Will Newt Gingrich crash again?

After having his campaign collapse last summer then rising dramatically in the polls after Herman Cain’s own collapse and then seeing his poll numbers crash once Ron Paul and Mitt Romney started attacking him, will Newt Gingrich’s campaign crash again? One of the things that helped Newt Gingrich win South Carolina was his natural ability to feel other people’s pain and express those feelings. Because of this, many people love to hear Gingrich speak. However, in the two Florida presidential debates Gingrich didn’t do as well as he had in the South Carolina debates. After the 2nd CNN debate drudgereport.com had an online poll in which only 16% of voters thought Gingrich had won the debate which was far behind Santorum, Paul, and Romney.

One commenter at the Daily Paul noted:

Newt is about to tank hard. This is completely unscientific but have you noticed today’s drudge poll. Newt went from being up there with Ron for first in the last poll to last behind Santorum with only 16.8 % today. I think the onslaught of Gingrich truth that came out yesterday will make people reconsider him as the conservative alternative to Romney.

The more people get educated on the other three the more they will realize they are counterfeits.

Gingrich also may begin to drop significantly in the polls as the news of his request to his second wife to have an open marriage begins to register with Republicans. How can someone support traditional marriage when they themselves have broken their own marriage vows twice already.

Even though he is good at expressing and promoting conservative values, Newt Gingrich has tremendous political and personal baggage. His support of an individual healthcare mandate as well as government bailouts alone should be enough to disqualify him. Conservatives are now beginning to realize that Ron Paul is the best choice for President.
