Doll is right you did gloss over Newt and did not support him and yes he did speak out against Obama and the media
Two actions you champion btw....and Newt did them best
In fact his attack on media catapulted him into a possibity
Nice rant anyhow
Rove....Bushies...Fox hierarchy and so on
The enemy in our GOP civil war....one we’ll lose without an emergent leader for conservatism

WTF are you talking about? I was a Newt supporter, and this book very clearly points out what you are claiming I missed. And FTR, I think you totally missed Doll's point too. Reading. Comprehension. Matters.
From chapter one:
Ah yes, all of this after a primary season where the sorcerers in charge of the establishment messaging machine, including Mitt Romney’s campaign and his Super PACS, found it necessary to call the only candidate running hard against Obama the devil incarnate, but vital to insist that Obama himself is “a nice guy.”
Imagine.
Since Newt Gingrich is supposedly “the Gingrich who stole Christmas,” the GOP establishment felt safe, even justified, in savaging him. Since Obama is “still so personally popular, so likeable, such a great dad, the most amazing figure to visit our lowly planet, so elegant, so brilliant, so Ivy, so pragmatic, has a sharp pant crease” and so on, they ran a frightened campaign that stopped just short of endorsing him.
LOL. This thread provides only snippets of a 104,000 book and you know what is "glossed over"?!
For the record, CEW was a Newt supporter throughout the GOP primary and there are plenty of FReepers who can confirm this. In the book, he only comments upon some tactical missteps within the campaign, but he did support the man and the message during the campaign.
