Most seem to be supporting him because "he seems smart in the debates." They are being played. They have no idea who the real Gingrich is.
The Establishment is ecstatically declaring that it's a two man race between Romney and Gingrich. They would be happy with either candidate because both are deeply ingrained in the corrupt political system.
What a contrast between their gleeful acceptance of Newt and what they said about Cain when he was in the lead.
They said Cain couldn't possibly win because he didn't have enough money and wasn't organized in Iowa and there wasn't enough time for him to catch up. Gingrich has all those problems and more, but this time the Establishment is cheering him on, happy as pie that they now have an insider as a front-runner.
