Tonight’s debate in Jacksonville may be the most important one yet. There’s been a huge momentum shift in favor of Mitt Romney just days after an equally large shift in favor of Newt Gingrich. With the numbers so volatile, the debate could swing the Florida primary. And a loss could potentially do fatal damage to either man’s candidacy.
Immigration has loomed large as an issue between Romney and Gingrich. So have dueling financial disclosures, the Cayman Islands, and what the candidates thought about Reagan in the 1980s. This race is getting uglier as the stakes get higher. Audiences will be allowed to react tonight, so expect Newt to try to whip up the crowd.

Mr. Neutered, The Pillsbury DoughBoy Serves As Our Useful RINO-CINO Dupe To Extend The Campaign, Deny The Ruling Elites' RINO-CINO Frontman, Mittens Romney Enough Delegates And Head To A Brokered Convention.

Uh Oh !
" The new polls conducted by Monmouth University and SurveyUSA, Rasmussen Reports and NewMax/Insider Advantage all show Mitt Romney leading Newt Gingrich by margins of 7 to 8 percentage points among likely Republican primary voters in Florida. All three find Romney with 39 to 40 percent of the vote and Gingrich with 31 to 32 percent. "

Tyrell has put an end to Gingrich, I guess we have to move on, can Santorum make a run?

I am watching this disgusting fat freak Newt on Kudlow. He is endorsing Obama's amnesty and attacking Romney about illegals self deporting.
Fat faced Newt says the illegals won't self deport - tell that to Oklahoma, Alabama, and Arizona who saw their illegal populations decline dramatically after tough anti-illegal immigration laws were passed.
This jerk is vile on many ,many levels. The Americano, Puerto Rico statehood and just an general love of illegal aliens makes him unacceptable.

If only he would self deport back under the rock he came from.

Newt MUST be the right guy. ALL the knives are out today.
Mike 3/505| 1.26.12 @ 8:25PM
I'd say Romney is up on points so far. He's winning the immigration back and forth...even though Gingrich's original proposal was/is more practical than what Romney first put out. Romney is getting more agile.
blitzed is doing a decedent job of stirring things up...which of course...is HIS agenda.

Santorum may have just bailed out both Mitt and Newt....but not soon enough.
Mike 3/505| 1.26.12 @ 8:39PM
At the break...my call is: In the fight between Romney & Gingrich...Romney remains ahead on points. gingrich is scoring...but only as a counter punch. Romney seems to be getting the last effective shot in each exchange.
Clint| 1.26.12 @ 8:43PM
Santorum Doesn't Wanna Talk Aboiut His Involvement In The " K-Street Project".
Aaaand,
" Santorum collected fat board payments fom Universal, the King of Prussia mental-health and community hospital chain which makes most of its money from taxpayers via Medicare and Medicaid, even as he claims to oppose more taxpayer subsidies for healthcare."

romney has gotten MUCH better on his feet. He took Gingrich's echange w/Blizter and turned it into a win for him...
