Blitzer's blog: CNN may push Newt to say he wouldn't vote for Ron at the debate

[bluesc]

If they do, and he says it, we need a crowd there to boo him. He likes to act like the team player :rolleyes:.


Newt Gingrich told me in Iowa that he doesn’t think he could vote for Ron Paul if the Texas congressman were to win the GOP nomination. He cites Paul’s national security policies. Will Gingrich be prepared to go that far in the debate?

Aside from that, they are going to encourage the candidates to attack each other. It will be ugly.

So much for MR Positive Newty :rolleyes:

[joshnorris14]

Dis gon be gud

[shrugged0106]

do we have a crowd that will be at it?

[mavtek]

Ron can just say "that's ok Newt, the feeling is mutual."

[Edward]

Please, please, please, I hope Newt goes there! Ron need only to bring up this week's CNN poll that shows him to be the one who is electable.

[sailingaway]

that makes CNN as much of a bad guy as Newt in my book they are trying to split us off.

[matt0611]

I'm fairly sure the crown would boo if he said no. Anyway, it will open a discussion about Ron Paul's foreign policy. Ron, I just hope you're ready to talk about that tonight...

but will he?

I agree he should mention however many polls it was since Iowa (three?) that polled head to head and he is always ahead of Gingrich polling head to head against Obama. Tied, in fact, with Obama, statistically.

[jtbraine]

Im,mm,m,

[69360]

What is the big deal here? We already know Ron wouldn't vote for Newt. Seems like a non-story.

[specsaregood]

Which will play perfectly to Newt's typical M.O. of calling out the media and moderators rather than answering the questions. watch for it.

[AngryCanadian]

Ron Paul should call Newt out that he was draft Dodger i mean honestly dont the voters in SC know that? they would be voting for a draft Dodger?

[Tyler_Durden]

Dr. Pauls reaction to Tonight's crowd.....

Ron can just say "that's ok Newt, the feeling is mutual."

added: the main difference is, you can't win the general without my supporters. Might as well throw in the towel right here Newt.

RP: Coming from a candidate who's not well liked enough to get on the ballot in his own home state, I don't mind his lack of support...

[puppetmaster]

they are going to ask him everything that he has trouble explaining clearly in 1 min......

Newt can't win with us either. Vast majority of people know him to be a dirt bag.

Newt: "I will not lower myself to the negativity and smear tactics of the liberal left and I'm proud of the positive campaign that we've run, but let me just say right here that a Ron Paul presidency threatens the very fundamental fabric of human existence."

[jkob]

I like the idea of mentioning Ron's support accounts for 20% of the GOP and that you can't win the general election without us. Should hurt Newt's "electability" claim.

[schiffheadbaby]

Never would vote for Newt "individual mandate/chickenhawk/big government" Gingrich either, I hope no RP supporter would

[tfurrh]

Newt: "I will not lower myself to the negativity and smear tactics of the liberal left and I'm quite candidly proud of the positive campaign that we've run, but let me just say right here that a Ron Paul presidency radically threatens the very fundamental fabric of human existence."

[ItsTime]

Newt will be too busy trying to fight off Santorum nailing him with the open marriage thing.

[thehungarian]

fixed ↑

Nailed it.

[Benjam]

I have a good feeling about tonight's debate. I think this is where Santorum falls. Ron will bring it home.

[amberjack]

He'll side step the question as he did with Wolf a few weeks ago:

He'll say something like: "Ron Paul is a candidate with a great issue, auditing the federal reserve. But the fact is he will not be the nominee of the Republican Party"

Remind me again Newt, how far behind me did you place in Iowa and New Hampshire? Oh yeah, also how many states ballots did you manage to make?

[Paulitics 2011]

Perry was asked if he would repeat a statement about someone on stage at one of the early debates and he chickened out.

Paul was asked to repeat the chickenhawk remark and said it to Newt's face.

I wonder if Newt will chicken out. That would be good.

[Mini-Me]

Newt: "I will not lower myself to the negativity and smear tactics of the liberal left and I'm proud of the positive campaign that we've run, but let me just say right here that a Ron Paul presidency threatens the very fundamental fabric of human existence."

LOL! Not sure if serious...:p

Enough with the drama. I'm sick of it.

It's one thing to bring up issues, or records. People need to know those things.

But inciting personal attacks, or drama for the sake of drama, is getting sickening.

[James Madison]

Just realized this. Ron's now the only vet on stage.

[NoPants]

sure

[Edward]

Ron has alluded to it by referencing when he was drafted, but sometimes I wish he would come out and say it.

Perry was also in the air force.

[1stAmendguy]

Wolf just pushed Cain to say he wouldn't support RP for president.

Perry was also in the air force.
Perry go bye bye

[Simple]

I was looking at the Southern Leadership Conference earlier for clues about Cain and they appear to be sending bus loads of people to the debate tonight.
