» Newt may not be Tea Party, but his D.C. enemies treat him like he is – Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
Christian Whiton absolutely is on target as to the reasons behind the collective and almost uniform piling on of Newt by the Republican pundit and political class which supports Mitt Romney, Why Washington Is Shocked, Shocked By Newt Gingrich’s Rise Over Mitt Romney.
Whiton’s theory is that while Newt may be of Washington, he is not a creature of the current Republican political and punditry establishment, and is someone who will do much more than move around the chairs at the same D.C. feeding trough.
This excerpt doesn’t do the column justice, but it will give a flavor, so by all means read the whole thing:
And the best thing about it is that Newt knows exactly who is sitting in those chairs, and exactly where those chairs are.
