I guess you guys noticed that nowhere in that line-up for Newt’s TV appearances this Sunday is FOX News. Not a surprise; FOX has been in the tank for RINO-Rom for months.
fox is having a santorum “exclusive”, lindsey graham, and richard blumenthal, armed svces cmte. Graham recently said quite a few nice things about Newt...
I posted this and was enthusiastically many times informed that lindsey graham is persona non grata at FR, even when he says nice things about Newt. I tried to respond but was obviously out of my league, I just excused myself politely and went back to the kiddie’s table. But this is a different context and maybe I’ll get some slack... you must agree if he says this on Fox that would be a big plus for Newt... if it comes to it, please be gentle. it’s been a long day :)

“What I’m saying about Newt, why did we lose confidence in him? Because he was changing the game plan. The last group to talk to him sort of won the day. But I can’t imagine his job. The first time Republicans had the congress in 40 years, trying to lead a revolution, taking people like me that came here to burn the place down and govern the country and deal with Bill Clinton — a good politician. Looking back, I appreciate how hard his job was better than I did in 1997. And I’m here to say, as the guy who was in the coup, that looking back we were too hard on him and if he got to be the nominee I think he could win.”
“Being a backbencher throwing bombs because you’re not pure is a lot of fun, but governing the country is a lot harder,” he said.
The South Carolina Republican said he believes the country now needs someone like Gingrich to “embrace big ideas and take political risks”
“The one thing about Newt that is compelling is that I don’t think he looks at politics in terms of the next election cycle. He looks at politics as a generational issue,” said Graham.
