Could there seriously be a fix among the gop establishment to block Newt? speculating on my part but I would never underestimate the republican insiders. Looks like the talking heads are not happy with the Newt surge (making fools of them)
Hang on to your hats folks..this will be one hell of an election. IF you are pro Newt...brace yourselves for a lot more than just normal mudslinging...they will do a “Scooter Libby” on Newt.
The excerpt I posted was towards the end of the article.

Brokered convention? BS, not likely.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.

This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.

wait until there’s a “brokered” convention. Then all heck will break loose.

The OWS will look like a peaceful event.

How did Reagan ever get around the Republican establishment that wanted his mic turned off?

Who else we got? Palin (I wish) or Rick Perry or Bachmann?

Klein has brain damage from the liberal media echo chamber.

I looked up Ezra Klein in the dictionary and all they had was a cross reference
“See: Douche Bag”.

All of them RINO’s and RomneyBots. Predictable.

This is what happens during a brokered convention according to Wise Geek. “A brokered convention occurs in a US Presidential convention where no nominated candidate has received the needed delegates decided by primary election and caucuses to secure the nomination. If two people running in the primary elections are nearly tied in delegates as the nominating convention approaches, the decision of who will actually run for President is taken out of the hands of the people. Instead, it’s left up to unpledged delegates (called so by the Republican party) or the Democrat Party’s superdelegates”

Enter Romney?

If at a brokered convention the party establichment tries to force Mitt Romney upon the voters, it will likely destroy the G.O.P. forever.

And good damned riddance if they try it.

There’s this Politico story about all the Washington Republicans who hate Gingrich.

If this is true, then I'm starting to like Gingrich a bit more.

Don’t like either one. However, that being said, I would rather have Newt than Mitt if I have no other choice.

The RNC will have to wait until after the primaries. This is where We get a chance to voice who we want with out them.

It’s going to be a battle, first with the established RINO’s then zer0

I’m betting the RINOS will be a battle, but neither one will be much.

They just don’t know how smoking bad we want this fight.

Both go down, America wins

Ezra Klein is a snot nose, little, whiney brat. He started the infamous journolist site that got busted for plotting to destroy republican candidates.

He’s a POS and NEVER has claimed to be objective. He’s not real bright either. Never has been accurate and just a slimey little jerk.

He has no knowledge of what is going on, he’s too busy shilling for another POS, obami.

Let’s reward these RINOs for attacking Gov. Palin
and her children and the other conservative women.

By ignoring them.
Not one of them is a conservative.

Uh oh. The more the Republican establishment is against Newt, the more I’m for him.

The harder inside the beltway establishment republicans push back against Gingrich the more primary votes he gets!

What a dumb article. The ‘64 rules favored party establishment hacks far more, and that didn’t stop Goldwater.

A BIG chunk of Republican delegates come from the south. They ain’t going Romney.

If they want to do brokered, they have to find some widely respected figure who sat out from a dislike of campaigning, sort of a younger Fred Thompson type.
