bret: is there this momentum for newt gingrich do you think? south carolina? well, a little bit. there was poll today that shows he narrowed the gap to ten points behind romney, but my goodness, newt gingrich is really going over the top. unendingly dirty and dishonest, trying to buy the election. that relate rick is s rhetoric t rhetoric is still over the top. there is still time, 76 hours left for newt to shoot himself in the foot again before the people start voting. it makes no sense. he did so well at the debate on presenting vision. making arguments and not attacking romney or even obama. but making conservative case. he does that in a way that nobody in the field can match. yet, here he is, again lack of discipline. he gets off on this tirade against romney that can only hurt him. that is the new negative newt. they were two newts. he knows which one works. i m surprised he can t control
