"There you are. Newt did a great job defending his positions. We have to keep sending money so he can get his message out and defeat Romney."

Romney committed political hari kari tonight....he stuck a fork in himself!

Iowa will be interesting.

Paul, Gingrich and Perry in that order.

Romney committed political hari kari tonight....he stuck a fork in himself!

I think he will hang in there as long as possible. What else is he going to do? Running for President became his career! He'll lose some support after tonight, but his core voters were with him in 2008 and they are still with him in 2011, and they know that he's a socialist, and they are obviously fine with that. Romney supporters sold their soul to the Devil by supporting him and most will hang in there.

The good news: He has probably ended his chances of pulling in undecideds. What you see right now in the polls with him is what you get - the only thing that will change is he might drop a bit. That clears the way for the others to pick up some votes.
