The importance?

“The importance?”
Hopefully a solid base of support for Newt in order to stop the RINOs and Mitt. For what ever reason Rick and Michelle can’t even lead in their own states. I haven not seen anything on how Rick Perry is doing in Texas.
To: TBBT
IMO, the importance is that he clearly demonstrates a good way to damage a grass roots movement.
If the Tea Party is going to do the RNC’s work for them, it’s a real problem.

You people Tea Partyers, why do you rank Santorum below Romney and Gingrich?

Probably because Tea Party activists do not see whining as a leadership trait.

Pragmatism. Vote for the most viable conservative you get elected. Santorum may be conservative, but he's not viable nationally.

Because Santorum is worthless, annoying and is not going anywhere. Though a solid conservative, he supported his senate buddy Specter, the most odious man in the senate at the time (at least on the republican side). I find myself fast forwarding past him to somebody else, somebody worth listening to.
To: TBBT
Everyone is acting like Newt is out of it now. He’s not out of it. Polls are easy because it’s not your actual VOTE. When it comes time to actually cast it, no turning back, we’ll see if some of these “paul” supporters really give him their vote.

So Romney is pragmatic and does not whine on his flip-flops to allow him to vault over Santorum. He canvassed for Specter only after getting his assurance that he’d push conservative judges as Chair of the Senate Judicary Committee. More importantly if Santorum gets the favorite son vote in PA and carries the state, it’s curtains for Obama. Oh, and then there’s that small thing called the Catholic vote. The Tea Partyers don’t seem to get the message: “Its The Culture Stupid”!

The establishment “country club” republicans are doing their best to sabotage Gingrich to make him seem unpalatable to the true conservatives (particularly fiscal conservatives). This tells me more than anything else that I want to support him even more than I did before.

The Republican establishment appears to be making inroads into various Tea Party groups.
Remember, politicians can be VERY slick.

There are NO representatives of the real TEA Party movement... and anyone claiming that they speak for the movement is a liar. They only speak for themselves and those they surround themselves with.
