You need to drop the Sarah Palin as founding father myth. She is badly maligned for her role in the campaign, but she is not the person who is going to figure out the direction for the Republican Party. Newt is about the only guy who is actually offering ideas to solve problems.
The problem the Republicans have are not because of Newt but despite him. They were all for the Gingrich revolution until they got power. Then they were merely interested in more pork for their districts.
It's a direct slap in the face of the RINOs.
They've spit in the conservatives' faces for so long...
How many more senile, doddering GOP compromisers are there before we've gotten rid of all of them?
Seriously, Mel Martinez, Lindsay Grahamnesty, McCain's immigration advisor, fatass Hastert, ...
And what's with Bob Barr being an ACLU member and running for Prez (just to draw votes from the GOP...which cost us North Carolina).
I know, it's only one little thing. Just as Brunner in Ohio is one little thing. And Eddie Rendell and fraud in Pennsylvania is one little thing. And the theft of the MN Senate by Franken is one little thing.
Add up five or six or a dozen little things, and you have a catastrophe.
Where are the DEM calamities?
Even Elliot Spitzer is not being prosecuted. What favors or threats were involved with that?
