First Thoughts: The race is on

Newt Gingrich's 12-point victory last night in South Carolina capped an extraordinary week in politics that taught us three things: 1) the GOP presidential race isn’t over; 2) Mitt Romney hasn’t closed the deal with conservative voters; and 3) this contest can change in the blink of an eye. Indeed, a week ago, it appeared that Romney was cruising to a win in the Palmetto State, that he was about to go 3-for-3 in the first three contests, and that conservatives and Republicans were beginning to unite around him. But as it turns out, Romney decisively lost South Carolina, he’s now 1-and-2 in the first three contests (after discovering he lost Iowa, too), and conservatives and Republicans -- according to last night’s exit polls -- are nowhere close to rallying around him. And now we move to Florida, where Romney has the ability to bounce back or where Gingrich can further upend this contest.
