Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is stepping up his campaign operation in Iowa, but he may face stiff competition in the form of resurgent former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich, who has seen his once-moribund campaign bounce back in the polls in recent weeks, now leads Romney and narrowly trails embattled former pizza mogul Herman Cain in the Hawkeye State. He received an enthusiastic response from the GOP faithful at a Republican Party dinner held over the weekend, and with Cain’s front-runner status in jeopardy due to sexual harassment allegations, Gingrich could become the consensus anti-Romney candidate conservative activists have been waiting for.
“If Cain’s problems do real damage, the next beneficiary is likely to be Gingrich,” GOP consultant Phil Musser told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

He may not be perfect...but he's the only one of the lot on top of everything.
Even if the headline were true, it would just mean that a parade of lying whores is about to be unleashed at Newt.
Romney can go to He//.
Newt Gingrich is not trying to take advantage of Herman Cain’s sliming by the lamestream and this latest Chicago trollop and Gloria All-Red-Commie.
INVFR.
I’ll Never Vote For RINOmney.
EVAH!
The best thing Gingrich can do to help himself — as a candidate, as an American, and as a human being with self-respect — is come to the strong defense of Herman Cain against the lying conspiracy of the media and its professional and contract whores.
I like Newt too..He knows how Washington works and put all the other garbage behind him and he would make a very good president..
Verse for Herman Cain: “Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger” (Job 17:9).
Think the “media” has had a field day with Cain?
Wait’ll they get to Newt. As he closes in on the top spot, that’s when the salvos begin. Watch for Gloria Allred’s next Victim of the Month to be Newt’s second wife.
On top of what? Bailouts via TARP, No Child Left Behind, the Prescription Drugs Boondogle. You can have him!
Stupid headline.
There is no evidence that Cain is fading
except perhaps that the author is of the ilk that believes that if a lie is repeated enough times it becomes the truth.
Besides, Gingrich has verifiable proof of adultery...yet somehow this caries less weight than the highly uncredible accusation against Cain.
Wishful thinking. Cain fades... into the lead?
Ah but that right, just keep screaming the lie and maybe fiction will become fact!
All the candidates better get ready.
If the Democrat political/media machine, with the help of certain GOP Establishment talking heads, can lynch Cain like this, who ever replaces him in the polls will get the same treatment.
My uncle was married when he met my aunt who was 20 years younger. He divorced his wife and they went on to have children and a good marriage. And divorce and mistresses are USUALLY the result of a bad marriage.
In other words, Newt was not and will never be a slut like our infamous No. 9 NY governor or the disgusting Weiner or our famous Whitehouse "I did not" or Mr. Bore himself...Gore.
I want a leader who has enough self control to keep his big ones in his pants....that's not Newt.
Cain is not “fading”.

Defending allegations of someone else is pretty risky. Lotsa folks defended Bubba...Ah...but for a little blue dress.
Cain, last night on TV, said the following:
"As I was sitting there, I had a few of my staff members there with me, and I’m sitting here and they’re watching me — and they could see steam coming out of my ears.
"And the feelings that you have when you know that all of this is totally fabricated — you go from anger, then you get disgusted, you try to control yourself to make sure you watch this thing all the way through it. And I was listening very closely, and then when it was all over with, I said, ‘Well I know what we’ve got to do.’
“Because there’s not an ounce of truth in all of these accusations, and my team is putting this stuff together. That’s why I’m willing to do a press conference tomorrow to set the record straight.”
Gingrich “narrowly trails” Cain....by 13 points in latest Iowa poll. But Gingrich “beats Romney”....by 2 whole points?
Nice propaganda they got going here.
