Polls continue to confirm what the GOP can't deliver thanks to teabaggery: a non-threatening candidate like Romney or Huckster can just ride the tide into office with ease.
People they will actually nominate like Palin and Gingrich? 4 more years! 4 more years!
Gingrich a Tea Partier? That's a strange way of looking at things. I mean, isn't Gingrich one of those "establishment politicians" that tea partiers don't like? They're more into "outsiders"/dark horses (except Palin) who don't have a long political career (and who haven't already served in the federal government).
Gingrich has been out of the system long enough that people associate him as a true conservative outsider.
I think it's generally believed by conservatives that Dennis Hastert screwed them over on Contract with America not Newt Gingrich.
True, hence they don't remember Gingrich as establishment, either.
Gingrich can win the Teabagger vote.
He certainly can, though the competition will be tight and he has more than enough skeletons in the closet to make the position of king-maker a much more attractive proposition. I see Gingrich courting the media with the possibility of a presidential bid for the next few months and then, days before it is too late, endorsing someone else. There was an article about him encouraging Daniels to run, so as of now that is who I will peg as having his endorsement in this scenario. I could see either Pawlenty or Thune getting it if Daniels does not run.
