The latest Gallup Poll puts Newt Gingrich in the national lead for the GOP nomination:
Of course, there is no national primary, but this metric does substantially underscore Gingrich’s rise within the pool.
It does appear pretty clear that Cain’s supporters are going to Gingrich.
Romney’s boring steadiness continues.

I hope someone beyone the usual Beltway suspects writes a book about this GOP primary season because it’s an absolutely fascinating story. You’ve got the Not Romney factor, Perry’s faceplant, Cain’s explosion paving the way for Newt’s revival, the incredibly wrong-headed establishment attention given to Pawlenty and Hunstman, the Palin and Trump teases, Santorum’s thought provoking irrelevancy and more.
