Gingrich is gaining ground with the right wing religious republican primary voter nut cases, and this may be a diaster for the Romney campaign. Mitt is supported by big money but they will throw their support behind the primary winner. If Gingrich dumps Romney in Iowa (he probably will), comes in strong second in New Hampshire (if he doesnt actually tie Romney) and then wins South Carolina and Florida (he probably will) the big question will be finances for Romney. He is rich, but will he throw his own money away in a futile bid for the white house? If Gingrich is the sole survivor, the only viable alternative will be Ron Paul and Rick Santorum - Santorum is nuts, way nuts, not to mention incredibly stupid (he actually has a law degree, that is unexplainable, other than law school must be easier then we think). Ron Paul may be the only alternative to Gingrich, and i think Ron would be a great opponent to Obama. It would be an ideological race, a good policy issues debate race, and 99% dissatisfied with wall street might bond with the tea party and libertarians, and it would be an exciting race. Ron Paul might just win if this happens, if the economy doesnt improve, and Iraq and Afghanistan continue to melt down. I just gave ron paul $50 - does that make me a libertarian? Or just a mischievous political scientist?
