It's a little hard to think otherwise at this juncture.
These are the links up currently at Drudge:
NEWT FLASHBACK 1983: REAGAN RESPONSIBLE FOR NATIONAL 'DECAY'...
NEWT 1986: 'The Reagan administration has failed, is failing...
NEWT 1988: 'If Bush runs as continuation of Reaganism he will lose'...
And then there's this from Politico:
After nearly a week on the defensive, CNN's John King reports tonight that Newt Gingrich'sclaim about offering witnesses to ABC News in his defense — to rebut the network's interview with his second wife, Marianne Gingrich — was not true.
"Tonight, after persistent questioning by our staff, the Gingrich campaign concedes now Speaker Gingrich was wrong — both in his debate answer, and in our interview yesterday," King said on tonight's edition of John King USA. "Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage."
Not good people.
Not good at all.
Will Mr. Santorum reap the benefit of Newt's apparent derailment?
God only knows.
God's help is needed.
Because an Obama re-election is beginning to look more and more likely from my corner of the world.
Oh how I hope I'm reading the tea leaves wrongly.

All any Republican nominee has to do to ensure a win come November is this:
Use the facts and only the facts. They don't even have to dig deep to find a huge club with which to beat Obama. Use the man's OWN record, repeatedly.
Because the facts of the past 3 years are enough.

Rick, you obviously missed the all out assault this morning on Drudge. No less than eleven articles pounding Gingrich when the sun came up.
At least Limbaugh had enough presence of mind today to see what was happening and to recognize who was behind it.
Gateway Pundit also posted a good piece later in the day after I had noted it on my blog this morning under "And in the news today."
It is a concerted effort by the GOP party machine and MSM to destroy Gingrich and give their guy Romney the nomination. They have pulled out all the stops including their hired gun pundits like Ann Coulter to try to make the sale to destroy Gingrich.
I am telling you and anyone who cares to listen. right now. Remember where you heard it first. If Romney gets the nomination, Barack Obama gets another four years.
