I think Newt has a good chance of getting the GOP nod. He sounds almost as nutty as median GOP primary voters and Romney's arrogance hurts him by making him underestimate his opponents, which is finally starting to hurt him now that he's facing Newt, and he comes across as smug, condescending and arrogant. Mitt can't listen to the other candidates during the debates without smirking. You can get away with smirking at the working stiffs when you're an investment banker chopping a company in to little pieces to sell for scrap, but voters don't tend to like people with smirks glued on their faces. I think I might enjoy watching Republicans reject Mitt yet again after he wastes so much of his own money, even though I think that Newt has a slightly better chance against Obama. If that happens, I think that Mitt is arrogant enough to show up for more punishment in 2016. He could probably buy himself the governorship of Utah, Idaho or Wyoming for what he spends on hairspray; but that's not big enough for Mitt.
