Cartoon: Is He "The One" ?Is Newt Gingrich just a temp? Another flash in the pan GOP contender here today gone tomorrow? Time will tell, but current indications are this horse race could be up for grabs with Gingrich, Romney, and now even Paul making a strong charge toward the Iowa Caucus January 3rd, 2012. Even this week of Christmas is a firebox of activity by many candidates (see http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/2011/12/19/iowa-caucus-week-dec-18-24-notes-from-the-campaigns/ for individual candidates plans for the week).
According to www.atlanticwire.com today, there are indications that Gingrich may not be the last man standing in Iowa come January.
"A new poll from Public Policy Polling shows that Ron Paul has taken the lead in the Iowa caucus race, while Newt Gingrich's support is fading fast. A different Gallup poll shows Gringrich still holding the lead, but slipping, while The New York Times has Paul in the lead as well.
Gingrich has seen his numbers in the PPP poll drop from 27 percent to 14 percent in just three weeks, while his favorability rating is now split at 46 percent for to 47 percent against, the worst of any candidate not named Jon Huntsman. That's quite a fall for someone who looked to be running away with the state and taking charge on the national level."
Should be an interesting encore to the holiday activities this year!
