Should Romney Be Running Scared into FL Primary?
Newt won it in SC after a dismal performance in NH. What do you think will be the next exciting episode in the Republican primary soap opera? And is Romney toast or has he just taken a temporary step back?
ARENA ASKED: Newt Gingrich has won the South Carolina primary, the Associated Press projected Saturday night. Should Mitt Romney be running scared after his second-place finish? Or will the Jan. 31 Florida primary prove a firewall?

MY ANSWER: Groundhog Day came early in South Carolina. Newt Gingrich’s candidacy popped its head up from what seemed to be a deep hole into which he had dug himself with his philandering and arrogance.
INTENTIONING
Sex, Power, Pandemics, and How Women
Will Take The Lead for (Everyone’s) Good
The new book from Gloria Feldt about the future, taking the leadership lessons learned from this disruption and creating a better world for all through the power of intention.
Gingrich’s victory in the South Carolina primary shows that for all their anti-gay, anti-women’s rights, pro so-called family values rhetoric, Republicans care most about power for their own interests. If the earth really were flat, they would be rolling off the far right edge of it at this moment. Mitt Romney has never quite proved he’s ready to go into that abyss, so he is in real danger of joining Florida’s own Herman Cain on the sidelines after 1/31.
Romney should be running scared–of both Gingrich and Santorum, who mark my words will make some kind of unholy alliance to drive a stake into him in Florida. Endless money and even a tiny spoonful of voter common sense could yet save the day. But, no “sure thing” ever is. And so the fight goes on.
Here’s the original post on Politico.

Gloria,
You’re an idiot. Yes it’s true that you snooty, snotty, snarky leftist elitests make us nausious. And yes we are starting to fight back. That dear-in-the-headlights look from John King at the debate was priceless.
To answer your question, Mitt Romney is toast. We hate Republican establishment types almost as much as we hate snarky leftist wackadoodles like yourself.
Have a nice night,
Love John
