One week ago, Mitt Romney amassed a record 23-point lead in Gallup tracking polls. But in the latest poll released Monday, the former Massachusetts governor’s advantage has evaporated to a single percentage point among Republican-leaning registered voters. Romney now stands at 29 percent to Gingrich’s 28 percent.

I’m trying not to get too excited before I have a chance to analyze Romney’s new campaign tactics during tonight’s debate, but...wow, you’re making this difficult. I honestly didn’t think it would be so easy to shatter the “electability” myth.
WOO-HOO!
You called it, Jim, “Rebellion is ON.”
Yup. I saw it.
I hope to God that we are aseeing a full blown romneygeddon!
Perhaps there is hope afterall...
I shoulda asked to be Pinglisted a long time ago.... :)
If zero refuses, Mr. Gingrich will most likely roll tape of zero's latest bull, then refute it, for 90 minutes.
At first no one will watch because the LSM will not carry it.
Then as it spreads, even the LSM will be forced to play clips until it becomes the thing catch on the tube.
At that time zero will be unable to dig his way out, even with good lighting, professional makeup artists, favorable questions, and static broadcast during Mr. Gingrich's replies.
Jim , can you please pout me on the ping list.
Butt Mitt is “Electable(WHINIEST VOICE)”!
Beware the fury of a patient man... and a patient nation.
The National polls are always about a week or more behind the faster, State primary polls. Romney is headed back to his usual 24%, while Santorum will soon run out of money and support, especially since he does not have the money or the organization to get in on the other states. He can't go much longer. We will soon see Santorum in single digits again before the week is done.
Which leaves Newt to go into steady 40% territory again and stay there. With the debates getting better and sharing record numbers of people watching, Newt will shine brightly in the hearts and minds of the hungry electorate. And I dare the MSM and Romney to try attack Newt on stage again. Romney will do his usual cowardly approach and stab Newt in the back again, but the electorate will not like him for it.
GO NEWT!
Was just watching Cavuto and his guests attacking Newt and preaching how he can’t win a national election. What is it with these morons, that they just don’t get it? Newt won S.C. on electability. They said women would be turned off to him and he won the women’s vote (granted it was a Republican election). I am totally confident Newt will win over independents and some democrats, not to mention Republicans will enthusiastically turn out for him.
Exactly! All Newt has to do is play select zero youtubes, and respond to those!
Zero, did you want to fail in absentia or live?
We should remember that some of our younger members may not have been around or paying attention when that was going on, and think he’s just bragging or trying to take credit like Gore for the internet but... Newt Gingrich was the FACE of the Contract For America movement. It was HIS BABY and with it, the Republicans SWEPT the House of Representatives, and if I’m not mistaken, maintained control for 12 years, until 2006.
I’ve thought G was a terribly effective politician, a special one. I thought Clinton vs. Gingrich in 1996 would have been the fight of the century, but it didn’t happen. So, I’m surprised to see him there now, but early on, before he announced, I had a feeling that if he got in there he would have a plan to get the nom and that he would be very difficult to beat.
RINOS can run, but they can’t hide.
WHOO-HOOO (DOUBLE-DOUBLE!)
Just stunning ..I am thrilled.
GO NEWT!
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
In fact, why wait, Newt? Start debating youtubes of zero in your ads! Take it to the street!
