Final Results of the Recent "Who do you think will be the GOP nominee for POTUS?" Poll
In the recent poll in which I asked who you thought would get the GOP nomination, over 1/2 of voters think that Mitt's the man. Here are the final results:
Mitt Romney- 58%
Newt Gingrich- 33%
Rick Santorum- 8%
Ron Paul- 0%
At the time of the post (1/22), I was leaning Newt's way. However, January 22nd seems like a loooong time ago because I now think Mitt will be the nominee. Still, I don't think Newt will go away quietly. I'm also not going to count him out either. Newt Gingrich reminds me of something Bobby Ewing said about his older brother J.R. on the series Dallas. Bobby said something along the lines that J.R. is at his most dangerous when his back is against the wall. To me, that's Newt in a nutshell.

Al Sharpton and Joe Madison Shoot Down the Food Stamp Lie About President Obama
On last night's edition of "Politics Nation with Al Sharpton", Al and his guest (radio host Joe Madison) debunked the lie started by Newt Gingrich that "more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history".
As you can see from the clip below, Sharpton announced that he's willing to meet with Gingrich to challenge him over Gingrich's food stamp lie. It remains to be seen if Newt will accept.

Please Take A Moment To Vote In the GOP Nominee Poll... Thank You
On Tuesday November 6th, one of these four men (Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul) will go up against President Barack Obama in the general election. Who will it be? I think it's a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Although his impressive showing in the South Carolina primary could be an isolated incident, I'm leaning toward Newt Gingrich getting the nomination. I say this because I think the Republican base wants an angry candidate who they believe can go toe-to-toe with President Obama. They couldn't care less about all the baggage that makes up the personal and political life of Newt "Samsonite" Gingrich. What they want to see is the political destruction of President Obama and they think Newt is the man for the job.
