The Tea Party is based on Newt’s original Contract with America. What a surprise Boston Globe says Tea Party failed. Are you supporting anyone or just out to attack any Republican who happens to be in the lead? Newt is where he is because of his abilities which have really become apparent when he has been placed side by side with the other candidates.
Yeah, my first thought was, “we’re taking advice from the Boston Herald? WTF?!”
Not my Tea Party...I already have a contract with America...It's called the Constitution...Newt should have stuck with the original instead of making up his own...
Agreed. The Tea Party has been quite successful. The last elections are proof of that.
At this point, the Tea Party could not have time to get their type into the presidential running. In two and 4 years, there will be many more TP like candidates.
It takes time to organize a run for office, and the higher, the more time. The serious presidential candidates were making decisions before the tea party was really going. Having such success in the 2010 elections at the House, state and local level is in itself quite fantastic.
Right now, one has to go with Buckley, and support the most conservative guy who can get elected. Personally, I think Gingrich is ahead of Romney there. Cain is interesting, but he is hitting potholes on the campaign trail that a pro, or his people, would mostly avoid.
We are close to past the point where perfect (someone else) is just unthinkable, given the time frames. That’s life.
