Newt: “I’m not dead; I’m still here.”

How can you be dead when you were never alive in the first place?

In other news, Tim Pawlenty is out.

Of course he is.  Now Liberals get to call him “the best of the lot”, projecting some of his past behavior as against the current political climate because it is now safe and he is out of the running.

The fact that the Ames straw poll has the ability to weed out and weed in candidates for coverage and traction is, of course, absurd.  We might as well cover the “buy a kernal of corn poll” for all this thing is worth.

Here are how things are playing in the Ron Paul smothering “Prison Planet” arena”:
Bachmann Rigged Iowa Poll by Buying “At Least” 4000 Votes.

THIS IS THE PROCESS OF THE THING.  You don’t “Rig” this thing — it is a craven exercise to its core.  It is wholly legitimate in the “fund raising” purpose for this “Ames, Iowa Straw Poll”.  Note, for instance, that Ron Paul, the “Second place” contestant, “bused in” his supporters — and the prisonplanet coverage doesn’t raise an eyebrow.

The new questions: will the “Tea Party Contingent” that balks and scowls madly at the claim of Ron Paul as “Grandfather of the Tea Party” firmly back up behind Bachmann now?  The other question — who will pick up Tim Pawlenty’s director?  (Maybe Gingrich?)
