Oh no, I certainly didn’t miss it and there is no doubt the Tea Party will get behind Newt or whoever wins the nomination. But there’s no disputing that national elections are won by whoever wins the moderate and independent vote. The left and the right will vote for whoever they nominate.

But who scores lowest in the independents and moderates of this group - Gingrich. Not that we need Romney or some other moderate republican, a good conservative could easily win the independents, as most people are sick of this unqualified poser, the bad economy, and all the stench coming out of this administration.

The media doesn’t have all the baggage and low favorability numbers on Bachman, Perry, Santorum like they have on Gingrich. The public persona the media has created for Gingrich is very negative and already set in the minds of most people, not the tea party supporters. but the independents who will as always decide the outcome.

Sure he can win, but with Ginrich as the nominee it’s now a tight race.

And that is because the MSM has worked harder at destroying Gingrich than any other candidate (except Cain). Now, ask yourself, Why is that?

Romney is the one the media has left alone, and who the public doesn’t know, Gingrich has been exposed for 20 years, there is no well of new secrets for the media, it is all old hat.

The media will gut Mitt like a dead fish if the time comes.
