Let's think back...how many flavor of the month's have the Tea Party thought was the 'exactly right' candidate? First there was Bachmann, while they secretly opined for Sarah Palin, then there was Rick Perry who they found out was not very articulate and really 'steps in it' quite a lot and he has that pesky immigration policy problem, and then there was Herman Cain...that will show em, they can't even say we're racist now...but alas, he has a past, and now Newt...lol. It won't take long for him to implode...he not only has documented history of baggage that goes on and on, but he is crotchety and not really all that likeable either. It is honestly become embarrassing to be a Republican...sheesh!

You left out Romney.
Who can't talk his way out of a paper bag defending the personal mandate he still supports.

That's because the establishment needs to crowd out the GOP field so that Paul doesn't wipe the floor with Romney's face. If the race was just the non-tea party types, then you'd only have Romney, Huntsman, and Paul up on stage. Giving Ron Paul THAT much exposure is extremely toxic to the establishment since Paul is as anti-establishment and anti neo-tea party you can get

Ron Paul has never had his leg humped by the MSM as much as he is this year.

Gingrich has replaced Cain in the number 2 spot in the Marist poll released today. Could this be the Gingrich who stole Christmas for Cain? Looks like Gingrich will be the new (latest) anti-Mitt for the right.
The Tea Party is running out of candidates. Gingrich is one of the few left standing, and they're desperate enough for anybody but Romney to actually give him a second look. But I expect his fall to be even quicker than the others, because unlike Bachmann, Perry and Cain, he isn't, and never has been, one of them. Too bad for them, they're going to be stuck with Romney in the end anyway.
