Newt Gingrich's fortunes on the prediction betting website InTrade have collapsed in the past three days, amid an unrelenting assault from all sides in the Republican field.
After pushing close to 40 percent on the site, he's down to a 16.5 percent chance of winning the nomination. Mitt Romney, who fell as low as 42 percent on the site last week, is back up to 64 percent.
The radical swing is a reflection of the growing unease on all sides about Gingrich's viability as the nominee - and recent polling showing that Gingrich's rise to the top in Iowa was just a blip.

In my case voting for Romney would violate my ethical and moral beliefs. I cannot support an anti-life, anti-gun candidate. (The 2 are similar: one is the preservation of life, and the 2nd is the defense of life.)
Anyone, with the exception of Ron Paul would be better than Obama.
Both Paul and Obama hate Israel and evidently want it destroyed. That makes them equally devilish.
I like Mitt Romney, and he did the best he could in Mass. with an 85% Dem. legislation.
I do not trust Romney, therefore I must not like him. He did the worst he could as a supposed republican. Go here to The Mitt Romney Report
At least, he has been married to the same women for 45 years, and has wonderful family.
So has Obama, Clinton, and that has not stopped their being socialists.
Newt on the other hand was demeaning to Bachman,
No he wasn't. He said her facts about him were wrong. They were.
and I think he can’t be trusted on any position.
Newt has always governed as a conservative and has always talked openly about ideas.
Romney has changed his positions as he got older, just like we all have.
Romney has always governed as a liberal, and talks to suit the audience.
Newt changes his mind every minute.
Gingrich has always governed as a conservative.
I don’t think women are going to like Newt, when they hear about how he treated his former wives.
His daughters say his wife asked for the divorce, that she did not have cancer, and that she is not dead.
I don’t like Newt, but I will vote for him, if I have to.

LOL!
That’s much better. The first one looked like you were arguing with yourself.
“F.R. members are maybe 98% against Milt but F.R. members are a miniscule percentage of the voting population.”
And usually not representative of the country or the whole center-right side of politics, either.
More prone to following the latest fad; Palin, Cain, etc.
Oh, yes, introductions given before keynote speeches are always full of constructive criticism!
I’ll vote Constitution Party if Romney is the nominee.
Well I guess SOMEONE must be supporting Romney.
That someone will never, not ever be me.
Romney sucks, sorry but if He’s the nominee (and realistically) 2 weeks out Bachmann doesn’t have a chance (and Perry is progressive also), then Newt is the only choice.
Well I guess we no who’s supporting a loser.
Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.
This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.
I don’t understand. Was I impolite to you?
