Actually, I think this may a good thing for Newt, Santorum is scorching romney effectively, Newt can stand by and watch the destruction take place without looking ‘negative’.
It’s the ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ scenario. Newt can then pick the best time to surge to finish line.
JMO.
We have 24 days until Super Tuesday. And we have seen in this race how opinions can shift on a dime. Millions of dollars in negative ads, poor or outstanding debate performances, so many things shift people's opinions. Why is that? Each candidate has a committed base of support. The rest of the electorate are shifting back and forth because they are desperate to have Obama gone and they are vacillating on which one will be the right one to do it. I would love to see if the polls asked how committed they were to their choice.
I have posted this before and I will keep posting it. We have a LONG way to go. Info from Real Clear Politics:

This is a time for sticking to our own convictions about who has the best solutions for our country. Why are we being yanked around by Polls, most of which are rigged and meaningless? This is not the time to go “all wobbly”.
Things may look very different after the Arizona debate on Feb.22nd. Stop listening to the polls and listen to what the candidates are proposing to do. So far, I’ve only heard one candidate give specifics, and I’m sticking with him.
