I called him a sore loser, and Jonathan Tobin elaborated the point . Now here’s Victor Davis Hanson, ” Gingrich’s Speech — How to Make a Bad Night Worse ” (via Memeorandum ): Gingrich should carefully play a tape of his post–Nevada caucus performance, and then he would quickly grasp that it was little more than a litany of excuses, whining, and accusations — characterized by stream-of-conscious confessionals and rambling repetitions. And, I think, will hurt him more than anything yet in the campaign. And see Freedom’s Lighthouse, ” Newt Gingrich Slams Mitt Romney as “Fundamentally Dishonest” in Nevada Press Conference; Says He Can be Frontrunner Again by the April 3 Texas Primary – Complete Video 2/4/12 .”

The outcome wasn’t in doubt. I think the question is what’s up with Newt Gingrich? I’m watching his bizarre election-night press conference right now. I’ll have more on that later. Meanwhile, here’s LAT , ” Mitt Romney cruises to win in Nevada caucuses: Win solidifies standing as overwhelming frontrunner “: Reporting from Las Vegas — Mitt Romney romped to a commanding victory Saturday in Nevada’s Republican presidential caucuses, posting a second consecutive win and laying an impressive marker in a battleground state both parties will vigorously contest in November. The strong showing, on top of Romney’s landslide win Tuesday in Florida, boosted his delegate count and enhanced his standing as the overwhelming frontrunner in the fight for the GOP nomination. Trailing far behind were former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who were vying for second place. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who eked out a win in Iowa but has faded since, was a distant fourth. It takes 1,144 delegates to win the nomination and Romney has staked an early lead in that count. But more meaningful was the momentum he gains from strong back-to-back showings, which will carry him forward to the next round of balloting Tuesday in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri. Plus, Lonely Conservative has some comments, ” Romney Takes Nevada ” (via Memeorandum ).

Newt Gingrich speaks to media during a news conference outside the Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012, in Lutz, Fla. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke) Mr. Gingrich said after attending a morning service with 2,000 worshipers at the Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church that he didn’t agree with polls that show him trailing in Florida, and in any case, he’s not bowing out of the race. “I think that the election will be substantially closer than the two polls that came out this morning,” he said, adding that he was eying support for Rick Santorum as potential source of votes in the coming months. “When you add the two conservatives together we clearly beat Romney,” Mr. Gingich said. “I think Romney’s got a very real challenge trying to get a majority at the convention.” Astute Bloggers says meh, ” MORE GRANDIOSITY FROM NEWT: PROMISES 5 MONTH CONTEST FOR NOMINATION .”
