Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. endorses Newt
From Peter Hamby of CNN:
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich picked up the endorsement of former South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer on Monday, giving him his most prominent surrogate to date in a state that Gingrich's campaign has billed as its "southern firewall."
"Speaker Newt Gingrich offers the best and most comprehensive plan to get America moving forward and that is why today I am announcing my full support for Speaker Gingrich ... a true conservative, a true patriot, and true leader," Bauer said in a statement.

Newt to get several South Carolina tea party endorsements in the coming days
From Peter Hamby of CNN:
Sensing opportunity in a state with a vibrant tea party movement, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is beefing up his campaign presence in South Carolina.
Gingrich's national Coalitions Director, Adam Waldeck, is re-locating to Columbia to run political operations in the first-in-the-south primary state.
The Gingrich campaign is also planning to roll out several tea party endorsements in the Charleston area in the coming days. One prominent tea party leader in the state, Columbia activist Allen Olsen, endorsed Gingrich in September.
Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said the campaign is building "a grassroots firewall" in South Carolina, a state that could be friendly to Gingrich given his roots in nearby Georgia.

Two great polls for Newt 2012
The headlines, rightfully, are going to Newt's standing in the latest CNN Poll, which has him at 10% with Sarah Palin included. That's good for third, and the only other candidate besides Romney and Perry in double digits.
But Public Policy Polling (PPP), a Democratic firm, teased their full Florida GOP poll yesterday with two very positive tidbits:

Newt actually more popular with FL Republicans (+28 at 57/29) now than Perry is (+23 at 54/31) (Link)
Newt is the only Republican besides Romney and Perry in double digits in Florida. (Link)There was also this one, which did not apply directly to Newt, but to how damaging the debate could have been for Perry:
Thursday night part of our Florida poll Romney led Perry by 2. Friday-Sunday part Romney led Perry by 10. Debate did matter.

Peter Hamby of CNN on Palmetto Freedom Forum
Hamby, who is covering the 2012 Presidential race for CNN, wrote:
And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won high marks from conservatives, weighing in on Twitter with a policy-fluent speech laced with references to American history and sharp attacks against the federal judiciary.Hamby also talked about an uneasy moment for Michelle Bachmann:
After the forum, Gingrich had kind words for his GOP rivals and said the tea partiers have been unfairly vilified by the media and Democrats.
He made reference to recent reports that Vice President Joe Biden called tea party activists "terrorists" in a closed-door meeting during the debt ceiling debate.
"It strikes me that despite every effort of the news media and every effort of the Democrats to isolate the tea party and treat them more hostilely than we treat terrorists who are trying to kill us," Gingrich said. "Here you have a Democratic Party where it's OK to call American citizens 'terrorists' but it's not OK to call terrorists 'terrorists'? There is something really bizarre about that."
"I believe it is also unconstitutional for states to mandate as a condition of citizenship, that an individual would have to purchase a product or service even at the state government's behest," Bachmann said.
Pressed by conservative Princeton legal scholar Robert George to back up her assertion by naming a provision in the Constitution, she could not.

Newt to be at Jim DeMint's Presidential Forum
Newt's campaign confirmed he would take part in the Palmetto Freedom Forum, which is occuring in South Carolina over Labor Day Weekend and of which South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint is a co-sponsor.
"Candidates will take turns fielding questions from the trio of panelists for roughly 20 minutes at a time," writes Peter Hamby of CNN. An actual conversation when determining who should be the next President -- what a concept!
In other news, Newt will be at the Georgia GOP Fish Fry this Saturday. It will be Noon to 2 PM.
Here is the Facebook event page.
Also, Newt will be on Sean Hannity's TV show Wednesday night.

Review of tonight's debate
As I said on Facebook after the debate: Game on.
Newt really was impressive on a number of questions:
When asked about right-to-work states, Newt both brought up the fact that states that do no have forced unionism have lower unemployment and better economies, as well as the abuse by the National Labor Relations board in South Carolina.
When NASA was brought up, Newt called for a decentralized effort to explore space to reduce the bureaucratic stagnation the agency has become known for.
(Thank you to splicd.com)
On national security, Newt castigated our intelligence efforts for not knowing nearly enough about, among other things, the Libyan rebels. He brought up the Times Square Bomber -- who had pledged allegiance to the United States -- who told the judge in his case that he lied because the U.S. was his enemy.
On immigration, he called for everyone to reject the simplistic argument of complete open borders and amnesty on the one hand or kick out each and every illegal immigrant on the other.
One concern of mine was that Newt might not have the ability to answer in 30 seconds -- but those concerns seemed to go out the window tonight. He was sharp, and even some of his recent critics on the right were very impressed.
Game on.
