"Critics, including supporters of Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich and even neutral Republicans, argue that the national party took steps that helped tilt the contest toward Mitt Romney — an allegation that the RNC rejects but is taking very seriously.
The list of specific grievances ranges from issues that even the party acknowledges are legitimate to those that they dismiss as desperate fixations from Romney’s flailing rivals.
An operative for one of Romney’s GOP rivals said, “I know this sounds like Watergate conspiracy theory stuff, but it is all connected. It’s the same sort of establishment crowd who all have concluded that we need Mitt Romney to be the nominee to beat Barack Obama.”
The operative, who was not authorized to discuss the race, has worked at high levels of GOP politics, but said, “It has been eye opening to see up close the degree to which the establishment does put its thumb on the scale.”

DON'T GIVE UP - We've just hit a rough patch...
Onto Tampa - Hang Tight - We Can Do This!!
Now, if you're going to tell me some fantasy of McCain fanatics doing the slightest thing to help Newt, I'd say you're off your rocker. And of course they're for Romney - a fair number of them were his people to begin with, before they got sent to McCain. As for Santorium - of course they don't care if he gets the nomination or not - he's earned every RINO chop there is, including his magnificent ‘bipartisanship’ and losing his seat to a Democrat.
As far as I am concerned, the only ‘conservative’ in the race is Newt, and he's got some issues of his own.
Started with mind control over the other candidates and voters. 60% wanted to vote for Bachman. Maybe it was the unusual plant pods dropped off at conservatives’ gardens. /s
These candidates, including Romney, and their supporters are playing right into Obama’s hands.
Everyone before country, divide and conquer. Exactly what the left wants.
Politico is an arm of the DNC and Soros.

The RNC has been in this zone for over 6 months now, they should be the ones who are nervous.
GO NEWT!!
TOP GOP Official: We “Do Not Consider Perry a Factor… We Know Who it is Who Will be Our Nominee”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 4:54 AM
Those words were spoken today by Georgette Mosbacher, RNC Finance Co-Chair and huge GOP fundraiser, after Chris Christie’s announcement. The “we” is all the big bundlers, fundraisers, and money folks who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the field to be set — and that quote represents the coalescing around Mitt Romney that is expected to happen rather quickly now. Mosbacher went on to say:
“I think tomorrow, we’ll be contacting one another and probably put something together with Romney… And I would say that the race is now Romney and Obama. Quite frankly, the enthusiasm wasn’t there at the outset. He’s less conservative than a lot of us would like. However, our first and foremost goal is to defeat Obama. And we do believe Romney, in terms of independents, will be a strong candidate. We will coalesce behind him now… the time has come to get behind him… Tomorrow I’ll be on the phone all day. Quite frankly, it’ll be easier, because now we know who it is who will be our nominee. So we will pull our Rolodexes out and get to work.”

I have seen this posted a couple times, don't know if it was you or not posting, but this time I checked out the link, and all I can say is politics as usual, why things are the way they are, why the fight is so difficult.
and you're right, they remind of democrats, Texas dems, to be specific..
Thanks for posting this...
Yes, I agree they are. But even Rush says they get it right sometimes, I think they got it right here..
These candidates, including Romney, and their supporters are playing right into Obama’s hands.
Everyone before country, divide and conquer. Exactly what the left wants.
I don't know who you support, but I actually do believe Newt, even with his issues, is in it for country... he knows better than anyone where we're headed..
Are fish waterproof?
I'll still vote, I just won't waste it on a liberal hack socialist named Romney or a Marxist liberal hack named 0bama.
Pope, bear, etc, etc.
Next question...
Is a bear Catholic? Does the Pope $hit in the woods?
NO. Every cell in their body is surrounded by it. ;>)
Last election Romney dropped out of the Race to give it to McCain,it was then Romney was told Do that and Next time its your turn,the Knives then Started coming out to Destroy Sarah Palin and set it up for Another Loser,Romney
