This may be the best news the Obama administration gets all weekend (although the record Black Friday sales might be stiff competition).

This is just more evidence that the Republican primary season is a sitcom that is writing itself.

Go NEWT Go!

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has received the coveted endorsement of the highly-influential Manchester Union Leader in New Hampshire, a boost for the 2012 Republican presidential candidate and a blow to rival Mitt Romney.

The endorsement of the conservative newspaper's editorial board places an exclamation point on Gingrich's impressive surge from has-been GOP contender to frontrunner, and sets him apart as the new anti-Romney candidate among his competitors.

"Newt Gingrich is by no means the perfect candidate. But Republican primary voters too often make the mistake of preferring an unattainable ideal to the best candidate who is actually running. In this incredibly important election, that candidate is Newt Gingrich," the editorial board wrote in Sunday's edition.

The Leader added in a banner headline across the front page that the former Georgia lawmaker has something the rest of the candidates don't -- a track record of success in Washington.

"America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next year. We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing," the endorsement reads.

"He did so with the Contract with America. He did it in bringing in the first Republican House in 40 years and by forging balanced budgets and even a surplus despite the political challenge of dealing with a Democratic president. A lot of candidates say they're going to improve Washington. Newt Gingrich has actually done that," it continues......

Interesting stuff.

The last three polls in NH have Romney ahead by +17, +27 & +27.

Maybe Newt will close the gap.

If Romney loses NH, it'd be like the 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers collapse.

If he loses NH, I expect him to drop out the next day.

and honestly, that's really all he has to do, is close the gap or make it a race.

Romney has a house in New Hampshire. He comes from a neighboring states. But everyone keeps talking like if he wins that, it's going to be all over, no one else should bother, don't even ask about those other 48 states that haven't voted yet.

Seriously, we need to stop applying "Special Olympic" rules to Romney and treat him like a normal candidate.

Newt is not running for President. I keep telling you all that, but you don't listen. He cannot win a General Election. Therefore, he will not get the nomination. He is now angling for VP. Which is a perfect job for him. Go around bloviating on every subject, while having absolutely no power.

And if he doesn't get the VP nomination, he will go back to Plan A: raise his visibility, refurbish his image, sell books and videos, and raise his speaking fees.

Mission: Accomplished

Guy, anyone can beat Obama under the right circumnstances.

Elections with an incumbant are inevitably about the incumbant. If people don't approve of the job he is doing, he doesn't get re-elected. Period.

Carter, Ford, Bush-41, all had approval ratings of where Obama is right now. No one has ever gotten re-elected with an approval rating this low.

The success of Black Friday is probably due more to OWS. The backlash was a tea party BUYcott of Black Friday.

Sort of like when the illegals had a May 1 boycott of Los Angeles. The stores and malls had special one day sales calling it Shop Till You Drop Day.

It was a big success, except for all the hispanic businesses that were closed.
