Romney bets on old rules as Newt moves under radar

Michael Barone, Washington Examiner

quotes:
  • Under the old rules, then, Romney seems to have constructed an impregnable fire wall in New Hampshire, able to withstand the surge -- McBride calls it a "bubble" -- for Newt Gingrich that has been sweeping much of the country.
  • Mitt Romney is betting, and betting more than the $10,000 he offered to bet in last Saturday's debate, that Rath is right -- and that the old rules still apply.
Comment:

Maybe more than old rules v. new rules going on here.  Maybe there's a schism developing in the ranks that threatens to grow into a chasm.   Any victory may become a Pyrrhic one, so a bit of caution is warranted.
