Newt is also gaining on Mitt at Intrade. Last week Mitt was at 68, Newt in the teens. Now Mitt is leading only by nine points: 46-37.

[bimboeruption]

No way.

The reason the Tea Party movement was founded was to fight the policies of the establishment.

[hinckley buzzard]

But, but, but what about all this "baggage" I keep hearing about? It's supposed to terrify people and keep them from voting for the man. Must be some weird sh*t, that "Baggage" wherever it is, but nobody seems to care too much.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I’m TEA Party and I’d vote for Newt, but wait anxiously for Sarah Palin’s entrance. I’d never in a million years vote for Myth Romney. NEVER.

[mountainlion]

The rats will spend millions to try to split them up. We have a year of the sideshow yet to come and lots of things to happen.

[hemogoblin]

The media must be planning quite a trashing for him.

But man, I would pay to watch him debate Obama. Or Hillary or Biden or whomever.

[freekitty]

BS Is this the only choice we have. Another cheat and liar.

[Mechanicos]

No hes not. I’m Tea party and not voting for the Rino backup now that Romney been shown for the low numbered Rino he always was. Silly thing, but most all Tea party I know are independent thinkers and not easily swayed by polls or chatter from internet war rooms of other candidates.

[twister881]

I like Newt's speechifying, but I worry that he may not have the temperament, discipline, or stamina to be president for eight years. He is 68 y/o, a hothead, and disorganized. He even takes grand detours in extemporaneous remarks, often neglecting to return to his original point. I would like him as the “Pontification Czar.” Oh, and he's a Big Govt. Republican.

[dforest]

If Newt is Tea Party, I guess I am no longer Tea Party.

[org.whodat]

The tea party will be dead the day newt becomes the nominee. All hail big government and more spending.

[mylife]

So now the tea party is for amnesty, “cap and trade” and mandates?

[greene66]

Well, personally, I consider myself 100% anti-beltway, grassroots, mid-American Tea Party in every way.

Newt, with his insider/DC/lobbyist ethics, his bowing to global-warming, his FreddieMac payoff, his personal sleaze, his rather ‘globalist’ centric mindset... um, it strikes a bit of a discordant note with me, in terms of everything I support and value about the Tea Party movement. Oil and water, I’m afraid.

[LibLieSlayer]

First he is conservative and now he is a uniting force for the TEA Party... has newt walked on water and made the blind see yet? I swear that the party henchmen think we are all as stupid as the dim voters. I think I will puke up a lung.

So called Tea Party candidates who were elected in 2010 haven't impressed me, an establishment lobbyist like Gingrich, if he's elected in 2012 with Tea Party help, also won't impress me.

I knew our Country probably would not elect someone who would reverse our decline and actually turn our Country around, but I was hopping for someone to at least put on the brakes. Sadly, it doesn't appear that will happen. If Gingrich gets elected and gets his way on amnesty, There will be no way to return our Country to Constitutional greatness.

[TADSLOS]

Must be that highly alluring and totally conservative Scozzafava wing of the Tea Party.../s/

[RegulatorCountry]

Newt Gingrich ... an answer in search of a question that nobody asked for a decade and a half, and gosh darnit, he's this close to finding one.
