RLC via NBC ^ | january 24, 2012 | RLC via NBC

"I talked to a top Romney adviser tonight who said, 'Look, if Mitt Romney cannot win in Florida ....And we're going to have try to come with someone as an alternative to Newt Gingrich who could be Jeb Bush, Mitch Daniels, someone.' Because there is such a desperation by the so-called party elites, but that's exactly what Gingrich is playing against," Andrea Mitchell said on NBC tonight after the debate.

Why do you think he's employing Charlie Crist's people to work on his campaign?

Yep, and you know that stuff cuts both ways. Just wait until the RNC donations really dry up and money starts flowing directly to tea party and other conservatives.

Gingrich rocks the boat and the elites want a status quo. Sound familiar?

I was listening to her and her fellow demons in that discussion, and was surprised that they so frankly acknowledged Romney’s shortcomings.
It’s that bad!

I would like to say they can’t be so stupid they’d pick another Bush but I know they really are.

The GOP establishment will try to embarrass him just like they did with Sarah Palin. The difference is that Newt is one mean ornery SOB.

Of course Romney’s a liberal...and Mitchell knows it. Where’s Mitt’s support coming from...? George H.W. Bush, Charlie Crist, Chris Christie, and the northeastern establishment.

Nelson Rockefeller may be dead...but his big government spirit lives on in Mitt Romney.

Newt, with all his warts, is our best hope.

Apparently nobody even bothers to do a search anymore when they think they have a hot scoop. I’ve been following this all freaking day.

He is. And he learned from being railroaded as Speaker. They won’t do it again. He knows what to expect.

Repulsican party elites already have an alternate.

And the alternate is already in office.

Up yours, elites.

What are the party rules? Is the RNC chairman going to unilaterally decide who will be the party candidate? Are Congressional Republican party members going to vote on for ‘brokers’ or are they going to vote on who is going to be candidate? Or do R state representatives get to vote? ... So many questions and no answers ....yet.

Sounds like empty threats and smoke and mirrors from the Establishment.

Oh yeah, another Bush. That’s the ticket. Why not just run Dole again — morons.
