Put another way, Newt will die the death of a thousand sound-bites. Democrats can get away with wonkish behavior and the Media lauds them as the smartest in the room. If a conservative does that... well, let's just say they won't allow it.
The dem and press dirty tactics which were so successful for years don’t work anymore. Not since the rest of America has been exposed to Obama, Pelosi, dem house and senate and the Tea Party. The lies are ridiculed now. If Newt did something illegal during the recent past which can be proven, ok. Nothing short of that will cause us to throw him over, certainly not media and enemies rehashing the past which was mostly their lies.
