Cripes, given the polling history of the last few months, in four weeks Newt could be right back down in single digits. Nothing is inevitable at this point.
I think Newt is the wrong answer at this point to the question Who is the best choice for anti-Romney - for the conservative reasons I have given. I feel no compunction to pretend otherwise. If Newt emerges as the lead anti-Romney after a three or four caucuses and primaries, I will support him over Mitt. But that point has not been reached yet.
