Frank Luntz did a focus group on Hannity last night regarding the Las Vegas debate.  The group confirmed my view that Newt is rising. I can't find a video of it, but NewsMax has a partial transcript.  The group found that Newt won the debate hands down,...

Not going to "live blog" but will have some observations. END GAME: Perry the winner not because he was so much better than the others, but because he was so much better than he was previously.  He may have revitalized his campaign tonight.  Cain was damaged, but...

Yawn.  Chuck "my flight attendant is a bitch and Scott Brown is an far-right teabagger" Schumer is threatening to use Newt's criticism of Paul Ryan in the 2012 election cycle.That should make a big difference.  Just like this statement by a prominent Republican candidate ruined...
