I tell you one thing, the mittbots are on slavishly thick tonight, so we’re definitely witnessing one of many flashpoints of Romney spending in terms of opinion-shaping on the interwebs AND on the ground.

She is NOT attacking the Tea party. She is a key Tea party person. Gingrich is a “progressive.” He has no relation to Tea Party people.

Something is going on. Our little local group was approached a few weeks back. Gingrich wasn’t mentioned but he made it clear that the party needed to get rid of extremists like Bachmann.

If Newt is the leader of any Tea Party group, that group has either been co-opted by the GOP or is not a real Tea Party group. to be a real Tea Party member, you have to be anti-Establishment. Otherwise, you are merely a stooge of the GOP.

Yes she certainly has turned out to be one. I have overlooked some of it in the past but this time she may have jumped the shark. I think she went to far this time.

Got to prevent coalescing around a single Not Romney candidate. If his war chest can keep the conservatives split he wins.

13 SC Tea Party Leaders Blast Bachmann Tactics – Patch Nearly a month after a SC spokesman for Rep. Michele Bachmann accused Newt Gingrich of trying to buy off the state’s Tea Party leaders by bringing them on as staffers, more than a dozen of the movement’s leaders are fighting back.

This would suggest that she was correct !

"13 leaders of the SC Tea Party movement "

So how do you get the job of being a tea party leader? Are you elected, turn in a job application or maybe setup a web site?

The only man she doesn’t blast is Romney. Why? She’s angling for the VP slot.

One things for sure. Can’t tell how all this stuff is playing out. We are essentially flying blind. Latest polls are getting stale and don’t reflect the impact last week’s events.

Yes, that would appear to be the goal, keep Conservatives divided so that he can slither in, like McCain did.

I did hear Michele make the statement about Newt buying off the Tea Party.

I must admit, I was really confused. Why in the world would she cast doubt on the integrity of the very people who support her just to try and Newt look bad?

Bad move, imho.

I've said for a while: If not Newt, it will be Mitt.

The others haven't seemed to measure up, so that statement still holds.

It will be interesting to see if the conservatives come to the same realization, or hold out for perfection and give us another McCain like they did the last time.

Why would Haley bolt out of the barn and endorse Mittens when the time for endorsing is months and months away?

If she thinks that, either she is delusional, or Mitt is dumber than he looks. Romney’s best claim is that, despite the lack of enthusiasm for him on the part of conservatives, he could win over many independents. Bachmann would drive them away—and at the rate she is going, will have antagonized all the people who initially supported any of the other conservative candidates.

Got to help the establishment slay the Newt, before it becomes too big.
