Probably has to do with the poll they've been running showing Romney doing better than Gingrich head to head vs. Obama.

Back to the topic at hand....

Gingrich has been leading nearly every single state poll outside of New Hampshire. But the latest Iowa poll actually has Romney with a two point lead over Gingrich. And Gingrich's numbers on Intrade have dropped dramatically. As recently as a couple days ago, Romney's chances for winning the nomination were around 40% and Gingrich was around 35%. Now, Gingrich has dropped to 15% and Romney is almost at 60%.

That sounds like a good bet on Gringrich. Rogue poll? The previous two had Romney trailing Paul (and Perry in one)

Iowa and NH are so vital for momentum I do not think polls outside of those states matter too much before they take place.  I mean they matter a little bit but not too much.

A good thing Cain's out of the race. I'm not sure he could master the rules.  :P

Perry remembers that there is rock and paper but he can't quite remember the last one.  He thinks it might be EPA.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It said I like Romney and Gingrich the best and Bachman and Paul the least.  I guess that's probably true?
