the way things are geared here

is the newt going to be mittens's dragon?  will romney inspire the nation with gingrich's spleen?  since rick perry didn't amount to much of a nemesis, could that miserable fucker gingrich finally be the way that romney proves he's a better man than al gore?  if mitt is able to disembowel gingrich in front of the entire repbulican primary audience, then he could be cementing his victory.  if for some reason newt is too tough to handle, well, then romney's no better than al gore.
