I'll take "save" for my word.

I made a bet with a few co-workers on when Newt would first mention Reagan. One guy said 2 minutes. Another said 3 minutes. I said 3 seconds.

It was 2 seconds.

I timed it.

Starting off with Newt again. Sure, they want Romney...

 

[Toro]

Newt is now making it sound like he left the Speakership because he wanted to do other things.

lol

I'm drinking for every "fundamental" and every "frankly".

I'm chugging with every "teleprompter"

First question to Newt...

First 5 seconds of Newt's answer he says Reagan...

 

[AVG-JOE]

I don't get to watch. I don't care enough about t.v. to have a channel that's carrying it. AND I ******* LIVE IN FLORIDA!

Someone post something every time one of 'em says "save" so I know when to drink.

Less than five.

He'd never quote his favorite modern President FDR.

Mitt goes after Newt right off the bet.

Gingrich on Romney: "he just said four things that are false."

I must have missed them.

[Toro]

Mitt really isn't a good attack dog.

I think Newt was talking about himself.

As the proprietor.......I get to sleep in whnenever I wish........but I won't.

WTF is this, the Newt and Mitt show? Yeah., they both have to dance their way around the fact that they are both Progressive liberals...

I don't like Santorum but he is far more conservative than Newt or Mitt.

Yep.

 

[ladyliberal]

Gingrich said that they "won" the House in 1998, when they lost seats in Clinton's second midterm. Interesting way of characterizing it.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Santorum........whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
