LOL at how snugly the tag "St. Joan of the Tundra" fits Sarah Palin ~ but there does seem to be a line that's been crossed between Gingrich and Romney ~ it's gone well beyond policy differences and is firmly in "the uglier-the-better personal" realm ~ I see that kind and level of politicking as damaging to all ~ Sooz

GOP Collateral Damage
By Ed Kilgore

The hatefulness consuming the Romney-Gingrich struggle in Florida is spreading pretty rapidly through the opinion-leaders of the GOP, whose exchanges are beginning to resemble Dollar Beer Night at a professional wrestling venue.

The oddest back-and-forth involves an attack on Gingrich by veteran conservative foreign policy luminary Elliot Abrams, who as part of National Review's unofficial Week of Unloading on Newt, published an article accusing Gingrich of having rhetorically stabbed Ronald Reagan in the back as he was fighting treasonous liberals to stop an imminent invasion of Florida by the Nicaraguan Sandinistas (no, Abrams didn't use that last phrase, but that's pretty much the intended implication).

But then Abrams was taken down a big notch by the American Spectator's Jeffrey Lord, who showed that the grizzled neocon had taken Gingrich's remarks far out of context. In the same piece, howeer, Lord went on to accuse ABC News of conducting its interview of Gingrich's second wife Marianne as retaliation for a criticism Newt made of the network back in the mid-1980s. That's some serious grudge-nursing he's suggesting, but the idea went viral once Rush Limbaugh repeated much of the Lord tirade on-air.

Now nobody loves a good food-fight quite like Sarah Palin, and having been out of the news for a bit, she took to the same famous Facebook page from which she successfully launched the “death panelâ€

How weird.
Now even Spellcheck is too much trouble.

He meant to type howe'er.

I just had this image of Sarah blowing Newt in the Fox News parking lot while Callista is being interviewed by Steve Doocy on Fox and friends.

The republicans are going to be running against each other instead of Obama when the election rolls around.

Be interesting to see how vindictive the Lizard is once they dump him. Romney is definitely the party choice and will be the nominee no matter what. Cheating, bribery, lying and possibly more are fair game to ensure the desired outcome.

I'm hoping Gingrich has a big enough ego to think he can run as an independent.
