Establishment Lines Up To Slam Gingrich
Benjy Sarlin December 15, 2011, 9:29 AM 2785 64
The nation’s leading conservative publications are lining up to bash Newt Gingrich, even while they keep their distance from his top rival Mitt Romney.
The National Review, the movement’s flagship publication for decades, came out with a stinging editorial titled “Winnowing The Field” on Wednesday in which they essentially endorsed anyone but Gingrich, warning that his nomination would be a general election disaster.
“His character flaws — his impulsiveness, his grandiosity, his weakness for half-baked (and not especially conservative) ideas — made him a poor Speaker of the House,” they wrote. “Again and again he combined incendiary rhetoric with irresolute action, bringing Republicans all the political costs of a hardline position without actually taking one.”
The editorial mentions in passing that they’re not fans of Rick Perry or Ron Paul either, but the editors barely touched on any candidate’s individual qualifications, making clear that their primary goal is simply stopping Gingrich at all costs. They even ended with a dig at his infidelity.

No way faster than Cain. Near the top one week and dropped the next. Newt will give up when his contributions dry up. I don't think he can carry this thing long term.

yeah I thought about Cain but I think he was near the top for a few weeks (can't recall exactly)
I think Newton was there for a few days and has already started imploding

I agree he is imploding and will go down in a few weeks but he is so stubborn he will not concede until his contributors (lobbyist) quit writing checks.

Newt looks like the OLD new again. no doubt.
you can tell when these guys are feeling the heat. Ron paul is more caffeinated than ever - he's excited - i wonder what those internal polls are showing.
ronpaul attacked the shit out of bachmann, even turned to face her and shit on her way of begging for war.

I think his campaign is actually in debt
My personal belief is that Newt is as shocked as anyone that he is even in the running
He won't be able avoid self destructing and I think he knows that too

Jon Stewart: "Republican primary voters. Please, don't do this".
