I didn't think so recently, but check out pollling from below link. I would now say it's a DISTINCT possibility. Gingrich has large leads in Iowa & South Carolina. Romney is literally tied
with Cain in Fla; as Cain further implodes, I think it's safe prediction that Newt will lead in Fla. Romney has current sizeable lead in New Hampshire, but, will that hold ?
Board wags say Newt's "baggage" will sink him for nomination, but, all this stuff has been known for long time now. Barring further revelations, if current trending & Newt's impressive debate perfomances continue, not out of realm of possibility that he could snag the nomination.
All this shows how much conservatives dislike Romney for his flip-flopping, his Mass "heathcare initiative" & regrettably, his Mormon faith.
GOP primary voters seem to be opting for principle over pragmatic electability; BHO currently leads Gingrich by nearly 7% & independents dislike Gingrich; that independent demographic is ESSENTIAL to winning an election.
Will these stats hold, or possibly Newt can narrow & overcome BHO's lead ? OTOH, if Newt cops nomination & public is turned off by his persona, pehaps a repeat of '64 Dem landslide ?
Time will tell.

candidates drop out, most of their supporters will go to Gingrich rather than Romney.
This election season has been quite amusing. We've seen GOP candidate after GOP candidate crash and burn. For many of them, this will affect their longterm careers.
We've learned that Bachmann is retarded, we've learned that Rick Perry is high on mystery drugs, we've learned that Cain fucks around more than Slick Willy, we've learned that there isn't a single issue that Romney won't flip flop on, and we've learned that Gingrich is the world's worse hypocrite.
What does that leave? Jon Huntsman?
The GOP are left with deciding to pick a candidate, any candidate, that's a fucking clown. I haven't laughed this hard since Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face.
....Republicans had any sense at all, Huntsman would be the ideal candidate to BEAT Obama in the General election.
Newt is a flip-flop too and it's not secret he is too corrupt to take the highest trust as POTUS.~Madison~

take a good look at what we've got now! Never thought I'd live to see JC beat out as the worst prez ever.
what's so sad is the 'lost generation' having to deal with the negativity of the future! credit Big "O" with leaving us all with such a depressing outlook on the future...if we're lucky 10 years from now we might be breaking even. Disaster hit us in jan '09.
The unwelcomed return of one of the Board's true ignoramuses. Excuse me while I vomit.
