I cannot tell you the joy with which I read that headline, via Memeorandum. Newt, digging himself in ever deeper with the party’s conservative base, reiterates his support for Dede Scozzafava.
If Doug Hoffman does defeat the GOP’s appalling nominee in the NY23 race, it just may be the wake-up call the party needs. Or maybe I’m being unduly optimistic. Maybe guys like Gingrich who just don’t get it are too deeply entrenched and the party will go on making gargantuan blunders and supporting candidates like Scozzafava.
We shall see.

I heard Gingrich yesterday on Mike Gallegher’s radio show blowing air about how Scozzafava is JUST what the GOP needs in order to get back the Majority! Give me a break! He also said that he knows because he did it in ‘94 and that we must make friends out of our enemies!
We soon will see more running on a “Conservative Party” ticket because in my humble opinion trickle down will not work in this senario!
To me, there is no difference in what Mr. G is doing than what BO did on his “apology tour” last Spring.
