Romney Stands Still

Newt Gingrich recently this week stated that Romney has hit the ceiling. Although Romney won the Iowa caucus, he won by 8 votes from Santorum and won with only 25% of the vote. Maybe Gingrich is right. He can't break out of the 25%. He always only gets 25%, and that's not enough to win the presidential election. He still doesn't have 3/4 of the entire Republican party; they continue to wander towards any candidate except for Mitt.
Although Gingrich does talk down Romney a bit, he still is stating an inconvenient truth: "How can you take someone seriously who, with that amount of time and money, flattens out at 25 percent?"
The truth is...you can't.
It might be true that Gingrich is retaliating from several of Romney's attack ads, but Gingrich is still acting like a campaigner. He isn't cracking under the pressure, and is rising to the challenge. He's refusing to run similar attack ads on Romney, and would rather win the fair way. This gives me more respect for him, and makes me somewhat tired of Romney.
