Ping!
True, although it remains to be seen who the last non-Romney standing will be...
Next debate is when, Saturday?
GO NEWT!
Romney needs a whacking!

Ships passing in the night.
Santorum continues to surge nationally, Newt continues his steady decline.
8% is a surge?
If Perry can’t do better than 6%, he’s technically ineligible for the upcoming debates due to his pathetic performance in Iowa..
I can’t believe the republican party generally wants a RINO..
You know another Juan McLaim...
If it does they will get one.. and they will deserve one..
Zerodamus versus Willard the good friend of Ted Kennedy is depressing..
“Romney needs a whacking!”
I think he’s gonna be sorry as hell he made Newt mad. And Newt is REAL mad.
Your tagline says it all.
I think he was referring to the blue serge sweater-vest that Ricky just bought.
This is hysterical. You describe Santorum's move as a "surge" (LOL), while Newt's is a "steady decline". The point change between the two (Santorum: 4 to 8 and Newt: 26 to 22) is nearly identical. However, Newt's decline is in the range of a sampling error and Santorum has yet to eclipse single digits. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
“8% is a surge?”
This is a 5-day rolling average.
The Santosurge is real and it’s happening everywhere.
Barf Alert: John McCain just endorsed Romney. Anyone surprised?
Actually, the whole Santorum thing is a real surprise.
Really, he is the most attractive to social conservatives.
Never flip-flopped on the social issues.
Bachmann is out, her supporters will go Santorum.
Guess Romney will get it at the end of the day.
That’s where the $$$ is.
But it’s going to be a free for all for a few more weeks.
Perry surprises staff, stays in race
By: Jonathan Martin

Surprising some members of his own staff, Rick Perry announced via Twitter on Wednesday morning that he will stay in the GOP presidential race despite a disappointing finish in Iowa.
And the next leg of the marathon is the Palmetto State Here we come South Carolina!!! Perry tweeted just after 11 a.m. EST from his personal account, linking to a picture of him in Texas A&M jogging shorts giving a thumbs-up.
Perry campaign manager Joe Allbaugh confirmed to POLITICO that the governor is going forward.
Staying, Allbaugh wrote in an email when asked whether Perry is remaining in the race.
A source close to Perry said the Texas governor decided to make a stand in South Carolina because he is not a quitter and really is the only true conservative in the race.
Records matter; start comparing, the source said.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said Perry would stay in Texas until Friday, at which point hell head to New Hampshire and participate in the two debates there this weekend. The candidate will then go to South Carolina.
Perrys decision to campaign in South Carolina is a major blow to Rick Santorums hopes of consolidating conservatives behind his candidacy. If Perry and Newt Gingrich are still in the GOP race when it heads south on Jan. 21, the base will likely be divided among conservatives.
lots of upside potential for Santorum
Run Forest, run.....
“I cant believe the republican party generally wants a RINO”
Lot’s of money by keeping the status quo for RINOs.
“The point change between the two (Santorum: 4 to 8 and Newt: 26 to 22) is nearly identical. However, Newt’s decline is in the range of a sampling error and Santorum has yet to eclipse single digits. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.”
So the title,
“Newt slips, Santorum support doubles nationally” would be inaccurate?
