President 2012: Newt Gingrich Urges Santorum and Perry to Drop Out of Presidential Race – Bring Conservatives Together Against Romney
Newt Gingrich on the Laura Ingraham Show@4:53 Gingrich: One of my goals over the next four days is to convince South Carolina conservatives that voting for me is the one way that they can stop a moderate from becoming the nominee. And if I can convince enough people that the other votes are for nice guys who aren’t going to win that they functionally help Romney become the nominee.Newt Gingrich is correct and the conservative vote is split and there is NO consensus candidate.Buoyed by his strong debate performance in Myrtle Beach, Newt Gingrich has called his rivals to drop out of the race because “consolidating into a Gingrich candidacy” would “virtually guarantee victory” in the South Carolina primary and stop Mitt Romney becoming the Republican nominee.
Making the case to a crowd of almost 200 in an art gallery in the old railroad junction town of Florence, South Carolina he said: “If you look at the polling, I’m the only conservative who realistically has a chance to be the nominee.
“So any vote for Santorum or Perry in effect is a vote to allow Romney to become the nominee. Because we’ve got to bring conservatives together in order to stop him.”
But, do Santorum and Perry care?
Probably not.
I suspect Perry will withdraw after a dismal Saturday performance in South Carolina and Santorum may not be able to continue due to campaign cash problems.
Newt could come in second in South Carolina (or even win it) and should a Super Pac fund him enough, weather Florida and hope for better election outcomes – one on one with Romney.
But, is it too late?

President 2012: Fish or Cut Bait Sarah Palin
Conservative divas Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter berated Sarah Palin and her supporters tonight on The O’Reilly FactorAnn Coulter makes a valid point in the video above and Eric Erickson nails it this morning.
What they are saying is that Sarah Palin must “fish or cut bait” on her 2012 Presidential candidacy. Either Sarah, you are in, or you are out. But, in any case, ENOUGH of the tease.I have said for months that Sarah Palin would determine she should run, if she were a viable candidate in the polls against President Barack Obama. Poll after poll has demonstrated that she is NOT.
Sarah Palin is NOT ELECTABLE against Obama.
So, is there a role for Sarah in 2012?
Of course, and she can rehabilitate her political careeer just as richard Nixon did. But, this rehab takes time. Sarah has plenty. She runs a 1:45 half marathon and is only 47 years old. Her politcal career has a few decades – if she plays it smart.
Sarah Palin should pick a conservative candidate for President who can beat Obama (Rick Perry or Mitt Romney or Michele Bachmann), latch on, maybe take a Cabinet position when they win. Or, move back to Alaska and run for Senate in 2014. Or, move to Arizona and take McCain’s seat when he retires.
Do something and end the tease – for all of us.

Meghan McCain Tweets: Rush Limbaugh is FAT FAT FAT FAT!!
Remember the Flap when Laura Ingraham and Meghan McCain (the Progressive Republican) had the “FAT” dust-up? And, Meghan told Ingraham to kiss her ass?
Then, there was the Jaba the Rush video from Al Gore’s Current video operation.
Now, Meghan is staying classy again.
Update:
A follower on Twitter suggested I state the obvious but here goes: This is a PARODY.

John McCain Refuses to Defend Daughter Meghan over Laura Ingraham Kiss My Fat Ass Comment
Think Progress is all over Senator John McCain today in his apparent non-defense of his daughter in the Meghan McCain vs Laura Ingraham “Kiss My Fat Ass” FLAP that I covered yesterday.
But, is it really a non-defense or simply disgust that his daughter is being USED by the LEFT as a TOOL?
Look at the Twitter interview of McCain and ABC’s George Stephanopoulos:
I am the father of three daughters and believe me that Senator McCain is disgusted with Meghan. He is not defending Laura Ingraham to curry favor with the right wing.
How stupid.
As I twittered yesterday, Meghan should smart up and stop being used as a Left-Wing tool. She might also try a REAL JOB instead of writing for Far Lefty Tina Brown’s Daily Beast.
Can’t her mom, Cindy McCain, get he some type of job in the Beer company?
The original Flap is below.
Meghan McCain on The ViewFlap loves these cat fights particularly when the left-wing fools at The View WEIGH IN with a MORON like Meghan McCain.
Here is Laura Ingraham’s response:
Both have their points about calling/ridiculing a woman as FAT. But, it is also a stretch (a very large one) to consider Meghan McCain a Republican pundit.
