Welcome Newt supporters!

Welcome former Newt supporters!

There are so many things Ron Paul has in common with Newt Gingrich that you will find it easy to switch over the Dr. Paul.


Ron Paul and Newt were both Congressmen...

Hmm, that is about it.

Welcome!

[Drex]

Welcome all!

[cindy25]

why now? did Newt quit?

[alucard13mmfmj]

Don't we need Newt to stay in the race to make sure its more likely to be brokered convention? ^^

Dr. Paul has talked about the gold standard and the Fed for decades. Newt has talked about it for months.

confused, did Newt drop out?

[Oddone]

We only make these threads when people drop out. :p

[JoshS]

Newt's won a state. You'd be delusional to think ANY of his supporters would be coming here.

[The Goat]

I though I missed something.

[RonPaulwillWin]

Glad he dropped out

[Oddone]

Glad he dropped out

He didn't drop out.

[Cabal]

Newt isn't dropping out. He wasn't even campaigning in Maine. Moreover, the lion's share of his support wouldn't come to RP anyway.

[RonPaulwillWin]

He didn't drop out.

was a j/k

[moonshine5757]

if this is a joke, it's not funny.

Well...there is a lot of cross-over between Newt and Gingrich supporters. I think we would be lucky to get a 1% bump from Newt dropping out while Santorum would get a huge bump.

Newt maybe shooting for a brokered convention. He also may know that there are a lot of southern contests coming up in March (almost all of them) and the GOP rules have awarded extra delegates to most of the Southern states because they've done a good job of electing republicans (stupid I know). So Newt could be making a magical comeback in March here...and he knows it. I don't see him dropping out until April...if even then.

What's interesting is that Santorum is targeting Georgia. He may be going for the jugular as it would look very bad for Newt if he didn't get Georgia on Super Tuesday and that might be the one thing that would force him out.

I read somewhere that his billionaire backer after NV and the Tuesday following was not as eager to back him, but it was a throwaway line in a story about something else.

OK, but honestly I did read he was. But I didn't look into it. It might have just been speculation. I do understand he is leading in the polls in Georgia.

I doubt he's going to drop out... why would he?

Ron Paul didn't drop out when he got 7% in Florida.

On the other hand, he does seem the candidate most likely to drop out, at this stage.

Just not yet.

[Student Of Paulism]

Newt is in it til the end. Has tons of support down south, and him and Rick will battle it out down there for all the social/religious votes. GA is also where Newt Repped for years, so it's obvious thats his territory. Ron will only do well and have a chance in the North West to some Mid West states.

[JWRIDDLER]

Newt hasn't dropped out yet but his Super PAC is going to be running out of money very soon with his lone billionaire buddy pulling out support for him...

[Liberty74]

I thought I saw a link on Drudge the last 24 hours about the billionaire pulling back on Newt but I cannot find the link via the search.

If I was a supporter of one of the other candidates, I certainly wouldn't feel very welcomed by this forum.

[PierzStyx]

I am a supporter of Paul and I don't even feel very welcomed by this forum. C'est la vie

Eh. That's why its about the Man and the Message, not random weirdos trolling on the internets. :)

Newt Gingrich: 349
6.2%

If you're keeping score at home:

Iowa: Ron Paul 21, Newt Gingrich 13
New Hampshire: Ron Paul 23, Newt Gingrich 9
Minnesota: Ron Paul 27, Newt Gingrich 11
Missouri: Ron Paul 12, Newt Gingrich 0
Maine: Ron Paul 36, Newt Gingrich 6

Ron Paul has defeated Gingrich in 5 of the first 9 states, and none of them were even close. In Nevada, Newt won by 2 percentage points. In Colorado, it was one percentage point. Only SC and FL were decisive Newt victories.

How about reminding the media of that in the next debate?
