Old Hillary was Dark Phoenix--insane but still powerful. You had to try and control her because it seemed like you could never beat her. She would lash out and take down anyone around her. New Hillary is just regular Phoenix--kind of a dick every now and again, but mostly an asset to your team.

In U.S., Fear of Big Government at Near-Record Level

Americans' concerns about the threat of big government continue to dwarf those about big business and big labor, and by an even larger margin now than in March 2009. The 64% of Americans who say big government will be the biggest threat to the country is just one percentage point shy of the record high, while the 26% who say big business is down from the 32% recorded during the recession. Relatively few name big labor as the greatest threat.

That is brilliant.

And that's Ron Paul doing that to Newt. I think those who favor Newt as the nominee are vastly underestimating how much Democratic attack ads will kill Newt. (And people can hate Obama, but for all his faults, he is one of the better campaigners in recent history. That whole HOPE and CHANGE campaign was political genius. It's not like Obama doesn't have some very good people working for him as well.)

It wasn't the genius of the message, but the genius in implementing the message. Turning a one term senator into the winner in places like Indiana, while making a former war hero known for independent thinking into a partisan crotchety old man, unstable and unable to lead. All without tarnishing Obama's positive image. Just imagine what they could do to Newt, and ponder what Newt has been doing in the last 13 years while out of politics...not sure that's a closed book.

Hereeee weee gooooo

PPP Poll

"There has been some major movement in the Republican Presidential race in Iowa over the last week, with what was a 9 point lead for Newt Gingrich now all the way down to a single point. Gingrich is at 22% to 21% for Paul with Mitt Romney at 16%, Michele Bachmann at 11%, Rick Perry at 9%, Rick Santorum at 8%, Jon Huntsman at 5%, and Gary Johnson at 1%."

Amongst voters who view issues as more important than electability:

28% Paul
17% Gingrich
14% Bachmann
10% Romney

"Finally we threw in a Tim Tebow favorability question for part of the field period. He comes out at a net +35 (48/13), making him more popular than any of the actual candidates. Maybe in 2024..."

Imagine if Paul wins Iowa, he then has a real shot at winning New Hampshire . If we wins both states, hell breaks loose.

Brokered convention plz.

LOL. After a majority of the candidates bow out of Trump's debate, Trump himself backs out claiming that people are afraid that he will still run for President...and he still might!
