How Seriously Should We Take Gingrich?:
Not very, according to Alex Massie. Jonathan Bernstein agrees. Even if Newt won't win the nomination, Steven Kornacki thinks the Gingrich boomlet matters:
[H]is surge is still significant, if only because it makes it harder for any other candidate to claim the default non-Romney role that they’ve all been scrambling for. This is probably a development the Romney campaign welcomes; they probably figure that Newt, with his self-destructive tendencies and lack of a real campaign organization and meaningful establishment support, would be easy to marginalize if he’s their main rival once the primaries and caucuses actually start.
