“Newt is not an establishment guy?”
The previous poster said Newt is not the establishment choice, not that he wasn’t an establishment guy. There’s a difference.
You don’t get any more establishment than Rove, but if he were suddenly to throw his hat in, the powers that be would still pick Romney or Perry.
The establishment Republicans would be very happy with Newt. Anybody that can make ads sitting on a couch with Pelosi can work with them too.
