If the GOP establishment wins the battle of Romney vs. Gingrich, it will lose the war of Romney vs. Obama. Romney will depress the vote so much that hell finish further behind than McCain.
The GOP establishment old order doesn't seem to care that they are killing the republican party. So, they either don't believe that conservatives will not vote for Romney, or they simply don't care if Obama wins.

And astronaut, you're missing the point entirely.
Honestly, I'd rather have Santorum than Newt, but all this out and out hatred for Newt by the party elites makes me think supporting Newt is the right thing to do.
Go Newt!

The GOP establishment old order doesn't seem to care that they are killing the republican party.A friend of mine last night was spinning a theory that the Republican leaders WANT a hard right-wing third party. That would allow them to become a center-right party and turn the US into a parliamentary system where they'd be able to hold the balance of power, triangulating each side to form coalitions against the third. Their power would grow even as their membership shrank.
