In two weeks Romney went from 12 back to 16 up.... a 28 point swing. Clearly he has the momentum now. However, being the complete idiot he is, he could blow it again by making more stupid comments about trees, flowers, frogs, whatever. The next few days prior to Super Tuesday should be interesting.

All of the Republican also-rans had their moment in the spotlight and when the voters saw how flat out crazy they were they ran away screaming and all they had left was Mittens.

National polling hasn't really meant all that much so far.

It's like watching tennis on television, it just makes you want to turn it off (or use a sledgehammer).
