Not so sure Newt's in it to win now....Romney check mates by calling it before the NRC.....which pretty much prevents this going to convention.
The most Newt can do now is keep getting his message out there....he doesn't seem to be pulling any cards to play at this point and if he's got any he better get them down NOW.

Just like we have been finding out what our so-called heroes in conservative politics and conservative media are made of... this may be a turning point for Newt. He has always tried to play within the bounds of the party, not that he didn't chastise them, but he has a long and proud history of his accomplishments through the GOP.
He hasn't wanted to name a VP until the convention, because he felt the governors wouldn't help him if he did that, but if the rabid establishment does this Friday, it may be the green light for him to go totally rogue outside the GOP.
He is 68, the GOP has been his home, he does have friends and allies there, so we will see.
We will see. He won't do it immediately afterwards, but he can be coaxed, I am sure..
If he does do that, that is his gamechanger. I am in Florida, so is LTC West. A few of us are thinking of paying him a visit :)
Gird your loins because Friday will be very hurtful for the Newt faithful...
