RINOs promoting a RINO . . . now that’s a real surprise.

[izzatzo]

Another whiny RINO ala Mitt.

...but I thought it was too late for new candidates to jump into the race. Isn’t that what Palin supporting conservatives were told?

"Paul Ryan could do it but he genuinely doesn’t seem to have the appetite..."

Aw, c'mon Paul. Get hungry.

If Newt looks to become the winner over our RINO then get someone else quick.

Establishment you were given your warning in 2010 and yet you chose to ignore it.

I think the elites are trying to float Daniels and Jeb Bush. There’s two dogs that won’t hunt.

Heh...

Andrea Mitchell: Romney Adviser Said Party Elites Will Find Alternative If Romney Can't Win Florida

Imagine the rage and fury within the base if Newt wins the big primaries but not enough delegates for outright nomination, resulting in a brokered convention in which the GOP poo-bahs then select a milquetoast like Mitch Daniels (or Jeb Bush) to carry the GOP banner against Obama, after all the infighting and debates.

Whoo boy!

[Biblebelter]

Mitch Daniels=warmed over Tim Pawlenty

[hinckley buzzard]

If Daniels got in tomorrow, Newt would cast him as a pawn thrust into the race at the eleventh hour by panicked elitists to hold back the populist tide after Romney failed to do so

Which would be exactly right. Daniels' career as a presidential candidate would be short and not so sweet.

[YHAOS]

The Repubic Establishment is getting desperate.
