I think if that is true, we will see it in the next 10 days. But after Florida, if Newt wins, they will line up behind him. They may not like Newt, but they do want to win. All this talk about him being no help down ballot is BS. Down ballot is going the way of the Tea Party, just like 2010. Newt will be much more helpful in that regard than Mitt.
THE PEOPLE NEED NEWT FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!
We need to make calls! A part of the GOP is already in the tank...change their minds! Tell them there jobs are more at stake if they don't let the people decide!

Remember when Newts whole staff quit last summer because he took a vacation cruise? Bet they are really hating life tonight,,,
That’s right. They can’t control him when he says that Palestinians are an invented people or talks about gold. That’s just not ‘nuanced.’
Campaigns always come down to money, and after this last week, Newt is going to be getting plenty of it.
Imagine how many wealthy conservatives got goosebumps just thinking about what their ex-wives could threaten to do...
And as Newt continues to attack Obama and the elites while promoting American exceptionalism, he’ll have the grassroots support too.
Newts a CFR guy, please give me a break.
The “Establishment are TERRIFIED that Newt Gingrich returning to D.C. will be a revenge bloodbath.
Remember, a LOT of the people who forced him out are still there. And Gingrich has a memory like an elephant.
I’m gonna vote for Newt regardless, he’s the best candidate
The GOP wants obama re-elected. This is all a game they’re playing
Newt scares the hell out of them, BECAUSE they know they cannot control him. Like Newt was in the ‘90’s, Lott and the bunch took Newt out any way they could, which is why they trumped the phony “ethics” charges against him.
They also tried to play nice with the Democrats during the impeachment, and Newt would not have it. So he became frustrated and quit even after he won reelection.
I don't blame him one bit. We need to help him get some serious RINO payback, right here and right now! I am certain that we will be cheering the result if we nominate him.
Who exactly would fall into that category? I would guess we are talking senior senators and congresscritters. Also people inside the beltway like Krauthammer...Rover...etc. BUt who EXACTLY are we talking about.
