A lot of polls today showing Newt weakening substantially, and he's finally doing a major media buy in Iowa starting with this ad, and launching a 44-stop bus tour.  I don't think it's too late, but it is late. Would Michele Bachmann be in second place...

How ironic would it be if a month-long onslaught by conservative media and attack ads run against Newt non-stop by a Mitt Romney supporting SuperPAC resulted in Ron Paul winning the Iowa caucuses?  Paul also is running attack ads, but without the rest of the...

Interesting stuff: Good neutral article about the 10 factors which could sink Newt in Iowa.  One of them was "Fox News Talkers."  I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed.  Coulter was on Hannity, O'Reilly, and apparently Red Eye singing the same Newt's crazy tune. ...
