Sabato's Crystal Ball: The Republican Newt-mare

The 2012 Republican presidential primary battle shifts to Florida, where Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are locked in a tight battle. And, already, Republicans are starting to have visions of a Newt candidacy -- and they don't like what they see. That includes an electoral map that could look quite different -- and much worse for them -- than the one Romney or another Republican might compete on.

"Literally a Category 5 hurricane..." I don't think you know what literally means.

Nevada and CO are looking pretty good for Obama in polls that name Mitt, Obama's got this in the bag I think.

Mitt Romney is the only choice to beat Obama in November!!

That's a nice suggestion, but I wouldn't expect the University of Virginia to be open to considering ideas.

This is BS Mitt Romney would lose to Obama in a landslide. Mitt is doing poorly in many of the most important states and even at his highest polling numbers in Florida they didn't come close to Newts. He is losing MO VA NC GA OH to Newt. 25% of all americans surveyed said they won't vote for Mitt because he's a Mormon and that's before his baggage and the percentages go higher in key states. Newt is way ahead of him. It's Newt or nothing.
