Sheffield, Iowa (CNN) -- Newt Gingrich will tell you his sudden surge in the polls surprises even him. Well, sort of. He thought it was going to come six weeks from now. Just in time for the Iowa caucuses.

A dead candidate walking just last summer, the former speaker of the House still oozes confidence. He now knows he has a real shot at the GOP nomination.

Yep, we are in the mess because Newt and others didn’t have the balls to finish what they started.

Like Kraut said a bit ago on BOR, until now Newt has not been a threat, thus he has drawn no fire. That will now change, and without even considering the personal stuff, he’s got a lot of ideological baggage.

Let’s see a poll a few days after Romney runs the ad showing Newtie and Cutie (aka Princess Nancy) sitting on the couch telling us about how awful global warming is.

People forget the extremely high negatives Newt had as a Congressman. He has ZERO chance of winning the general election. His personal and political life will be opened up like a peanut at exactly the time it is needed to be.

I just don't see this happening. Not in reality. There's such a blatant attempt to manipulate people away from Cain it's pathetic.

Gingrich is still Gingrich. Good debater, he had his chance years ago. I can't vote for the man at the top of a ticket.

He's "Sideshow Bob" for whoever gets to be "Krusty"...
