He may not be establishment as being on the ins with the GOP leadership, but he’s as insider as insider gets; Congressman, former Speaker (disgraced), lobbyist. Newt’s a DC creature for the past 30 years. There’s nothing outsider/grass-roots about him. The spin is mind-boggling, but this is due to the TP looking to glom on to any candidate other than Romney (ABM).
