Newt Gingrich ( King of Grandiosity ) : "If I win the [South Carolina] primary on Saturday, I will be the nominee. If I don't win the primary on Saturday, we will probably nominate a moderate and he will lose to Obama"

.

I comment about an article in "The Atlantic" Magazine :

Newt is like a super model and actress that I know that always says that she is the sexiest girl in the World and acts as if she is perfectly convinced and persuaded of that fact of powerful attraction to men, even if she is 60 years old and has undergone many plastic surgeries and medical treatments. And that outstanding Lady is still in show business and advertising, believe it or not, Mr Ripley !.

Newt is campaigning with all his shrewdness and grandiosity and presenting himself as the only possible and practical anti-Romney. Newt is the king of self-assuredness, imposing and impressive pretension.

"I think one of the great weaknesses that Republicans have is that they're boring," - Newt said on Wednesday

"They're boring! They don't know how to communicate!" he said. "I'm not a normal Republican. This is part of why the Washington establishment doesn't like me. I think being interesting beats being boring. I think communicating beats hiding"

If you believe that you have the power, then you have it. - And Newt is surging in the South Carolina polls for the Republican Primary that will take place on next Saturday, January 21 or 2012.

The Unsinkable Newt Gingrich


Some excerpts :

Peevish, pedantic, grandiose -- Gingrich is all of these things, and you don't have to spend much time around him to start rolling your eyes. ("I really am a bold change agent," he reflected, pensively, at one point.) But he's also a tremendous amount of fun, especially if he's on your side. His audacity is breathtaking, his imagination infectious, his humor as vicious as it is delectable.

Gingrich projects the promise of a total victory for the conservative argument in the war of ideas: "I believe we can go into every neighborhood in America, in every background, and say to people, 'Would you rather your children had dependence, with food stamps from the government? Or independence, with a payckeck from a job? And I believe we will win that argument everywhere, and I think we can set up a campaign this fall of extraordinary proportions by bringing the country together."

So, fine, Gingrich is a blowhard. But he's a very good blowhard.

In Easley, he repeated a version of that line, warning the crowd that "without saying anything negative about Rick Perry or Rick Santorum, the fact is, as you look at the polls... there is one candidate that can stop Mitt Romney. A vote for anyone else is a vote that allows Mitt Romney to potentially be our nominee."
