This is a very funny and interesting discussion of the Establishment politicians in the GOP. They are really in a panic after South Carolina and the early polls in Florida. Of course, the early and absentee votes in the Sunshine State may allow them to breathe a bit easier.
Anyway you can read this link and then go to the real source of it to see why I am laughing my butt off at that little group that has been running the GOP too long.
Roy--the reason the establishment is in a panic is because they like to win elections. I hate to tell you this, but a tea party candidate will not win over independent voters to win the general. That's why they're freaking out. If that doesn't matter to the tea party, then it is what it is.
I'm not sure the repubs REALLY want to win the presidential election and they sure won't with Newt....Romney would have a slim chance.
Obama already does what they want and fractures dem opposition because the prez isn't an (R) so the public partisan D's will just go along with *whatever* as long as Obama isn't against it.
Then they blame everything on Obama.
Honestly, from a purely strategic standpoint the Reps are better off losing this election.

Which is why I just posted want I posted.
Forget all of the strategy crap. Vote your principles. Don't sit out. Keep it simple.

Since you obviously didn't read either of the links I proposed you don't know that the man who said the real bother for the GOP establishment is named Newt Gingrich and not Tea Party. I don't remember the Tea Party being mentioned at all in all those words. However, I do remember the mention of all the worry about the establishment is winning congressional elections. I guess you do have some of the idea without reading.

They decided to lose this election nearly 3 years ago. They (the GOP establishment types) don't care about winning the Presidential election and I am sure that they are crying about the reporter asking Jay Carney if there is a picture of Saul Alinsky in the White House these days. Carney had one hell of a time trying to answer that one. What happens when the people learn about this great story? Maybe Newt really can win. The people of South Carolina told me a bit about what they thought about the establishment line and the polls in Florida are looking like the disease is spreading.
I said it before and I'll say it again Obama will be reelected because the old guard GOP is broken and in the process of rebuilding itself. However the R's will keep the House and Gain the Senate because of the new conservative independent movement.
Vote for the person for best represents your principles.
Don't play any of these other games about who has the best opportunity to win.
Whatever happens, happens.
I started hearing the old coat tail thing today. That obviously came from the establishment people wanting so much to keep Newt from winning their party's nomination. They fear that Obama's coat tails will sweep some of them out of the Congress. I sure don't want to see that happen with a repeat of the first two years, but only they think that Obama has to win.
GOP will take the Senate easy. Short of catching 4 or 5 of them having relations with farm animals its a done deal. They will keep the house.
>Vote your principles.< Newt will alienate the center and give it to Obama. The Dems LOVE you!
