I call it the Honeymoon Glow, because there is simply no way Newton Leroy Gingrich is more competitive against President Obama than Mitt Romney, but that is what a new McClatchy-Marist poll finds. Obama leads Gingrich by just two points, 47% to 45%. Mitt Romney is next closest, trailing Obama by 4 points, 49% to 44%. Ron Paul is the third best bet for the Republicans right now, 8 points back from Obama, 49% to 41%. No other Republican is within single digits of the president. You know, I hope Ron Paul gets his flavor of the month chance. I doubt it though.

Priceless.
