I wasn't expecting Gingrich's collapse to start this soon.

Me either, but it looks like that's what's happening.

Can he reverse the trend unlike the other anti-Romney's?

His depravity is well-documented.  Didn't have to dig up any Cain-esque bimbos, they're all listed out on Wikipedia already.

He's had a shelf life 50% longer than the other ABRs (6 v. 4 weeks) but political gravity is now reasserting itself. Once the spotlight started being trained on him plus attacks from all corners- the Establishment and TP punditocracy (Will/Kraut/Goldberg/Coulter/Savage), fellow candidates, people he's attacked (Paul Ryan), it all started to add up. Gingrich doesn't have the resources for a counterattack either.

We are going to have a looong primary. If Paul gains traction there is also a possibility of a brokered convention.

While I strongly doubt it will happen, a brokered convention that lets the Republicans nominate someone who skipped the primaries is the only way for the GOP to get a canadidate that has at least an even chance against Obama.

Pretty much.

Plus, that'd be rather interesting, to see some dark horse or somesuch nominated.
