She’s playing it cool, getting the word out without creating a distraction that would inevitably happen if she endorsed now, and put the spotlight on her rather than on Newt for these critical next days.
I was fantasizing earlier: Based on the Newt we’ve seen in the past couple of debates, I just can’t see him quietly riding into the sunset if he doesn’t get the R nomination. So (here we go..) suppose Newt just says Screw It, this is too important to just let the RNC money machine win by default, and launches his own 3rd Party run?
“Everyone” says that a 3rd part would just guarantee a 2nd term for Obama, but I’m not so sure “everyone” is willing to accept RINO Romney. So what if Newt were to Go Rogue, and add another rock-ribbed Conservative named Sarah Palin as his VP?
Yeah, I said it’s a fantasy but knowing Newts sense of history, I can’t count it out completely. If there were ever a time for a bold unconventional strategy - this is it.
I’ve been thinking the same thing myself. That if Romney is crowned, Newt needs to go 3rd Party.
I would be all in for that.A hill worth dying on.
The standing joke actually fact is that Newt should cut and carve a ‘second’ party run.
Angelo de Codavilla nailed the true nature of the makeup of powers of today.

There is one party today that is the Ruling Class and they comprise Rs and Ds,
Then there is the Country Class that has no party as of yet. If Newt can pull off forming a Country Party and winning the Whitehouse, then we are all on the road to reform and recapturing our heritage, and the decentralization of power will begin.
But of course it will not go without a fight.
