2. A little too early to break out the champagne

While Newtie has some negatives even within his own party, I predict that he'll overcome them if he's on a clear path to the nomination.

If he wins Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida, then comes in a close second in New Hampshire, I just don't see anything stopping him. Not even his big fat mouth. Or that Stepford Wife wannabe with the crazy kooky smile, and the Tiffany jewelry.

I've long hoped for a brokered convention where Paul has 15-20% of the delegates, and Mitt and the Anti-Romney each have nearly equal shares of the balance. A rousing fight in Tampa would leave the Repukes badly bloodied, and quite distrustful of each other going into the general. If Newtered has the thing pretty much in the bag by the end of February, that's a lot of time to coalesce around his smarmy ass.
