This Is What Should Greatly Concern Newt Gingrich

This morning on NBC’s ”Meet The Press” Craig Todd said in a few words all that needs to be stated about the fate of Newt Gingrich.  The latest NBC News poll has Mitt Romney ahead 42 percent to 27 percent  heading into the Florida primary.  Rick Santorum and Ron Paul are not even in the ball park according to the poll.  In fact neither of the latter two are even in Florida as I write this post as they have all but given up asking for votes in the Sunshine State.

But the finding in the poll that should deeply trouble Gingrich is the one that Todd points out.

 TODD: …probably down the road. But money was the answer here. They just carpet-bombed Gingrich. And, you know, it was interesting, in our poll that made Gingrich so unelectable to some conservatives that if you factor--if you get rid of the Santorum vote and, and factor in the second choices, Romney’s lead actually grows…

MR. GREGORY: Really.

MR. TODD: …but a point. So this idea that somehow conservatives are splitting the vote, not anymore, they really have made Newt Gingrich not just unelectable, unacceptable.
