Our dear friend Nate at 538 is suggesting that Newt is starting to flag already .... which is really a bummer because I'd like nothing more than to see a nail-biter in FL that would keep the popcorn popping. But it just may not be .... come below for the details.

Polls Suggest Gingrich’s Support May Have Peaked
By NATE SILVER
Polling released within the past 24 hours suggests that Mitt Romney may have stopped and possibly reversed Newt Gingrich’s momentum before the Florida primary on Tuesday.
Nate goes on to indicate that the computer models still predict Newt on top, but "pattern recognition" tells a different story...
Nate has a nice graph that demonstrates a rising tide of Newt up to and just after SC, but now a downward trend ....
However, it looks as though Mr. Gingrich’s surge may have reached its apogee over the weekend — timed perfectly for his big win in South Carolina, but not necessarily for one in Florida next week.
All the details are over at Nate's Place It's a good read, if not a bit depressing due to the possible second falling of Newt.
