You are right. Bachmann does seem a lot keener to attack Gingrich than Romney. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes?
Ultimately this is all playing out with the grim inevitability of Greek tragedy. 8 months ago, I (and many others)could have told you that Mitt Romney would be the nominee. Nothing I have seen has dissuaded me from the accuracy of that depressing prediction.
The establishment are preparing to coalesce behind him.
I’m a hopelessly partisan dreamer, quite prepared to face mockery, but Huntsman continues to slowly rise in New Hampshire. Far better him than Mitt Romney. Far better.
The only way we could have avoided the Romney nomination is for fiscal conservatives to have focused on who is best able to turn this country around, and supported that person early on. Too many people are one issue voters and lots of people have not realized that the economy and our ability to survive economically is THE issue. I will continue to support Newt, but I know the GOP has won and America has lost. As a result, our country will continue to deteriorate. I hope this election brings down the GOP.

I thought your man Huntsman did very well last night. Intellectually, he’s equal or better than anyone else on stage. Thoughtful answers. Strong on economic issues. Knowledgable on foreign affairs. Tempermentally, OK, a little dull . . . but not irritating like Bachman or Santorium. . . or goofy like Perry.
He’s not my candidate, but I think he’s better than most of the others.
