I know who Dobson is.
And he is supporting Gingrich, otherwise he would never have given Newt a forum to reach out to evangelicals and seek their forgiveness.
By doing so, Dobson gave Newt his blessing, so to speak.

Dobson knows if he can pull off the evangelical vote for Gingrich, he will have enormous access and influence in a Gingrich administration.
Seems Dobson fancies himself some sort of pied piper.
He’s just now discovering that he’s not.

This is interesting. What you are theorizing is mirrored almost exactly from an article in the American Spectator.

"It's not a coincidence that you saw Dr. Dobson attacking Fred Thompson when he did," says a former associate of Dobson's. "There's a strategy here, and it's about clearing the way for Gingrich to get in....Shortly after Gingrich appeared on Dobson's radio show earlier this year and poured his heart our to Dobson, who forgave him for past personal indiscretions, Dobson attacked Thompson for not being -- in Dobson's view -- a Christian. That attack was interpreted by many to be Dobson's attempt to deflate what was then growing support for Thompson within the social conservative movement."
