“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

I’m wrong at least half the time, at least when it comes to Newt Gingrich. I’ve left him for dead on this blog for a solid six months, but the guy keeps coming, like a figure out of “Night of the Living Dead” as I see it. 

So here’s my last prediction on Newt.  If I’m wrong, I’ll shut my trap about him:  Mitt Romney wins Florida by more than five points on Tuesday and goes on to win every caucus until the February 28 Michigan Primary, which he also wins. By March, Mitt Romney will be the  effective nominee and Newt Gingrich will have lost all momentum.

Make me a fool again, Newt, and I’ll fall in line. Or at least I’ll try to.
