Goldberg makes an interesting point near the end: if conservative GOPers take the Senate and hold the House, Romney could be “controllable” while Newt could be a wild card. To be clear: I think the point is interesting, but I’m not advocating for Romney.

"I think the point is interesting, but I’m not advocating for Romney."

Glad we're in the same club but what scares me is that even Jonah is now pimping for Mittens.

You got to the heart of Goldberg’s article. In a previous post I postulated that I believe Newt has burned some bridges with the republican congress - past and present.

He was forced out of the Speakership by his own party.

Ryan is the face of the new Republican Party, and I do believe Ryan and Romney could work together better than Ryan and Gingrich.

I am far from a Romney supporter. I’m just saying if it comes down between Romney and Gingrich, the Republican leadership would rather work with Romney.

What I find way more interesting and compelling is how the Republican leadership would deal with a President Cain.

Isn't it possible that Newt's time in Congress has impressed on him the importance of Congressional cooperation if the President's agenda is to get accomplished?
