I can't easily cut & paste because it seems to be a scanned document, but it does say they were paying him $25,000 a month as a consultant.

Nice work, if you can get it.

1. This is why Faux and Rove are pushing hard against him

Most of the shit Newtie has pulled is a matter of public record and they expect the Democrats won't shy away from using it...

He has no chance. You want to win the Republican nomination, support from Rove and Fauxxx News is a MUST! If Florida goes for Newt you will see Rove and his hit squad turn up the heat.

2. I wonder if they can make him "spend more time with his family"

He seems like a rogue loose cannon ready to explode.

3. Who is Rove backing?

4. Romney..

Rove knows Romney is the only shot they get this year. He may be a scum sucking pig but he's no fool.

Romney will get the nod and then it will be nothing but attacks on Obama. There will be no mention of Romney's plans, policies, or ideas. Just attacks and lies. Standard Rove operations.

5. Furthermore, if Romney loses (and even Rove probably suspects he will),

his sinking campaign would pull down far fewer Republicans elsewhere than Newt the Nuke would do. They are now in harm-reduction mode.
