Actually, most polls show Gingrich gets a good chunk of the "tea party" vote. The majority of people see the Karl Rove type power players all backing Romney, and doing their best to harm Newt. How many senior republican politicians have been negatice about Newt running? The establishment fears Newt.

I submit that the best thing that could happen in American politics is to somehow get away from the current 24/7/365 election cycle. The day after the election, the runs for the following November start to form.

Best thing we could do is get rid of the letter by people's names. If people had to run on issues vs what party they were in - then the electorate would be more educated on the candidate stances on the issues. It wouldn't be "left vs right", it would be about the issues and the ways to solve them. THAT would be the best thing for this country.
Campaign finance reform would be the next.....
