I think you’re right. These political guys are not stupid. They know the one Alinsky-ite tactic that still almost always works and fools the public every time is to come out and say the exact opposite of what they’re really thinking.
In this case, the new message is that Newt Gingrich’s nomination will cause us to lose seats in the House and Senate. However, we already know from reporting such as Jonah Goldberg’s Newtzilla to the Rescue article that they have admitted privately that they’re afraid Newt WILL BEAT OBAMA. Which makes it totally illogical that Newt would beat Obama, yet lose congressional seats in the process.
So I think you’re right. They are actually afraid the Republicans will get such a large majority with Newt that they won’t be able to “play both sides” against each other, i.e. the Dems and the RINOs. Newt will have a wide Congressional that owes him their seats and will be able to accomplish the kind of revolutionary reform that he and the Palins have been demanding.

Exactly!
