A 23 point gain in three days, while starting with a majority.  Wow.

Epic. Gingrich should be in second again soon.

Gingrich might be the Whack-a-Mole of this campaign.

Gingrich might be the Whack-a-Mole of this campaign.

Might be?  He's already set the new gold standard.

I thing he has to pop out of the hole at least once more.

This thread should be stickied.

This thread should be stickied.

no, it should probably be closed as soon as Gingrich and Santorum drop out, and we can open a general election edition.

Why couldn't we use this as the GE edition?

Pre-Super Tuesday update: Gingrich now back up to 2nd place as Santorum sinks further.

I wonder if Romney can win LA, it should be more favorable terrain for him than AL or MS were...

I've been speculating about the "hat trick,"  PR, IL, LA. 

I think LA is possible.  For a southern state, it has a fairly large Catholic population, 28%; white Evangelicals are at 31%.

Romney    93.3% 

Santorum  1.0%

Paul          1.1%

Gingrich    0.3%
