Page 118 - Gingrich News Today

Newt, and his chances of ringing the g.o.p. forward? >>guest: he is playing the part of the antimitt but, it is funny, because he is actually a lot of romney fans, he is their second choice, so, you also had him competing against someone like ron paul in iowa and new hampshire, who, a lot of people thing are still not serious enough. and you have folks like rick perry who, you know, he has, he started at the last minute, and he has been trying to scramble so he also has not been able to make it ...

Experience in washington, it will be a tough race if gingrich is the guy to come in. >> we are certainly not there yet with iowa coming up, coming up as soon as it is with ron paul leading the polls in iowa. what is the likelihood? a lot of people seem to think that ron paul is a shoo-in for iowa, what do you think? >>guest: well, ron paul does resonate a lot with a lot of pro live social conservatives in addition to small government types, iowa is pretty representative of a large group of peopl...

Know, i remember being out in iowa when howard dean, on the sunday morning of "meet the press," looked like he was going to win iowa and john kerry had a head of steam going and blew him out. and then went on to new hampshire and howard dean was over at that point. i watched iowa turn out pat roberts at one point. george bush 41 beat ronald reagan in a state where ronald reagan had begun his broadcasting career. so there can be surprises. were playing by different rules. we were talking to one o...

And the cover of "time" magazine, november 16th, 1998, the fall of newt, and on "newsweeks" cover that week, "the loser." and tom friedman, on the day of the iowa caucuses, it will be 13 years to the day since it was speaker gingrichs last day in that job. what a comeback. hes going to be somebody to watch. >> well, you know, id say a couple things about it. one, theres a journalism lesson here which is never be smarter than the story. when the story is speaking to you, shut up and listen. and i...

Create a constitutional crisis right out of the gate by hauling judges in before congress with whom he disagrees. i mean thats a pretty -- >> the other piece of it, and again, this is anti-establishment piece but i dont know how its going to play but you have tom coburn and no one could question his credentials or peter cain from new york and others who serve from the house saying no way, we dont want this guy as our president. does that help him? it may, in fact, because, again, these are estab...

Had, if you will, a small stimulus or a small economic growth proposal called the american jobs act, thats basically been filibustered in the senate with one or two provisions that have, indeed, been passed. and i think what the election will really be about is whether people would be better off if, in fact, you return to bush era economic policies. i think economic issues are going to be on the table, and i think people will have a choice, because whether its mitt romney, or its newt gingrich, ...

His foreign policy has hurt him but ron paul is very definitely a factor. newt gingrich does not have the kind of organization that can compete in iowa. in fact, gingrich and virtually every other candidate with the exception of ron paul and mitt romney failed over the last few days to make it onto the virginia ballot to compete in its primary later in the year that will come on super tuesday in march. so only ron paul and mitt romney appear to have the types of organizations that can compete na...

Emerged as this front-runner as a result of the debates that people have watched and seen how he kind of manages the team, and i think theres a real desire to see him debate, as somebody said. they want to see him debate president obama. lets back up and be realistic about newt gingrich. once people start looking at him carefully and see his relationship with freddie mac and the money hes took, which he downplayed, which is typically not straightforward if we can say that. but also, hes got, we ...
