If Cain leaves, Newt will be in for the fight of his life. Newt will be attacked in a way that makes these Cain allegations look tame in comparison.

[Deo volente]

Newt’s personal baggage is already out there. It’s an old story.

[Big Horn]

The Chicago way.

[nuconvert]

I don’t know, most of Newt’s history is just that: history

[Responsibility2nd]

I know. With Cain - these were just allegations. But with Newt?

A fact of life.

"If Cain leaves, Newt will be in for the fight of his life. Newt will be attacked in a way that makes these Cain allegations look tame in comparison."

Yup.

But then again, we couldend up with lots of questions about special underwear and secret marriages and dead baptisms. Good night. What's left, Perry? George Bush without the eloquence.

[Huck]

Once Newt gets a full inspection and public rehashing, his boomlet will be done, and then the Tea Party will have to scurry back to Perry or Bachmann. All this just as the primary season actually begins. And there will sit the safe, vetted, presumptive nominee, Mitt Romney.

He's going to win it because the opposition failed to compete. This will send the GOP base into total chaos, with bloggers and talkers and much of the base having to choose between 4 more years of Obama, or a hard swallow of pride.

No telling what will happen. Will be interesting to watch.

They’ve been after Newt for years - I doubt there’s anything new on him.

[redgolum]

Yep.

Looks like it will be Rommeny’s turn to loose in the General election.

If cain leaves, who it sounded a little over 2 weeks ago would get Trump’s endorsement, then I’ll go out on a limb...Donald trump will run 3rd party. If Laurie Roth can run 3rd party then Trump can too. So plan on Trump at least to start attacking the GOP elites. This is a strong possibility. Trump looked to be leaning towards candidates who are losing support. Bachmann, Perry, Cain and Santorum. So his critera will be met to run and that is that nobody worth it is emerging to win the nomination. Not sure how Trump feels about Gingrich. But he didn’t sound favorable of Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.
