Hi wil,
Recent polls have Newt winning more republican/conservative/tea party votes, nationwide.
The establishment is VERY UNhappy with this possibility.
Romney has the lead in Florida.
Most republicans don't trust him & there's that health care thingy he passed. That will neuter any issue with Obama, & that is a HUGE issue with republicans.
I heard Newt is planning to say through the convention, guess his backer is willing to fund him.
I also heard, the billionaire funding him, if Newt won & ended capital gains taxes, would save over $500 Million A YEAR!
So I guess giving Newt $5 million here & there is chump change.
All that said, the lousy field combined with the circular firing squad, IMO has ruined their chances.
Obama was born under a star ;))
