Newt is in 1st nationally, top three in IA and NH in 90% of the polling, and up double digits in the deciding states of SC & FL — with $10,000,000 (90% raised in the 4th quarter) in the bank for ads there.
McCain finished 4th in IA.
You worry too much.
Get your head out of your Iowass — he leads nationally still. The world does NOT revolve around Iowa. Just short sighted folks in late December and early January every four years.
