Now it is the GOP grassroots base vs. the GOP establishment. OH HOW SWEET IT IS! [View all]

There is a wonderful civil war taking place inside the GOP, and how it will end is unknown right now. The Grinch is again on the rise. His big mistake in Iowa was that he didn't go bigtime negative on Romney. Tried to take the high road. He won't make that mistake in FL. NEWT IS GREAT AT PUKING OUT THE KIND OF ROTTEN RED MEAT THAT THE GOP HARDCORE BASE LIVES TO EAT UP. He is a master of it. If the hardcore GOP base sees that Santorum and Grampy Paul have no chance and consolidate around the Grinch, and if the Grinch can raise enough money and put together enough of an organization to be competitive in FL, then he has not only a shot of winning FL but also of winning the entire nomination. Even if he makes it close in FL, it continues to hurt Mittens. So what does this do? Oh it is just so wonderful. It may force Mittens to IMMEDIATELY release his tax records which are full of corporate rich boy goodies for everyone to hammer him on RIGHT NOW. (You see he wants to sew up the nomination before releasing them because of all the shitty info. they contain which will damage him.) Also, this makes Mittens go further to the right making him look like even more of flipper since Newt's main narrative is that HE is the real conservative and Mittens is really a Massachusetts moderate. The establishment is scared as hell of Newt so look for their SuperPacs to go scorched Earth in FL against Newt. The core GOP does not like Mittens. They see him as a phony and a product of the northeastern Harvard elite. The corporate establishment loves him though. So we are going to have a HUGE fight between the establishment and the grassroots TeaNuts. Many are saying the establishment will prevail as it always does. Not so fast. Mittens dropped 30 points in a week in SC with far superior organization and money. He thought he had it all wrapped up. Florida is going to be FUN to watch. Again, if Newt can capitalize on his momentum and put together enough money and enough of a groundgame there, it is going to become very, very interesting. I don't dare to predict who will win FL right now.
