Michael Barone has written the political obituary of Newt Gingrich, and considering Barone’s status as a political analyst, I think that makes it official. Gingrich is out! Considering my opinion of the man, I should be happy. So why am I not rejoicing?

Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN) – Hours before a major showdown in the battle for the GOP presidential nomination, a new national poll indicates that nearly one in four Republicans say they would most likely support Mitt Romney as their party’s nominee.
According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, the former Massachusetts governor, who’s making his second bid for his party’s presidential nomination, grabbed the support of 24 percent of Republicans and independent voters who lean toward the GOP, with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin at 20 percent, ahead of the rest of the field.

I realize that none of this is final, but I am worrying that I’ll have to hold my nose at the polls again. Not a new observation, of course…
Maybe someone can offer a more cheerful insight on political developments.

Romney Care. Ron Paul is attacking it and raising money for the purpose.

Don’t need an asteroid. Self Destruction is a bit slower, but well underway.
I will NOT vote for Mitt Romney if he is selected by the GOP as it’s presidential candidate.
