"Gingrich didn't have a game-changing moment in Wednesday night's Arizona debate,...
Per commentaries on CNN and FoxNews, the AZ debate may have been the final one for the GOP Primary season. If true, unless Gingrich's poll numbers shoot through the roof, he isn't going to get the nomination.
As of yesterday, his polling seemed to stay about the same.
The ole saying, a week can be a lifetime in politics, could be true. Any of the candidates could experience an Allen macaca moment, a Muskie teardrop, a Deaniac scream and see his presidential aspirations end.
Gingrich probably won the AZ debate, and Romney did not lose any ground, but Gingrich didn't really gain from the win. He has won one state. He continues to show 3rd or 4th in the primaries. Unless he can win at last one state before SuperTuesday or have a blow-out [unlikely] on SuperTuesday, Gingrich has become the hucka-hanger-on. And that may be the position he wants -- to try to be king maker going into the convention.

Looking at the Polling trends, they always lag about 3 days to a week, before any new trend is obvious. We need to wait about a week on this one, since there is much more happening on the news. Newt is also using his ability to his advantage,to get the public listening to his ideas and plans. He is getting headlines for his criticism of Obama, and now this analysis for why Oil Prices are spiking so rapidly.
And more importantly, Newt's recent analysis is also, not just rhetoric, it is well said, extremely accurate and spoken in a way to connect with average Americans, in a language they easily relate to.
