Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann (as well as many Mitt supporters in the media) have been distorting Newt Gingrich's position on immigration as one favoring "amnesty." Via The Shark Tank, here is a video where Newt explains his immigration policy.  I believe it's a fully acceptable...

Newt Gingrich has picked up the endorsement of New Hamsphire's largest newspaper, the conservative Manchester Union Leader. This newspaper endorses Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary. America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next...

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: As you know, I support Newt Gingrich. But you also know that I have a policy of uniting behind any Republican candidate who comes under false attack from Democrats and Obama...

Newt Gingrich's statement on immigration at the national security debate is being called an unforced error by some in the conservative media.  Immigration was not the topic of the night, so why make it the highlight of the night? I don't know whether Newt's position, that...

Last night Newt Gingrich addressed the issue of whether to deport people who are in the country illegally but have deep roots in the community over long periods of time.  The issue of deportation is quite distinct from a so-called "pathway to citizenship." The Romney campaign...

Wolf Blitzer started the night by confirming that Wolf really was his first name. In the introductory statements, Mitt Romney confirmed that Mitt was his first name. Except that it's not, it's Willard. Which leads to the Tweet of the Night from @AshleyRParker:  ...

Dr. Melissa Clouthier writing about An Indictment Of Right Leaning Journalism By Ben Domenech: Here’s the nutshell: The Left-leaning journalism investigates the right. The Right-leaning journalism provides commentary and (and Ben doesn’t say this, but I am) when they do rarely investigate, investigates the right after being...

The same way Ted Kennedy and John McCain did. And it's already showing results for Obama.  Mitt Romney's negatives are rising because of some initial attacks by the Obama campaign apparatus on Romney's "core" and his Wall Street connections: The Purple Poll, a survey of 12 swing...

I had not heard this story before, but then again, I didn't pay much attention to the Republican primaries in 2008: In 2008 it was uncovered long after the primaries had been concluded that the Romney campaign staff had in unethical and covert ways infiltrated prominent conservative...

As reported by The NY Times, Romney Shifts in Iowa, Playing to Win Quickly: Mr. Romney, who has been cautiously calibrating expectations about his chances in a state full of social conservatives, is now playing to win the Iowa caucuses. Television commercials are on the way,...

Thank you Jennifer, Michael, Gene, Quin, Ann, and others, for telling us that Newt Gingrich is unacceptable as a nominee because he took some positions in the past that were not conservative. I don't know where we'd end up without you. At least we have one candidate whose...

Newt Gingrich appeared on the Mark Levin Show last night to address a variety of issues.  Levin has been pretty harsh towards Newt at times in the past. Thanks to The Right Scoop for the audio: I find it very interesting that while Gingrich is more than willing...

Ann Coulter is going after Newt Gingrich now because Newt has not been sufficiently consistent over the years, and because Romney is inevitable and will beat Obama: The mainstream media keep pushing alternatives to Mitt Romney not only because they are terrified of running against him,...

I was on the road and in meetings all day, with only passing opportunities to log on.  But I see a trend emerging. Bloggers and websites which support Romney, explicitly in some cases, impilicitly in others, are making lists of reasons why Newt Gingrich is not conservative enough, finding...

You can't take a single poll on it's own, but this CNN poll (data here) released at noon today does comport with the trend of Newt rising as Romney's main challenger, and Cain feeling the effects of the negative publicity. Update: Ed Morrissey, linking also to a PPP poll...

The narrative is being set.  Mitt Romney will be the nominee because all other candidate are faltering, and cannot hold up. Who is setting this narrative?  In addition to the usual suspects, add Politico, as in this post by Alexander Burns: Conservatives don’t like him. They really...
