Midknight Review -- new and revised: Marist Poll has Obama beating all the competition, but Gingrich is within two points and Romney within four

Original Commenty

It is clear from this poll, that Newt has made huge gains in the last two weeks. In fact, just 5 days ago, he was almost 10 points behind Obama. Today, he is two points behind. Can you imagine where he will be once he gets started with a campaign?

Romney still leads in most polls, and in a CNN poll, is beating Obama by 4 points. To date, Romney is the only GOP candidate who "beats" Obama in a head to head comparison.

Gingrich is one of the least personable of the several candidates, but this debate oriented primary strategy, best suits the ex-Speaker.

I do have my reservations, however. In recent years, he has moved more to the Right, but there was a time, 10-12 years ago, that he did not think much of the "hard right." He was one of the first to come up with the idea of an individual mandate. He was pro cap and trade, or, at least, in favor of a form of that regressive tax circumstance.

He was elected to Congress in 1979, and voted for the establishment of the Department of Education, that same year.

But, of course, all the candidates have their issues. While I am nowhere close to being "decided," Newt would be a formidable candidate and good conservative representative, or so it appears.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
