VIDEO: NEWT LICKS WOUNDS ON BACKING SCOZZAFAVA

While Newt says he doesn't blame conservatives for being angry, he seems to fall short of actually accepting responsibility. Instead, he looks to the local Republican leadership while implying they weren't watched closely enough.

When it comes to picking a side in a debate and phrasing the terms of an argument to best make one's point, they don't come much better than Gingrich so his verbiage may satiate some but I'd personally like to have seen him just say five words and move on.

Those words? "I'm sorry. I was wrong."

VIDEO: GINGRICH CHALLENGED AT TEA PARTY

This really was awesome. As the race in New York's 23rd District begins to draw increasing national attention, Gingrich seems to be wiping more and more egg off of his face. In short, the Republican candidate is a far lefty. Her name is Dede Scozzafava and Newt has officially endorsed her.

Newt's problem. The conservative candidate (you know, the guy who should've gotten the nomination) is Doug Hoffman. With news that Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum have endorsed Hoffman, momentum is definitely going his way. Now we learn that Pawlenty may be supporting Hoffman as well. My guess is Santorum learned his lesson when he endorsed Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in the 2004 primary. The result? Santorum loses in 2006 and Specter defects in 2009, leaving both Senate seats in Pennsylvania in control of the Democrats.

It would appear that the paradigm of the old Republicans needs to be tweaked a bit. If Hoffman pulls this off, it will be a HUGE warning shot not only to Democrats but to Republicans as well.

Anyway, Newt's strength is speaking. At a Dallas Town Hall on October 22nd, however, an every day citizen put him in his place as far as I could tell.

VIDEO: RINO CANDIDATE THOROUGHLY EMBARRASSED

In order to set this up properly, all you need to know is the last name of the lady in this video is NOT Hoffman. Actually, Hoffman is the name of the guy she's running against. Her name is Dede Scozzafava and whoever is responsible for setting her up for a press conference outside the office of Doug Hoffman is likely going to be fired.

Then again, what if it was DEDE'S IDEA?

Anyway, quite the controversy is brewing in New York's 23rd District as Scozzafava, the Republican nominee is being exposed for the radical leftist she is thanks to a more educated constituency. Unfortunately, the RNC and established Republican leadership is looking more inept than ever. Gingrich is also on record as endorsing Scozzafava.

Hoffman is the truly conservative candidate running as an independent.

The video is a must-see.
