National Review Online is going after Newt. There’s a devastating statement by former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole – and here (on the left) is the poll on their homepage. Bill Buckley, the late NR publisher, conservative deity and very definition of the elite Ivy League northeasterner of whom Newt is so contemptuous (actually I think he’s really jealous), would likely approve.
The piling on is getting serious now. Newt could yet win in Florida, but his time in the sun is running out.
From Dole’s statement:
. . . it is now time to take a stand before it is too late. If Gingrich is the nominee it will have an adverse impact on Republican candidates running for county, state, and federal offices. Hardly anyone who served with Newt in Congress has endorsed him and that fact speaks for itself.
. . . Gingrich [as] nominee could result in a landslide victory for Obama and a crushing defeat for Republicans from the courthouse to the White House.
You can have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, or democracy. But you cannot have both.
Whatever Works 
I think that the wave resistence to Newt may just make him more attractive to the voters he attracks. He’s more the outsider depite being a former speaker of the house.
No one excites me, but I’ll likely vote for Obama again. I don’t think we need an angery President, and that’s what Newts seems like he’d be.

Hi bruce – nice to see you.
You’re right that the voters are angry and that’s what attracts voters to Newt. It’s very emotionally satisfying. But his act will wear thin. Very thin. He’s morally corrupt and won’t be able to hide behind the anger much longer.
