U.S. News & World Report: Newt "Could Be the New 'Comeback Kid"

Paul Bedard of the magazine writes:

Either way, the big-thinking Republican, his supporters, and presidential political experts sense that Gingrich, left for dead by the political class weeks ago when his staff abruptly quit and stories surfaced about his big-dollar Tiffany's account, is on the way back. The reason for the emerging Newt 2.0? His effective performance in the last debate that inspired supporters to boost online donations after he assailed the deficit "super committee" while spelling out detailed solutions to fixing the economy.

"He moved out of the irrelevant category and now he has some standing," says a GOP analyst. "His strengths are his ideas and translating them at a debate. Given that there are lots more debates, he has a chance to win."

The Gingrich surge is seen in some polls. In Missouri and Louisiana, for example, he is fourth behind Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Rep. Michele Bachmann.

"The general response to the campaign has gone up significantly since [the Iowa debate]," says Gingrich. "There's been somewhat of an uptick in polling numbers, not gigantic yet, but starting us back on the road to building a unique case. What I'm trying to do is show leadership now, show how you could actually solve problems and do it in a way that is totally compatible with conservative values but is also common sense and in some ways bipartisan," adds the Georgian.

"A number of people say that I'm just different and that they are glad to see somebody who isn't just articulating slogans without trying to develop solutions and my hope is that will grow," says Gingrich.

He feels he can come back and take the GOP nomination because the economy is so bad that voters more than ever are looking for new ideas.

Some suggest that his effort is similar to Sen. John McCain who in 2008 staged a comeback after being written off. Gingrich rejects that model. "I'm actually closer to [Barry] Goldwater and [Ronald] Reagan," he says. "They were arousing new groups, new organizations, using new issues and doing it new ways and it took a while to build momentum."

Also in the article, when asked about being a "Comeback Kid," Newt replied: ""Well, I may be that, but I may be more like a comeback grandfather."

Newt's campaign is promoting the fact that there will be five public discussions of issues in September -- four debates and Jim DeMint's Presidential Forum next weekend in South Carolina -- and those will shine light on the fact that Newt is the one with the real solutions to renew America.

Newt: let working Americans keep more of their money. Bachmann: no.

An article from IowaPolitics.com goes into the different Republican Presidential candidates' views on extending the payroll tax cut. Hannah Hess writes:

Both Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich agree with the extension, their campaigns confirmed to IowaPolitics.com this week. They support keeping the tax on workers’ wages at a 4.2 percent rate, rather than the normal 6.2 percent rate, as a way to keep more money in the pockets of middle-income Americans.

Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann, apparantely, oppose working Americans keeping more of their own money. Rick Perry could not be reached.

With Bachmann, this is nothing news. She wants the "perfect" bill -- though won't do any actual work to improve the bill (hasn't even chaired a subcommittee in almost five years in the House) -- and when it's not there, she stands up and says, "No!"

She can do that because she knows her vote will not be the deciding one on any of these issues. If she was President, I can almost guarantee she would sign the bill -- because she couldn't hide. (It's the same principle that allowed Senator Barack Obama to rail against raising the debt celing only a few years before President Obama said not raising the ceiling would result in doomsday.)

Writes Hess:

Supporting the payroll tax cut extension aligns with the views of conservative leaders in Iowa, including Polk County GOP Chairman Kevin McLaughlin of Des Moines. McLaughlin serves as president and founder of Iowans for Discounted Taxes, a nonprofit that advocates for lower tax rates.

"They can make it permanent as far as I’m concerned," said McLaughlin, who has lobbied for state property and income tax relief. "If you really want to get the economy up and running, you want to discount the income taxes too, so that all the consumers that use those businesses have more to spend."
