“Gallup finds that 82 percent of Tea Party affiliated voters deem Newt Gingrich an acceptable Republican presidential nominee in 2012. They don’t seem to realize that if he wins the nod their movement is doomed, regardless of how the general election goes.”

I have to somewhat agree, along with Savage.
Newt is maybe the sharpest of all, but has a lot of baggage
that he can not just throw away.
America, as well as the Republican party, is in deep doo-doo.
“...has a lot of baggage that he can not just throw away.”
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7
The entire Western world is in deep doo-doo.
Yes, it would be better to have better candidates.
Tea party types who back Newt do so because they prefer him to Mitt and don't think any of the others has a chance.
Newt wins the Republican nomination, and we have an Obama landslide victory. Newt has more baggage than would fit the undercarriage of a 747. Obama has always had luck on his side and he will be lucky again if Newt wins the nomination.
If Newt has baggage, 0bama has a luggage train.
