Okay, everyone should know, New York Mayor Bloomberg is of the 1%. No doubt there. A Rockefeller Republican, not in any sense a Tea Party advocate. When the "Occupy Wall Street" movement started he was not energized. He'd already been there, done that. Look at his headlining and reporting, here, carried all the way on the other coast, here.
Gingrich 46-State Strategy Doesn't Reflect Reality of Resources

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Newt Gingrich’s campaign distributed blue signs to supporters that read “46 States to Go” before he took the stage the night of his loss to Mitt Romney in Florida’s Republican presidential primary this week.
The slogan underscores that just four states have voted in the nomination race. It also doesn’t square with the reality of a Gingrich campaign lacking the money and organization to effectively compete in all the upcoming contests.
“It was reminiscent of ‘Baghdad Bob’ touting the invincibility of the Iraqi Army during the fall of Baghdad,” said Tim Miller, an aide to the now-defunct campaign of Jon Huntsman Jr., referring to the information minister for dictator Saddam Hussein.
“The reality is Newt hasn’t learned from his past mistakes, and he’s completely unwilling to run the type of disciplined campaign necessary to win,” said Miller, whose former boss endorsed Romney after exiting the Republican race on Jan. 16.
And no photo. The one in the screen capture seems to suggest resolute intent, and was not carried in Bloomberg reporting.
There seems a divide at play. The top of the establishment 1%, like Romney and Bloomberg, seem against the nouveau 1%, like Gingrich. Fear may be that things could even reach into the low 2%, like that Santorum fellow.
At least that one pushy woman with the faith healer husband, what's her name, has left to go back home to Iowa...
