Newt is suddenly looking a lot better to voters. He does have a political history of economic growth and a balanced budget. Plus he can handle the media, remains respectful and draws cheers. His past seems less important to voters

He is only able to do that now because the fire isn't currently being directed at him. Newt is benefitting from the smear on Cain and the other guys like Perry getting loaded on as well. If he jumps ahead he will be an easy target
