Nuck Fewt...................

The few times I have heard Callista speak, she has been most impressive.

She could be a lot of help to Newt on his moral issues.

,..if it wasn't for the fact that she has a history of screwin' married men.

So is it Newt or Trump for you? Come on!

Climb the ladder to success! Ick!

newt talks, he doesn't attack--other than burgers

Ain't none of us perfect.

Callista Gingrich is quite a dish, and a smart, classy woman, to boot.

We could use someone like her in the White House again. Might help bring a little style and substance back to the country.

Say or think what you will about W, but does anybody not love Laura Bush?

Sorry, TRH, when have you see an ugly guy get elected since tv became popular. ron paul is not electable

As long as she does not get sick Newt will be there by her side! He is a Classy Guy!

Ich!

Wasn't that you're other lackey, Edwards?

At least Johnny's smarter than Obama, and probably more honest.

With BHO's approval now around 60% and the economy improving this is not going to be easy.

I think the best bet is either Romney or The Newt. I am predicting Romney will get the nod. I have not endorsed him or anyone else.

Gallup has the death of Osama bin Laden, President job approval bump up about six points and Rasmussen about the same.

Based on the downward trend of their Consumer Index numbers, Rasmussen is saying the bounce is over.



60%? Since when? Last I heard from Rasmussen concerning Obm@'s approval rating it was mid 40's. The economy improving? By what metric? If you mean improving because of government spending and hiring more .gov workers then maybe, but the private sector isn't improving by a damn sight. U6 unemployment is still well north of 16% and the labor participation rate is at an alltime low. Even the BLS primary unemployment stat is close to 9% and holding. Input costs are rising for businesses, and the price inflation that people are having to pay while their home values are steadily dropping are killing them. Improving? In your alternate universe maybe, but not in the real world.

You must have been sleeping when Newt was in charge and made the contract with America. Honest?? Only to the power brokers. Newt was, is and always be a crook.

As of this morning the AP had him at 60%.

There is no denying the economy is improving. You may not like the reasons it is improving nevertheless it is improving. I predict it will continue to improve into 2012. This will create strong headwinds for any Republican candidate.

You're wrong. Show me the data, not your opinion.

Spano�s poll:
Associated Press

1. 60% of Americans approve of Obama, 39% disapprove�up from 53%

Other polls not so good�

Gallup 5/7 - 5/9 1500 A 52 40 +12
President Barack Obama's job approval rating is up six points, from 46% to 52%, after the death of Osama bin Laden. The increase is a fairly typical "rally" in presidential approval after a major international event.

Rasmussen Reports 5/6 - 5/9 1500 LV 50 49 +1
The Rasmussen Consumer Index, which measures the economic confidence of consumers on a daily basis, fell three points on Wednesday to 80.0. This is the second straight daily decline and could signal the end of a bounce in confidence that followed Osama bin Laden�s death. Consumer confidence is now down five points from its recent peak. However, it is still up five points since the bin Laden news and the coming days will determine whether it settles back to that level. From a longer perspective, consumer confidence is up two points from a month ago and down 10 points from three months ago.

It's not Spano's poll.

Improving economy:

1. Stock market at post recovery highs and near all time highs.
2. LEI up .4% in March this after a 1% gain in Feb. and a.2% gain in Jan.
3. Retail sales up.4% in March for its ninth straight monthly gain.
4. Coincident Economic Index (CEI) up .2% in March. This index is up 1.5% over the past six months.
5. Interest rates remain near historic lows.
6. Payrolls rose in 38 states in march and the jobless rate declined in 34 states.
7. Capacity utilization rate increased to 77.4% in March continuing an improvement from the recession low of 67.3%
8. Inflation remains low with a core rate of 1.2% YOY. The CPI is now at 2.7% YOY.
9. Manufacturing in Q1 grew at a 9.1% annual rate.

I could go on...

10. The Rasmussen Consumer Index, which measures the economic confidence of consumers on a daily basis, fell three points on Wednesday to 80.0. This is the second straight daily decline and could signal the end of a bounce in confidence that followed Osama bin Laden�s death. Consumer confidence is now down five points from its recent peak. However, it is still up five points since the bin Laden news and the coming days will determine whether it settles back to that level. From a longer perspective, consumer confidence is up two points from a month ago and down 10 points from three months ago.

THUD!

The AP poll I quoted is the only one I could find with 60% of Americans approve of Obama, 39% disapprove�up from 53%.

So to repeat Mike�s question; where did you get your 60% approval numbers?

Unemployment: Up
Gas prices: Up
Inflation: Up
Food Prices: Up
Healthcare costs: Up
Dollar Value: Down
Housing Values: Down
Consumer Confidence: Down

The economy is improving? Must be the new math......
