WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Atlanta businessman and former presidential candidate Herman Cain endorsed Newt Gingrich Saturday night at a West Palm Beach Country Republican gathering after two months of wavering on whether he would offer his support to a fellow candidate.
The endorsement comes just three days before the crucial Florida primary, by far the largest state to vote so far in the GOP sweepstakes, and could help Gingrich energize tea party support. Gingrich campaign has flagged since his upstart, double-digit victory over front-runner Mitt Romney in the South Carolina primary a week ago.
I had it in my heart and mind a long time ago to endorse Gingrich, Cain said in a surprise appearance at the dinner. Speaker Gingrich is a patriot, Speaker Gingrich is not afraid of bold ideas, and I also know that Speaker Gingrich is ... going through this sausage grinder. I know what this sausage grinder is all about. I know that hes going through this sausage grinder because he cares about the future of the United States of America.

Cains reference to the sausage grinder is the elite media--including many on FOX news--along with the good ol' boy network--aka the Republican establishment that have circled the wagons around Mitt Romney--to protect the Mr. money bags--campaign donor.
Mitt Romney has been running for President for the last 6 years and during that time he has made many endorsements and has contributed heavily to many of these republicans campaigns. He is calling in all favors now--in an all out assault on Newt Gingrich.
It's clear now that Newt Gingrich has become the tea party candidate--with Sarah Palin--Fred Thompson--Michael and Nancy Reagan--Rich Perry--and now Herman Cain--& others who don't OWE Romney or Romney Pac campaign funds anything.
