“Weren’t you saying the same thing over 2 months ago?”
No. 2 months ago Newt was polling at 2% in Florida.
And no, Newt’s rise hasn’t been steady. He jumped 20 points in 2 weeks in just about every poll.
His surge was created artificially by 2 weeks of incessant Cain bashing by the media. The problem for Newt is that the charges against Cain are mostly bogus and if adultery disqualifies Cain then Newt is a dead man walking.

No, it’s been created by Cain’s impotence in properly addressing increasing bimbo eruptions along with his ever present “deer in the headlight” moments during interviews.
That in combination with Newt’s consistently excellent debate performances give you this result.
I like Cain but nobody will ever accuse him of being “the smartest guy in the room”.
I have watched this very closely, so you won't convince me that your claim is even close to valid. I also have countless polling results that prove that Gingrich's rise has not just been in the last 2 weeks or sudden.
