I think I just threw up a little

The latest Rasmussen national telephone poll has Gingrich at 38%, a 21 point margin over Romney.

I think I need to lie down for a while.

Mind you, Romney has a 10 point advantage in New Hampshire which, arguably is more important. (Yes, early primary states can make a huge difference on the national level. Just ask Howard Dean.)

I was just thinking. All this time, I thought that Romney was a shoo-in for the nomination. But y'know, caucuses aren't an all-or-nothing deal, and even the length of the primary season changes things. When Perry or Cain or whoever drops out, all of the not-Romney voters will change their votes to whoever is leading that isn't Romney. It's going to be interesting to find out who that guy is.

I don't think all of the former {Bachmann|Cain|Huntsman|Santorum|Perry} voters will go "not Romney", though. I think enough of them will go with Romney and make it a two man race between him and Gingrich.

Yes, I hate to say it, but unless he's caught with a male stripper in the next few days, I think he's going to be a frontrunner until New Hampshire and Iowa. (And then we'll see.)
