*******************************

.

Well… The people have again spoken tonight and sadly, my man NEWT isn’t the ONE!

.

Newt just had to have a good showing tonight to keep him in this run for the White House. Sadly… a good showing we didn’t have. In either Alabama or Mississippi!

.

Come to think of it… Last week’s “Super Tuesday” pretty much set the way for tonight’s bad showing by Newt! I mean… he should have picked up several WINs last week, but sadly Newt only came away with ONE. That right there should have told us all we needed to know about any kind of a NEWT future in this Presidential Race. Bottom Line… Newt’s future in this RACE!!!? Not so much…

.

Soooo…

Sorry, NEWT… TIME!

.

Yes… I’m afraid it is time for you to MAN UP and fold from this 2012 Presidential Race. By doing so now… You can leave like the others who have gone before you… with head held high… with honor and grace.

.

For your part in this election cycle, Mr. Gingrich, I do so TRULY thank you… It really has been a FUN ride with all KINDS of ups and downs… smiles and frowns.

.

With that said… As of tonight, I am going to have to drop ALL of my support for Newt. Breaks my heart to do so too...

.

As of tonight, right now…

I announce my FULL SUPPORT for Mitt Romney!!!

The NEXT President of the United States!

Alabama Republican Party to host Presidential Forum Monday, March 12th - Gingrich/Santorum have confirmed their attendance - Romney/Paul invited… Have yet to commit

    The Alabama Republican Party will host a Presidential Forum this Monday, March 12th at the Alabama Theater in Birmingham and it will start at 5:30pm sharp. (I’m happy to report that C-SPAN WILL be airing this event live at 5:30pm CDT.)

    Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have confirmed their attendance and even though Romney and Paul have also been invited… neither has yet to commit.

.

    There will be between 2,000 - 2,500 seats available at no charge and on a first come first serve basis… Doors will open at 3:30pm..
.

    Monday’s Forum will not be a debate. It will be more along the lines of what Mike Huckabee had on the Fox News Channel just the other weekend.

.

    If I’m correct… each candidate will have around 20 minutes to talk to the people in hopes of swaying their votes. Then following their closing arguments… there will be a short question-and-answer segment with a small group of panelist. Should be a good one to watch!

.

    With that said… Tuesday, March 13^th is going to be a BIG DAY for ALL the Candidates… Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum especially!

.

    Yes… On Tuesday, March 13^th… we have the Alabama/Mississippi Primaries and the Hawaii Caucuses. Alabama and Mississippi will have a total of 90 Delegates up for grabs… Or… Alabama will weigh in with 50 Delegates and Mississippi will be weighing in with 40. Hawaii will have 20 Delegates up for grabs too. MUCH more to come on this in NEW Post Tuesday…

.

………………..

.

Update: 7:15pm CDT

.

You GO NEWT!

Yes sir… Newt was just awesome this evening!  RICK… Not so much.

I’d sum this evening’s Forum up this way…

Newt… Commander-in-Chief!

Rick… Preacher-in Chief.
