If you asked me even a couple of weeks ago whether the Republican Party could heal from the wounds of this election cycle in time to unite against Obama, I would have said Yes.
Im not so sure anymore. After the South Carolina primary the Republican establishment, and media supporters like Matt Drudge, launched Scorched Earth II on Newt, while pro-Romney pundits like Ann Coulter heaped scorn on the conservative and Tea Party voters who sided with Newt.
It may just be not-beanbag to the Romney campaign and its supporters, but people hear them loud and clear.
Two lines of attack have exposed a schism between the Republican political haves and have nots which will not easily heal: The attempt to rewrite the history of the Reagan revolution and the embrace of Nancy Pelosis partisan ethics attack and blackmail.

I agree, I thought McLame just wanted it on his resume, so he would be thought of as a senior statesman.
What they forget is that some of us had grandfathers that taught us to never surrender.
I never thought I could say this, since I haven't cared about Newt for years. In fact, I was determined not to vote for him as recently as two weeks ago. But thats no longer the case. Im enthusiastically supporting Newt and will vote for him, warts and all. I have also realized how much I dislike Romney and see him clearly as a useless individual: a wimp who wont, and indeed cant, beat Obama.
The fact that the Democrats, the GOP establishment, and numerous RINOs are supporting the wimpo Romney makes me more determined to support Newt.
Man, what a difference a couple of weeks make.
A tea Party! The time has been long in coming. If this is how they act—they need to go the way of the Whig Party—into the dust bin of history. If Newt is trashed-—3rd Party sounds like an option. Maybe Trump can call in on this. IF sarah Palin can on to a 3rd Party—I would follow her—even into Hades.
Neither will I. No way in H-E-L-L will that piece of slime get my vote; even if Palin with the VP pick. Not now! Not ever! Not even if Newt were the VP pick! If it comes down to Romney, the GOP-E will rue the day they shoved that POS on us!
