Newt's going to be the only one at The Donald's "debate" - and I can't wait to see Donald go Crazy Birther on Newt, and Newt tell Donald to GFY. The implosion will be ... stunning!

I mean..do you think it's because he's capable or candidate by default and self-implosion of all others?

i don't think newt's capable. he's just the latest non-romney to get attention. i guess the right wingers are going to get all the non-mormons up in the polls and then watch each of them crash and burn in turn.
it'll end up romney vs huntsman for the nominee. lol

oh boy. what a joke this campaign was/is/will be.

I seriously think that the GOP knows that beating Obama this cycle will be very difficult. Even the "someday hopefuls" (Jeb, Christie, Rubio, etc) are keeping their good names out of this mess. The GOP has always used primogeniture to pick their candidates, thus they are letting Romney be the sacrificial lamb of 2012. There has been no GOP push to get a decent, top shelf candidate out there. The best part of Romney is that the RNC is dead broke, and Mitt can use his own wealth to finance his campaign, so the party won't even lose money this cycle. I think the party is in a holding cycle, waiting for 2016. I don't even think they are that concerned about 2012 downticket races. However, I think you'll see RNC money going only to downticket races, not to the Presidential race.

The only concern the party is publicly starting to have is the brand being permanently ruined by the crazy.

The old establishment GOP can't stand Newt. They kicked him out of the party when he crashed as Speaker with his record-setting $300,000 of ethics violations. Even if Newt were a serious candidate (he can't be, too much political and social baggage), the establishment GOP would not allow it. Newt's on a book tour, between his lobbying gigs, and everyone knows it.
