We probably need to wait until mid-December to know whether Newt’s surge is real or just another boom and bust. But it seems different; it feels different. That’s not much to go on. But we do have some evidence that it is different.
I so hope he's right.

Just a few short days ago Gingrich was polling in the single digits. His campaign was spending more money at stores on Fifth Ave. for his third wife than on campaign costs. Now after weeks of GOP voters testing out anyone else but Mitt Romney to be their nominee, it looks like Newt Gingrich is all that's left.
I'm comfortable with President Obama facing any of the current crop of GOP candidates and beating them. I think his hardest race would be Romney simply because I know once the primary is over Mitt will try his best to return to his moderate self. Beating a guy that himself enacted an individual insurance mandate while governor and who believes God lives on Planet Kolob shouldn't be that difficult, however. It won't be easy, just not that difficult.
There was never any chance Bachmann, Ron Paul, Santorum, Huntsman or Herman Cain would have ever won the nomination so commenting on them is pointless. Oprah has a better chance at being the Republican nominee than any of them.
But I can't think of anything better than Newt Gingrich winning the nomination. Seriously, why don't Republicans just run Bob Dole again or McCain? Better yet, George H. W. Bush still has 4 more years of eligibility left. Why not just draft him? Now if only the Dems could pickup about 30 house seats, I'd feel a lot better off.
