He didn't bank on (pardon the pun) the fact that Newt Gingrich is quick on his feet

What will be going thru the minds of his staff?
Or how about Romney's financial supporters?

(18,115 posts)2. This is amazing. I was waiting for the newest polls from FL.
I am honestly amazed. As Nate Silver said, we may be seeing something unprecedented. It is going to be delicious to see the republican reaction is Newt takes FL, too. It will leave the party with two internally-despised and nasty candidates devouring the entire party.
I am hoping it devolves to a real split, a spin off party. This could be the beginning.

"if Newt Gingrich is able to win the Florida primary, you will see a panic and a meltdown of the Republican establishment that is beyond my ability to articulate in the English language."

and lies so well and with so much fervor and passion that he won't know how to respond.
And, I see that Mittens has hired Michele Bachmann's debate coach. Damn, he really does want to lose this thing, eh?
