How could they be hillbillies when they live in the low country?

Secondly, why do you assume they're uneducated?

They could simply be brainwashed about the candidates, the result of the media. The other option is that they could be ignorant. One last option is that they may have a different point of view.

TPers know no boundaries, they are roving bands following their anointed lead Lemmings.

Newt looks incredibly full of himself/pompous. Do you all see the same thing?

For a long time, but I hope he winds up the nominee.

Jesus, Newt is really pounding.
I like the CNN web story on the debate today. I'm being sarcastic.

Congratulations on your sound logic. Though, I am not sure sound logic is of much use in the kindergarten.

I guess, at this point, I am undecided and I only have one more day to decide!
If Newt Gingrich doesn't win the nomination, he should host a weekly TV show called something like Debating the Issue where he picks one topic a week and two people square off on it or he debates another person.

I think Newt the Candidate will be a lot better than Newt the President but not because of all of the jazz swirling around him that the media harps on. I just don't see him as an executive who can bring his ideas to fruition. All of his accomplishments stop at the implementation of them. That's true of Santorum and Paul as well. And I don't like Moderate Mitt Romney being forced on me. That leaves me with Gary Johnson in the general election...and probably 4 more years of Obama unless some Republican conservative governor (and I don't mean moderate) rides to the rescue.
