That's what I'm praying for. Whether by design, or by providential accident, Newt has picked up the pennant of Tea Party conservatives. He's carrying our banner into battle, wearing our colors, and articulating our passion our resolve, and, yes, our anger.
I pray that Newt is aware that he's being handed lightning in a bottle. That he will be humbled, inspired, and emboldened by his awareness of that fact. I pray that he will prove a worthy gladiator, wielding our gathered power with wisdom and conviction. If he does all these things, then I pray that he will never forget who brought him to the dance.
Go, Newt!
