Why Gingrich is Bad (and Romney is Awesome): A Politico Megathread Spectacular

[Frodo]

I wonder if the average Tea Partier will recognize that Newt Gingrich is no different than Mitt Romney in that he is just as craven and ambitious, with no core ideology except of gaining power.

I can easily see Newt falling back to earth within the next couple of weeks -perhaps Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, or Ron Paul will offer Tea Partiers a more meaningful alternative?

Newt has a proven track record of carrying water for the jmfcsts, Mitt doesn't.  We don't mind nominating a suck-up, we've done it before, but we have to trust that a candidate will carry our water, and we don't trust Mitt.  Period.

Why don't you run for President?  Or maybe some lower office in your area?  You certainly have the ego for it.
