I read the analysis below, and then I look at the hyperbolic rhetoric about how Mitt Romney is the most electable and Newt must be destroyed, and I just shake my head in disbelief. Via James Pethokoukis: It’s one thing when Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum say...

Politico's homepage top headline is The right drops a bomb on Newt featuring photos of Ann Coulter, Tom DeLay, Elliot Abrams and Matt Drudge. Just like in December, the rise of Newt has caused panic in Republican circles. In December the charge was led by National Review, and now...

There is something truly obscene about the full blown assault on Newt Gingrich's strong Reagan conservative history from and on behalf of Mitt Romney, who unabashedly ran away from the Reagan legacy and conservative principles in his 1994 Senate campaign and 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Truly...

Rick Santorum has said he will be in the race for the long haul, and I have no reason to doubt his sincerity. But what message does it send his supporters in Florida that he's not even hanging around for election night? Failing to show early signs...

Come on Cheeseheads.  So what if your team isn't going to the Super Bowl, we need someone to get us out of the funk.  Or at least me. I've long predicted that a Scott Walker win in the recall will be the perfect launch to the...

There's something of a scuffle going on in Florida right now over the 2010 election of Marco Rubio and the hiring of Charlie Crist's Florida staff by the Romney campaign.  Newt implicitly is tying Romney to Crist. Rubio, who has not endorsed anyone, in response, says that...

Mitt Romney's key debate line of late is that Newt resigned in disgrace over ethics charges. It's even featured in the most recent Romney advertisement (not his SuperPAC) running in Florida. I posted links the other day showing that the charges against Newt were political and that...

There's something Nancy Pelosi knows that no one else who was involved in the congressional investigation of Newt in the 1990s knows?  (BTW, this Byron York column on how politicized and wrong the ethics charges against Newt were is a must read.) Not even any of the anti-Newt Republicans...

Coming to gripes: A frank discussion of Mitt's Bain problem, in other words, something which is almost impossible now in conservative circles without being called "anti-capitalist" (h/t OCBill). Where are the hard drives?  Newt's campaign should be pushing this harder. National Review editors still don't like Newt. Washington Post columnists...

Did you hear what Andrea Mitchell said last night after the debate?  I did, and so did David Limbaugh. If true, abject panic is just below the surface: (video added, via Greg Hengler) We may be at Kübler-Ross Stage 4 over the prospect of a Romney nomination, but they...

Newt was very subdued on stage last night. I noted at the time that it probably was a strategy of not taking Romney's bait, but he needs to be more aggressive in defending when Romney attacks. The video below is being hyped by both the NY Times...
