The GOP E despises Gingrich...it’s been an assault from Rove and every other pundit against Gingrich for a month now.
Its not like I think they got together in a smoky backroom somewhere and sent gingrich out on a mission to run cover for romney, I think its more like Gingrich got handed a war chest and was more than eager to take the stage and go campaigning , what a dream come true for a politician to pass up. Gingrich knows the score , thats why he knows it wont really happen for him , but I sure see how it blocks a conservative from getting traction with the Gingo in there
