“Mr. Newt can think on his feet like no one else”

That is part of his problem. He spouts off stuff that borders on the ludicrous. Like his amnesty proposals (for grandmothers); $2.50 gas in two years as he told Chris Wallace on FoxNews Sunday as if world energy markets and regional geo-political conditions will have no impact on the price of oil, and then this piece of insanity of establishing permanent lunar based colonies within eight years at a time of exploding trillion dollar budget deficits and a national debt topping $16T. No wonder Gingrich has been described as a “Hindenberg sure to explode” that will give Obama and the media a field day.

But most important is that Gingrich at this point in the race is unfortunately opening up a ever widening gender gap with un-favorabilty ratings that are falling through the cellar. Santorum as the polls confirm will connect with blue-collar votes, win back the Reagan Democrats and will turn in some Rust-Belt states into the Republican column. Unlike Gingrich, Santorum doesn’t project himself as a tired-looking and limp warrior. We saw Gingrich have that deer caught in the headlights look in the pre-Florida debates. Romney went after Gingrich like a Bengal tiger and oh my! Didn’t Gingrich get mauled. The result, Gingrich got decimated in the FL primary losing every major demographic to Romney.
