When you follow the money and look at who is endorsing him, you can clearly see that Romney is the establishment candidate. I agree that it is ridiculous for a former Speaker of the House and lobbyist to call himself "anti-establishment," but there only is one establishment candidate and it isn't Newt. When your getting outspent the way Gingrich is by Romney, calling yourself "anti-establishment" is an easy way to close the gap that the money is creating.

As in, "Yes, this is hilarious because (we) DO say these things." Not everybody takes themselves so bloody seriously. No sense of (self-deprecating) humor in this generation!
