Newt is now even or behind Mitt nationally and in most polls in Iowa.

Newty`s rise and fall was even sharper than the 1st three nonmitts.

Will there be more shooting stars or is that stuff over?

Who on the con world could possibly come forward and jump in the race?

I don`t mean jokes like Trump but a real,viable candidate(s)that might have a better chance than Mitt against the president.

"Newt Gingrich acknowledged Saturday that his rival's attacks have taken their toll on his presidential campaign as he's zoomed to be Mitt Romney's chief challenger. Romney predicted that conservative voters will reject Gingrich as they learn more about the former House speaker's lengthy Washington record.

Gingrich cited "the extraordinary negativity of the campaign" in explaining why he was inclined to hold teleconferences with supporters every few days so people can discuss ideas and his campaign can "encourage them to raise any of these things that you get in the mail that are junk and dishonest."

Mitt Romney predicted Saturday that conservative voters will reject GOP presidential rival Newt Gingrich as they learn more about the former House speaker's lengthy Washington record. Gingrich acknowledged to Iowa supporters that attacks have taken their toll as he's risen to be Romney's chief challenger.

Romney campaigned in early voting South Carolina, where tea party activists have given Gingrich a strong lead in polls. Romney told reporters that many voters now are just beginning to pay attention to the race and will turn on Gingrich after they learn about his time in Washington and his role with mortgage company Freddie Mac, a quasi-government agency.

Gingrich's consulting firm collected $1.6 million from the company.

"I think as tea partyers concentrate on that, for instance, they'll say, 'Wow, this really isn't the guy that would represent our views,'" Romney said after a town hall meeting with South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott. "Many tea party folks, I believe, are going to find me to be the ideal candidate."

Gingrich, speaking on a conference call from Washington, said the attacks on his record have been brutal, but he insisted they are exaggerated.
