I don't have a dog in this fight, but...

The Democratic National Committee seems to believe that Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate.
The DNC have started an ad campaign on this assumption.
There is a short (40 sec) ad that gives the flavor of the anti-Mitt campaign,
and then gives a link to their longer (4 min) ad, below:




ETA: Sorry for the edit, my copy/paste went astray

And besides all that:

The DNC should be careful what they wish for... they may get it.

Newt Gingrich is not, by any means, out of the running (yet).
The endorsement below is important in the New Hampshire primary.

New Hampshire Union Leader endorses Gingrich

This newspaper endorses Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary.

<snip>
We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership
that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing. He did so with the Contract with America.
He did it in bringing in the first Republican House in 40 years and by forging balanced budgets
and even a surplus despite the political challenge of dealing with a Democratic President.

A lot of candidates say they're going to improve Washington.
Newt Gingrich has actually done that, and in this race he offers the best shot of doing it again.<snip>

Truth be known, many in the liberal media are belittling the Republican candidates
because they don't want any of them to be taken as a serious challenger to their man, Obama.<snip>

Newt Gingrich is by no means the perfect candidate.
But Republican primary voters too often make the mistake of preferring
an unattainable ideal to the best candidate who is actually running.
