Here’s a few good political reads I ran across this afternoon that you just might like to click out…
- USAToday.com had this interesting read and it starts off like this…
Why didn't Newt Gingrich praise Mitt Romney for his squeaker win in Iowa, when he spoke warmly of Rick Santorum, who came within a handful of votes of the top spot?… "Other than the fact that Governor Romney ran a relentlessly negative campaign of falsehoods, which earned one of his ads four Pinocchios from the Washington Post?" Gingrich said at a news conference Wednesday. "The fact is, three out of four Republicans rejected him.

I was saddened that my man, Newt… got such a beating over these last few weeks. But… sadly, that is the game we are in.

I hope he does REAL well in South Carolina and Florida in the weeks ahead. So far -- So good! He’s up in the polls in both as of today. Unfortunately… politics is very fluid, especially this election year. Soooo…. We shall see just how it all pans out. Fingers Crossed!

Romney claimed to have," Santorum declared… Romney called the Iowa results a "virtual tie." Santorum called it a sign any calls for him to leave were premature…
