Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich?s outstanding debate performance on Monday and key endorsements could set the stage for a strong showing by Gingrich in Saturday?s South Carolina primary, which would position him for a possible win in the Florida primary on Jan. 31 and a chance at the Republican nomination for President this summer. That?s what the two former Republican U.S. Representatives who are chairing Gingrich?s campaign in those two key states told HUMAN EVENTS yesterday.? Following what even Gingrich?s enemies say was a virtuoso performance in the debate at Myrtle Beach (S.C.)

I think Newt will surprise people in SC. He is going to do much better than the polls have indicated thus far.

Gingrich has repeated over and over that SC is a "must win" for him. Is it still? Because I don't see any polls indicating he's very close to a victory there.

He is definitely a man of quick wit and nice election quips, but he is also one of the nastiest whiners of recent time. If there is a smell, it is one of frying baloney.

On Michelle?s birthday no less. The Secret Service was responding Tuesday night to an escalating protest that may have involved one or more smoke bombs being thrown over the White House fence. An estimated 1,000 protesters have gathered. No arrests have been made, but authorities are on alert. The Secret Service also deployed a robot to check out the devices on the North Lawn. No one is currently allowed to leave through the North Gate, but those with the right access can go through the White House and leave through the South Gate.The Obamas were at dinner celebrating Michelle Obama?s
Gingrich's Practical Conservatism

Newt Gingrich identified the very core of conservatism with his remarks in the first South Carolina presidential debate.? His vision of conservatism is the one that most Republicans don't understand and most Democrats don't want you to know. Gingrich was asked to explain his views on work ethic and the government erosion of that ethic through (at least in part) federal and state entitlement programs like food stamps.? He suggested that poor high school students be given opportunities to perform janitorial services in their schools as a way to earn money and to learn how to work at a job.

It's 10 pm.? It's Martin Luther King Day.? You're in the South.? A packed auditorium is deathly quiet.? A large national TV audience is watching.? The electoral stakes are sky-high.? You are sweating on behalf of your favorite candidate.? Then an African-American journalist calls your guy's name -- and asks a racially tinged "gotcha" question.? OH NO!? Hit the mute button.? Take a beer break.? I can't bear to watch!? Why do we let liberals moderate our debates?! So it's not exactly "the 3 am phone call" from the 2008 race.? No, it's scarier than that.? It's the?"10 pm question."?

Think Mitt Romney has been hit hard this Republican primary campaign? Try reading through what John McCain had in store for the former Massachusetts governor in 2008. Two hundred pages of what appears to be the McCain campaign?s old opposition research book against Romney was published on Tuesday by BuzzFeed, offering in great detail a litany of potential vulnerabilities in his record. Many of the issues ? like Romney?s past support of gay rights and abortion rights ? are familiar to GOP voters, but at minimum, the book serves as a vivid reminder of why many conservatives are wary

Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer sat down with Fox News? Bill O?Reilly and opined that Newt Gingrich won last night?s debate ? in fact, he ?won big.? Krauthammer criticized Mitt Romney?s mediocre debate performance and was incredulous at how the former Massachusetts Governor wasn?t prepared for a question on his tax returns. ?How could he not have prepared a nice short succinct humane answer about what he did at Bain?? Krauthammer perplexedly exclaimed. ?He didn?t really have that ? he kind of stumbled around.?

On Fox News tonight, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity that she would vote for Newt Gingrich in the South Carolina primary to keep the vetting process in motion: If I were a South Carolinian though, and each one of these primaries and caucuses are different, Sean, I want to see this thing continue because iron sharpens iron. Steel sharpens steel. These guys are getting better in their debates. They are getting more concise. They are getting more grounded in what their beliefs are and articulating what their ideas

Though I have yet to read anything on the Internet that caused me literally to bash my laptop computer into the nearest available hard surface, comments like this, in the comments section of a popular conservative website, come pretty close: Oh no we won't.? The GOP has been forcing us to choose their candidates.? No thank you. As most of you reading this probably have already guessed, the "oh no he won't" the commenter is vowing is that he won't unite behind Mitt Romney should the ex-gov of Mass win the GOP nomination.

The Tea Party is falling to pieces. In presidential, House and Senate races, the Tea Party is struggling to float viable and effective candidates, unify its base and dictate the terms of national discourse on the economy. It is a harsh comedown for a movement that two years ago sent dozens of its members to Congress, revolutionized conservative grassroots organizing and forced both parties to make the national debt and federal spending their top policy concerns. ?I think the Tea Party?s dying out as the economy?s slowly getting better,?

Dem Rep. Ellison:
Let 16-year-olds vote

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said late last week that the United States should lower the voting age by two years, to 16. "Why shouldn't 16-year-old vote?" Ellison tweeted last week, according to Minnesota's Fridley Patch. "They can drive. Some have jobs. Let's empower our youth." The Patch said Ellison's message started a Twitter debate on the subject, in which some said teens that young are not informed enough to vote. But Ellison rejected that. "Oh come on! 16-year-olds are pretty sharp," Ellison wrote. "When is last time you talked to teens?
Insulting Comments at Fox News Debate

If you want to understand why the GOP is so ill prepared to compete in an increasingly nonwhite America, just look at the exchange between Fox News questioner Juan Williams and Newt Gingrich halfway through last night?s Republican presidential debate. It being Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Williams asked Gingrich whether some poor and minority voters might not be insulted at his claim that poor kids lack a work ethic and that black people should be instructed to demand jobs, not food stamps. Gingrich, as is his wont, haughtily dismissed Williams?s question, to wild applause. Then Williams tried again,
Chris Matthews Accuses

A big moment of last night?s debate came when moderator Juan Williams and Newt Gingrich argued over Gingrich?s comments that many have seen as condescending towards blacks. However, Williams really should have been offended due to Gingrinch?s incredibly insensitive pronunciation of the word ?Juan.? At least, that?s the opinion of Chris Matthews who accused Gingrich of a racial motive in the way he used Williams? name. Matthews? comments came during an appearance on Andrea Mitchell Reports in which he and Mitchell discussed the tone in yesterday?s all white audience. Matthews accused Rick Perry of using terms

The Obama administration took steps Tuesday to stop the spread of non-native snakes like pythons and anacondas throughout the Florida Everglades. The Interior Department?s Fish and Wildlife Service finalized a rule that makes it illegal to import or carry across state lines Burmese pythons, yellow anacondas and northern and southern African pythons. Burmese python populations in the Everglades have spiked in recent years, threatening various endangered species in the ecologically sensitive region.
Obama: I'm going

WASHINGTON ? President Barack Obama will visit Walt Disney World during a planned trip to Orlando on Thursday, according to a White House aide. There, he will "unveil a strategy that will significantly help boost tourism and travel," the aide added. Details on that strategy were not disclosed. But it would be hard for Obama to pick a locale that's better known than Disney for a tourism announcement. The resort giant in Orlando has four theme parks that collectively draw more than 45 million visitors a year. It doesn't appear, however, that he'll get much love from local politicians.
