Palins refusal to endorse a candidate has left the Tea Party faithful in a quandary.
Palin is going against the Repubic establishment and calling on Romney to explain his conduct at Bain Capital, and to release his tax returns. Palins comments are in contradiction to Rush, the de facto leader of the Party, who chastised all the Repubic candidates after their anti_Romney attacks. Getingrich apologized to Rush for making "over the line" comments.
The pro-Gingrich super PAC Winning Our Future has not backed down from plans to air $3million of ads criticizing Romney and his time at Bain in particular. The group has produced a documnetary demonstrating the change that Bain had on the companies it acquired and the impact on jobs and the companies ultimate survival.
