Cain endorsed Gingrich

Herman Cain has endorsed Gingrich.  Not Romney.

Gingrich and the moon colony

If he becomes president Newt Gingrich wants to establish a moon colony. Lunacy. But he is capable of  proposing something like this. I remember in the 1990s he proposed giving a laptop to every homeless person in the U.S. as a way to lift them out of poverty. Another case of lunacy. They'd be pawned immediately.

The Repub establishment is at work

The Republican establishment is trying to shove Gingrich aside in favor of Romney. That may be a critical mistake. They'd like to ignore the Tea Party as well.

Nancy on again, on again, and off

Does Nancy Pelosi know something that will prevent Newt Gingrich from being president? Yes, she does. Yes, again. No. she doesn't.

Gingrich's moment in South Carolina

I heard some talk about New Gingrich's victory in the South Carolina primary. Some commentators ascribe the victory to Gingrich's "moment." I think this is it:

Gingrich has staged an extraordinary comeback.  I've been thinking it was all over, and Mitt had it sewn up, but apparently not. 

Rush Limbaugh on the Marrianne Gingrich interview

Rush Limbaugh on the Marianne Gingrich interview. This is the one in which she says that Newt Gingrich ask her for an open marriage. But Newt had the courtesy to ask for permission. He says Bill and Hillary had an open marriage too, but you can't imaging Bill asking for permission. 

Textbook lesson in today's media

William A. Jacobson of Legal insurrection has a good analysis of ABC News' recent coverage of Marianne Gingrich, Newt's ex-wife.

Pro Newt

An argument in favor of Newt. 

Gingrich on the Palestinian Authority

PJMedia: Newt Gingrich said it's "delusional to call it a peace process," with the Palestinian Authority representing "an enormous desire to destroy Israel." Well, OK.

Get a hamburger flipping job

Ann Althouse has an extraordinary post on a Newt Gingrich speech. ... "You go out and talk to people, as I do, you go out and talk to people who are really successful in one generation.... They all learned how to make money at a very early age... What do we say to poor kids in poor neighborhoods? Don't do it. Remember all that stuff about don't get a hamburger flipping job? The worst possible advice you could give to poor children. Get any job that teaches you to show up on Monday. Get any job that teaches you to stay all day even if you are in a fight with your girlfriend. The whole process of making work worthwhile is central."

Absolutely correct. Some advice that you hear assumes that people are going to start out as CEOs. The way to get there is to work your way up. Failing schools are just holding kids back.

Here's more from Gingrich.

Gingrich and Romney are in a virtual tie in New Hampshire, according to a new WSJ poll.

Who's the amateur?

Newt Gingrich's response to a reporter:

….AP’s Tom Beaumont: “Does this remind you that your background comes from being a Washington insider?”
Gingrich: “It reminds people that I know a great deal about Washington and if you want to change Washington, we just tried four years of amateur ignorance and it didn’t work very well, so having somebody who knows Washington might be a really good thing.”
