Showing up to the debates in Florida without a strategy, unprepared for the obvious assault he was facing from Mitt, confirms the worst suspicions of who Gingrich is - a shoot from the hipper, overly impressed with himself. Tuesday night in Florida we saw the other Newt - the one who breaks through by articulating powerful ideas with great clarity.
If you're comfortable with how America's decaying, then we don't have to change much. We can just manage the decay.
A confident, and presidential, Mitt Romney gave his Florida victory speech at about 8:30 Tuesday night. In this cut, he let's President Obama know that no one's going to forget who's responsible for the miserable economy.
How did Mitt win in Florida? Of those who cared about beating Barack Obama, 58% went for Mitt, who also earned a slight advantage in Tea Party voters. CNN breaks down the exit poll numbers.
Yes, the candidate's job is to be the candidate, but I still find it surprising that Mitt is so disconnected from tactics that he doesn't know the voting rules in Florida - independents don't get to vote in party primaries. This makes for a dramatically different election.
Independents in Florida, can independents vote in Florida? Oh... independents cannot vote in Florida...
In a bizarre Florida election day robo-call, Newt attacks Mitt for for being a fiscal conservative and making spending cuts during a budget crisis in Massachusetts.
Mitt Romney vetoed a bill paying for kosher food for our seniors in nursing homes...
Question: Does Mitt love America?
Now, Mitt's actually started to sing!
Mitt Romney has simply spent too much of his life in the penthouse - there's no fixing him. Here, he tells Fox & Friends that he wishes he could claim Hispanic roots.
You were talking about how your father was born in Mexico. It’s the first time I’d heard you say that. Is that helping you with the Latino community in Florida?
Bobby Jindal complains about a teachers union leader who argued against expansion of Louisiana's new voucher law, suggesting that parents aren't sophisticated enough to make school choices for their kids.
If I’m a parent in poverty I have no clue because I’m trying to struggle and live day to day.
The voucher program is currently limited to “Opportunity Scholarships” in New Orleans.
The program is a key element of Jindal’s broad proposal to overhaul Louisiana’s education system and would make any low-income family whose child was in a school rated C, D or F eligible for public money to send the student to a private school, writes Adelson.
Teacher tenure and the use of seniority in making personnel decisions are also at risk of being cut under the proposals. However, Steve Monaghan, president of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, has attacked these aspects of the proposal and has accused Jindal of using “inflammatory rhetoric” to demonize teachers.
The president, doing some sort of Google voter chat, tells one woman that her unemployed husband should be able to find work "right away" because he's an engineer.
John Heilemann is a regular on Morning Joe, so it's surprising to see Scarborough giving the Game Change co-author such a hard time.
How many times did you bring up John Kerry's 13.1% tax rate in 2004? Is that none? Is that 2? Answer the question...
