RE:”The move seems to be weeks in the making. After poor showings by Gingrich in the last several races and the re-resurgence of Rick Santorum, the former House speaker has once again been pushed to the back of the Republican field. And Adelson may be shifting his focus. According to CNN, Adelson met with Mitt Romney in Nevada last week and “assured Romney that he will be behind him 100 percent should he become the nominee.”
What may be more alarming though is as money seems to be flooding out of the Gingrich camp, it appears to be heading into to Santorum’s, no doubt helped by his three-state sweep Tuesday”

Is this really surprising? The whole Republican primary has been a game of ABMR/ABBO musical chairs:First Bachmann,then Perry, Cain, Newt (who most on FR ruled out early on last year) and now maybe RS gets his turn.

RS has a big plus now, he is not Romney or Newt. In comparison to them he looks like a pillar of consistent values, agree with them or not. Newt's sore loser speech after the FLA loss was a flag that many Republicans voters saw and will remember. That is the real Newt.

I thought his FL speech was pretty good. But the not congratulating the winner thing was a tactical error, he did not need to create that story.
