Rising Hegemon
With the dizzying fall of Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich has stepped into the breach and now stands alone as the most popular GOP presidential candidate in The Des Moines Register’s new Iowa Poll. Gingrich, with support of 25 percent of likely Republican caucusgoers, is seven points ahead of the rising Ron Paul, who’s at 18 percent. Mitt Romney drops to third, at 16percent, denting his previously armor-plated Iowa polling average. Romney’s support stood at 22 percent last month. Cain, who suspended his campaign Saturday, had plunged from 23 percent to 8 percent in just over a month, tied with Michele Bachmann.One could theorize that is because "Iowans don't like phonies" until you spent a millisecond realizing that all of them are phonies and Gingrich is the unabashed King.
The Obama Administration probably thinks that politically this is the equivalent of a dozen straight months of 400,000 plus added jobs in the jobs report. And sadly, for a few of them, I don't thing that is just sarcasm.
