Florida Is Do or Die for Newt Gingrich

Robert Foley of FL:
Ron Paul seems like a very nice person. I am concerned, however, about three of Ron Paul's policies and would appreciate your thoughts on the following accusations some make about Ron Paul:
1. Ron Paul denies being the author of racist statements made in his published papers, even though he acknowledges they WERE in his papers, but he was not the one who wrote these statements.
2. Ron Paul feels that the U.S. should take care of and be concerned only about itself, and establish a policy of isolationism with other nations.
3. Ron Paul feels the Federal Government is far too big, and many Departments, Offices, etc., should be eliminated. Dr. Paul also feels that there are far too many regulations imposed on citizens by the Fed. Gov.
I am also wondering about this as I have not seen this in any media information: Is Ron Paul in favor of "Citizens United"? Does he feel that corporations have the same right to be citizens of the U.S. as human citizens do?
I have also not seen any comments by Ron Paul about the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). I see he is not a member of this organization (which is a relief to me), but do NOT know if he agrees with ALEC's policies of creating and passing legislation, at the state level, along with Corporate Heads, Lobbyists, and Governors, Senators, and Representatives from the Republican Party.
I also wonder why Ron Paul, although he seems a reasonable man, is rarely praised by a majority of voting citizens? What do you think is bothering citizens about him?

Polls, schmolls!
If biased media mongrels, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly dislike Ron Paul, then he must be the one for President.
If biased Rush Lumbaugh-mouth dislikes Ron Paul, then he must be the one to be elected president.
Dr. Ron Paul is likely to run as a third party candidate and my vote will be there for him.
I'm convinced Obama, Romney, and Gingrich are only there to rob as much from the American citizens as they can possibly can, so your vote for either of those three will not change a thing for any of us in this country.

If one HAS to keep in tune with these so-called "polls", then view THIS ONE:
Poll: Who Won the CNN Republican Debate?
January 26, 2012
Ron Paul (93%, 6,858 Votes)
Mitt Romney (3%, 243 Votes)
Rick Santorum (2%, 173 Votes)
Newt Gingrich (2%, 93 Votes)

Biased, you say? What proof would one possibly have with any other "bought-and-paid-for" poll?
Dr. Ron Paul for President of the United States, 2012
...where your independent vote will count!

Tv is boring so I looked up:
“RCP Average 1/5 - 1/28 -- 51.5 39.1 Obama +12.4”
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html
Notice this is a 23 day period. Newt has gone UP in polls:
___
Gallup poll is newer from Jan 24-28, 2012. Newer important when dealing in polls.
“TRIAL HEAT

I understand why you do not want to post your link.
RCP comparing to buma is from 1/5 - 1/27. My RCP Average 1/12 - 1/27 but excludes buma. Mitt has come down and Newt has gone up. buma comparison numbers are OUT DATED.
If you want to post present numbers bring it on as I am. Link is necessary to validate dates, etc..
GALLUP numbers are newer and more correct:
“TRIAL HEAT
CHANGE
Obama
50%
+3
Romney
48%
+2 ”
“TRIAL HEAT

Obama
50%

mr. bill once again you need a candle to see the sun.major polls show the president beating the newtster by 16-18 points.
newt's first ,and biggest,task is to get by romney.till he can parlay a string of victories together he,s going nowhere.he has no ground game.
neither newt,or romney can win with only republican voters.that being said,newt is not going garner the independent vote,so right there he's got a problem.
then theres the matter of money.he's got one big donor,if that drys up,he's done.
then theres the matter of the republican establishment,they wnat no part of him,period.they view him as a loser who if he were to get the nomination,would take down the other candidates on the g.o.p. ticket
in the general election a truckload of dirt would come out about his tawdry past.

With Newt's lead in Gallup poll I doubt it. Teddy will rise from the dead first.
With 2 at obama's heels he can start packing. Don't forget Nobel Peace Prize. I sure forgot why he got it...

Newt and Obama: ....gonners of MO
You’re the guy who said “I don't see your "Gallup Poll" included”. I proved your eyesight is bad. You wrote “Is this some minority poll entity? ”. You don’t know much about polls either.
Yes Newt borrowed from Senator Robert Dole. He could of done like Bill C. and used campaign money. Newt choice not to. 70 + charges was dropped against Newt. Court rule innocent of IRS charges. Newt plead to mistakes by lawyer paying $300,000 to partial pay back cost of several years of fruitless investigation. Bill C. lost right to practice law for lying under oath.
brucetee has no powers. As far a NV going to Mitt:

Found no up to the minute poll in Missouri. Guess you are talking through your empty filled hat. You are “disgusting”.
Facts in doubt or simple WRONG...
