If Palin said this she made a big mistake. Newt will get the nomination you can bet on that and Palin is not in the running. To alienate the Republicans in most States that are now endorsing Gingrich she better reconsider or she will split the party and we will get King Obama.
Palin was quoted as saying Newt cannot play an 'outsider'. That may relate to Newt as an insider and powerful player under several presidents for all those decades; plus lends the question of this highly paid man of such great influence but claims self immunity from the mortgage crisis-Fannnie etc. He is not some staffer, political hack or aid, he is always a full time very intelligent Information In Chief. He has certainly been part of history. He could become a great president, but will he get the chance.
