffs (and a Super Bowl win), and a decade of floundering in frustration. The draft is so significant, because the choices made in the draft are that important. In the day-to-day living of life, we face choices that reflect varying degrees of significance. But we do at times face those moments when, in a very real sense, the future hangs in the balance. Maybe it is the future of our health or marriage or job, but make no mistake: Our choices can have an enduring impact on our future and the futures of others. This is one of the many reasons that we should intentionally and consciously live in an awareness of our need for wisdom from God. It has been said that wisdom is skill for living, but, in the most general sense, wisdom is the practical ability to use knowledge to reach a desired goal. For the follower of Christ, that desired goal is to represent Christ fully and fairly in the way we grow our hearts and the way we live our lives. This approach to wisdom was such a priority for the apostle Paul that he prayed for the followers of Christ at Colosse:
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9).That is a remarkable prayer. To be "filled with the knowledge of His will" is extraordinary by itself, but to be so filled that it is carried in "all wisdom and spiritual understanding" gets to the very heart of what we desperately need for living every day. So, what then do we do? We can begin by praying for ourselves and others the prayer that Paul prayed for Colosse, and we can saturate our hearts in the wisdom of the Scriptures. That platform for wisdom can go far in enabling us to go beyond our worst inclinations to higher ground. Bill Crowder, Sports Spectrum Chaplain

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Boulder wants to make it illegal to park conventional vehicles at an electric car charging station.
Currently it is not against the law to use those parking places and people are ignoring signs telling drivers those spaces are reserved.
The Boulder Daily Camera reports (http://tinyurl.com/k7pb8bq ) the Boulder City Council is considering an ordinance that would make it a violation with a $20 fine to ignore those signs.
It also would require that electric vehicles parked at the spots actually be charging.

Some interesting facts about Deepika Padukone
08th Nov 2007 19.30 IST

Do you know Deepika Padukone was not born in India? And do you know which is her all-time favourite film?
It may sound ironical but as a child Deepika never wanted to be an actress. She says even the thought of joining the film industry did not cross her mind. And today, she is the most-talked-about debutante of year 2007, making her Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om .
On the eve of the film's worldwide release, here are a few interesting facts about Deepika.
Deepika was born in Copenhagen (Denmark) in 1986 to badminton legend Prakash Padukone. Her family moved to Bangalore when she was just 11 months old. Deepika's mother Ujjala is a travel agent.
Following her dad's footsteps, Deepika too played badminton regularly till her tenth standard. Deepika did her schooling from Sophia High School and graduation from Mount Carmel College.
By the time she was doing her graduation, modeling offers began coming Deepika's way. In her modeling career Deepika appeared in several print and television ads.
Deepika learned acting under Anupam Kher and dance under Shiamak Davar .
Her first film was a Kannada flick titled 'Aishwarya'. When Bollywood director Farah Khan first approached Deepika, it was for a movie titled 'Happy New Year'. However, that project was scrapped and Deepika was signed for 'Om Shanti Om'.
On the personal front, Deepika has been linked with model Nihar Pandya, actor Ranbir Kapoor , and cricketers Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh.
Deepika's first dialogue in OSO?
'Kutte, kameene! Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chhod de!'
Deepika's favourite Bollywood actors?
She is particularly fond of the Khan troika, but the one she likes the most is Shah Rukh Khan (that's obvious).
Deepika's favourite Bollywood actresses?
Aishwarya Rai , Madhuri Dixit , Sri Devi and Kajol .
Deepika's favourite film?
'Matrix'. She also likes 'Charlie's Angels' a lot.

text: 1 Dec. 45 at that time, which in that form and scope were then for the first time shown openly enough to become apparent to the broad masses of the Wehrmacht quite apart from anything I can say about it in this short, extremely short exposition. DR. NELTE: Who gave the order regarding the collaboration with the Ukrainian group? You spoke yesterday . . . LAHOUSEN: Yes, I have to go back somewhat farther. First of all I must say that this group was composed of citizens from various countries, that is, Hungarians, Czechs, and afterwards Polish citizens, who because of their attitude of opposition, had emigrated or gone to Germany. I cannot say who gave the order for the collaboration, because at the time when these things happened it was some time back, I remember quite clearly it was in 1938 or even earlier I was not even working in the Amt Ausland Abwehr and was not in touch with the Department, which I did not take over until the beginning of 1939. It was already on a firm footing when I took it over. In this connection I must add, since it was also touched upon yesterday, that these Ukrainians, at least the majority of them, had no ties whatsoever with Germany. I can say definitely that a large proportion of these people with whom the Amt Ausland Abwehr had contact at that time were in German concentration camps, and that some of these people were fighting for their country in Soviet partisan groups. That is a fact. DR. NELTE: Did Admiral Canaris not tell you that the Chief of the OKW, Keitel, when informed by the SS of the demand for Polish uniforms and military equipment, had given the clear order that the Abteilung Abwehr should have nothing to do with this game? LAHOUSEN: As I stated yesterday, this matter was handled very mysteriously and secretly also in our circle. Not only myself, but the others also, knew absolutely nothing about the game which was being played until after it actually happened. The War Diary of the Department makes this very clear. It records that one day, quite suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, a demand was received, by order of Canaris, for so and so many uniforms for an undertaking known as "Himmler". My amazement and my enquiry as to how Himmler came to have anything to do with an undertaking which required Polish uniforms is also recorded in the War Diary, not by me, but by the officer who kept this diary. In reply I was merely told that these articles of equipment would be picked up by a certain person on a certain day, and no further explanation was given. And there the matter ended. Of course, when the name of Himmler was mentioned, besides being mysterious, the thing immediately began to appear suspicious to us. By us, I mean everybody who had to do with it in the course of his duty, right down to the ordinary sergeant, who,

Salesianum's Brian O'Neill dunks the ball over St. Elizabeth's Brandon Gautier in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game.
It would have been the Cinderella story of Cinderella stories.
St. Elizabeth, the 24th and last seed in the DIAA Boys Basketball State Tournament, played with poise and confidence against top-seeded Salesianum on Sunday night. But the Sals did just enough in the fourth quarter to shatter the glass slipper and pull away for a 58-49 victory at the Bob Carpenter Center.
The Vikings (10-13) rode hot shooting through an overtime win over ninth-seeded Delaware Military Academy in the first round and a 73-48 pasting of No. 8 Caesar Rodney in the second round. But after hitting 12 of 16 3-pointers ...

Solar photovoltaic generation of electricity has a big problem: with currently-available technology, it's not terribly efficient. I mean that literally; the "solar constant" is ~1.35 kilowatts of power per square meter, but most off-the-shelf solar panels can only convert about 20-30% of that to electricity. Improvement is clearly possible, and some researchers have figured out ways to boost that efficiency to 50% or more (although some promising developments in flexible, polymer-based photovoltaics are far worse, with only 5-15% efficiency). One of the more interesting approaches involves using selenium "nanocrystals" to boost efficiency to up to 60%. Now researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory have pushed that concept to a new potential efficiency peak.
By using lead sulfide as the nanocrystal -- or "quantum dot" -- material, the NREL team claims a potential efficiency of more than 65%. We've noted various worldchanging applications of quantum dots before (for infrared-sensitive polymer photovoltaics with ~30% efficiency, and for high-efficiency reversible thermoelectric materials), and it's clear that nanomaterial and nanofabrication research will be critical for making solar photovoltaic sufficiently efficient for widespread adoption.
As usual, the actual article is behind a subscription wall (and the journal is probably too obscure for most non-university libraries), but Alan at @Monkeysign has an excellent dissection of how the technology works, and what challenges remain before it could conceivably make its way to real-world use. I highly recommend checking out his write-up.
While billions are spent on sports, space exploration, health problems from environmental pollution from fossil fuels, oil spill cleanups and military actions over oil where is the attention to the answer that would help not only our counry but the entire world. Renewable Energy in the future would provide low cost abundant electric to change the world! Sites that generate electric from renewable sources could create millions of jobs and a secure career with income for retirement and a family legacy.
What is needed is a fabric which is tough, UV insensitive, and cheap which produces electricity. Such a fabric need not be very efficient at all, just incredibly cheap to make and use. A parasol which functions as a flashlight is long overdue.
There was some interesting work being done with light pipes a few years ago....where light from roof pickups was piped into offices below. The light was superior to florescent lighting, changed a little from time to time as clouds would go over, which helped peoples diurnal rythms. Although the initial cost was double that of conventional lighting installation, the electric bill was much reduced. Because there were no moving parts, it paid for itself within a few months. Wonder why it never caught on?
I installed such a unit in my garage...seems to work fine.....
Its interesting to see that the discussion still focusses on efficiency, as measured in kilowatts per square meter, when what is really important is kilowatts per dollar.
In other words, I don't really care if the solar panel is 10% less efficient, as long as its half the price. I'll just cover twice the roof area and still be better off.
I think the solar industry got seriously sidetracked for many years by the search for higher efficiency, rather than cost-savings. Probably (and I'm guessing here) being driven by military and space applications where efficiency is a problem.
So ... lets start hearing about these improvements based on their cost-effectiveness.

Magnetek profit falls as sales to renewable, coal sectors shrink
Magnetek Inc. on Wednesday said its net income fell in the third quarter as sales for the wind energy sector and the mining industry fell.
Overall sales fell 8% to $26.9 million in the third quarter, as declines in renewable energy and mining offset a 9% gain in the company's largest market, material handling.
Net income fell to $1.5 million, or 46 cents a share, from $1.7 million, or 54 cents, a year ago. Operating earnings per share were 51 cents a share, down 10 cents.
The Menomonee Falls company said it was moving to address the weaker areas by reallocating resources from the renewable energy business, given that the market there remains "extremely challenging."
Magnetek is also moving to diversify its mining equipment business to be less reliant on coal. The company said the slowdown in the coal mining sector would reduce sales in that business "for at least the next couple of quarters."
The wind manufacturing sector has slowed because of the pending expiration of wind energy tax credits at the end of the year. Coal mining, meanwhile, has been affected by less demand as utilities across the country shift more of their power generation to natural gas to take advantage of expanded U.S. natural gas supplies and low prices.
In material handling, the company is focused on continuing to expand its sales of radio control products, for which it announced a distribution agreement in China this week.
"We believe we can continue to grow our material handling sales by 10% next year even in a slow growth economy by entering new markets and continuing to expand strategic partnerships," said Peter McCormick, president and chief executive, in a statement.

Special Nature Reserve "Jelašnička Gorge"
Jelašnička Gorge, about 10 km away from Niš, is situated on the territory of villages Jelašnica and Čukljenik. It originated through intensive vertical carring of the Jelašnica River into calcareous rocks. The highest point is 580 AMSL ("Radov Kamen") and the lowest is 293 m.
The gorge is narrow with steep sides. Its parts are arranged in a sequence of grades and are disintegrated into rocky bluffs, single teeth, contexture and columns by water erosion. Rich morphological ornaments, which give the gorge a very attractive appearance, are fulfilled by specific forms of karst erosion: windows, cliffs, carities and caverns in the rocks. Windows Kupina and St. Ilija are distinct by their size, beauty and the bizzareness of their position.
The region of Jelašnička Gorge, as a habitat of relic and endemic species, is especially important in the life study of the Balkan Peninsula. The symbol of this gorge are two tertiary Balkan species: the Serbian phoenix flower (Ramonda serbica) and Natalie's ramonda (Ramonda Nathaliae). Besides Sićevačka Gorge, Jelašnička Gorge is the only locality in the Balkans where a contact zone is established between these two endemo-relic species. The started natural values of the Jelašnička Gorge region are the reason that part of it (on an area of 115.73 ha) was put under protection as the Special Nature Reserve "Jelašnička Gorge" in 1995 in order to preserve: the habitat and natural rareness of the two abovementioned endemo-relic species; 39 Moesic, 20 Balkan and 6 Illyric endemisms and sub-endemisms and the specific natural value of Jelašnička River Gorge with rich and diverse morphological ornaments.
The Special Nature Reserve "Jelašnička Gorge" is managed by SE "Srbijašume", FE "Niš".

It's not often I get a birthday full of snow. This year, my 29th, snow was everywhere. My daughter (5yrs) insisted on having a birthday cake for me. When a five year old plans a birthday party candles are a must. I think when you hit the age where you have to buy more than one package of candles they should no longer be required. My daughter disagreed. We went to my parent's house(Grandma and Papa) to celebrate then went out to play in the snow. She wanted to make tons of Snow Angels. They were everywhere!! Her face lit up with every angel she made. She loves God very much so this picture of her praying with her angel is one I'll cherish for life.

3 killed in fiery shootout on Vegas Strip
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 02/21/2013 @ 11:13 pm In U.S.,WND TV | No Comments
(Oakland Tribune) A man shot to death while driving his Maserati on the Las Vegas Strip early Thursday morning was a rapper who previously lived in Oakland, according to media reports.
Ken Cherry, 27, who rapped under the name Kenny Clutch, was shot by someone in a black Range Rover about 4:20 a.m. After he was shot, Cherry rapidly accelerated his gray Maserati down Las Vegas Boulevard and through a red light before striking a cab at the intersection of Flamingo Road.
The cab burst into flames, and the cab driver and a passenger were both killed. Six others were injured, police said. Police did not release the names of the dead or injured, citing the ongoing investigation.
Police said bullets came from the black Range Rover as it raced with the Maserati toward a red light on the Vegas Strip.

Pipelines 2009: Infrastructure's Hidden Assets
The San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority) has over 400 kilometers (km) of large diameter pipelines that provide up to 95 percent of the water to San Diego County's 3 million people. In this 400 km is 133 km of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) manufactured between 1958 and 1982 ranging in diameters of 168 cm to 244 cm. In order to provide a safe and reliable supply of water to San Diego County, the Water Authority implemented the Aqueduct Protection Program (APP) in 1992 which includes the condition assessment of the Water Authority's PCCP. Part of the program consists of developing and researching new non-invasive/non-destructive inspection procedures to determine the condition of existing PCCP. Between March 2006 and February 2009, the Water Authority has installed 79 km of acoustic fiber optic (AFO) cable to monitor wire break activity and to provide critical information on the remaining service life of the pipeline. This paper will focus on how the Water Authority is incorporating real time monitoring into their APP, the accuracy of the wire break results based on excavations, and how this technology is changing the remaining service life of the pipeline.
