Sniffin' Kingmaker

Last Friday I wrote about the absurdity of peple who live thousands of miles away deciding they want to determine who should win the 23rd in New York.

Last night Newt "Are you kidding me, I hafta be the voice of reason?" Gingrich noted the absurdity:

So I say to my many conservative friends who suddenly decided that whether they’re from Minnesota or Alaska or Texas, they know more than the upstate New York Republicans? I don’t think so. And I don’t think it’s a good precedent.

I cannot imagine a scenario wherein letting someone like Sarah Palin look at a map of the USA and decide who she wants to work up into a dither can end well. But what the hell do I know?
