No Hope for Newt

Isn’t it amazing to see what can happen in a week?  Last week Newt Gingrich was on top of the world after taking South Carolina and he all you could hear from everyone was about the rise of Newt.  He was hailed as the next contender to face off against Obama and it really got people talking.  Next up was Florida and as quickly as Newt had gained momentum he seemed to be losing it.  With advantages in money and organizational stability Mitt Romney was and remains in control.  So everything Newt took away from winning South Carolina seems to be wasted.  Most news outlets aren’t giving Newt any chance against Romney tomorrow.  Polls seem to also be trending heavily against Newt which makes you really wonder if Newt ever really had all the supposed momentum the media put behind him you would think he would be set up for a better run in Florida.  With Florida being much less radically conservative Gingrich who has set himself as the total conservative is struggling against Romney with less overall support.  That being said it doesn’t appear anyone is giving Newt a chance tomorrow and the media seems to be pushing that message.  It’s interesting to think about how large of a role the media has on how people vote and the outcome of the primary.
