I heard Mark's Friday Podcast as well. Funny though, Mark's defense reminded me of Marc Antony's sly use of reverse psychology against Brutus at Caesar's funeral.

Remember this?

“ANTONY
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.”

It’s fairly obvious that none of the main talk show voices like Newt. Levine has stated he’s for Santorum. So has Mark Davis.

Rush has not committed to anyone but his defense of Gingrich, while present, has not been passionate.

Also, several former conservative stalwarts are against him, including Coulter, Drudge, Brit Hume, etc.

I’m wondering why?

Is it something about Newt or is it that they don’t think Newt can win for some reason.

It’s looking like it’s between Newt and Romney now and I’m hoping for Newt. But he may be getting an infusion of money now and maybe he can fight on even if he doesn’t win Florida.
