This is enheartening for Romney supporters. We need to stay confident and focused. I believe that Newt's recent advantages are limited to polls in states that are either southern/evangelical (SC, Florida), or just evangelical (Iowa). Mitt should still clean up in states like CA and NY, not to mention NH, NJ, MA, NV, MI, MN, WI, OH, PA, AZ, UT, CO, IN, MO, NE. And since the jury's still out regarding the outcomes in IA, SC and FL, it could be said that this race is either Mitt's to lose (close, prolonged contest following Newt victories in January) or an early run-away for Mitt if he takes either FL, or SC. MSM and Obama surrogates will continue to manipulate bogus "conservatives" into using their talking points to misrepresent Romney. Regardless of this, Mitt will yet have great strength in these state by state contests where he has the organizational advantage, as well as regional "bank accounts" of good will for the support he lent to numerous campaigns for conservative candidates since 2008. Additionally, the longer the primaries play out, more and more opportunities will present for Newt to display his propensity to be an ass. I'm feeling positive.
