Can Newt Gingrich Win Delaware?

Politico’s Ginger Gibson — yes, that Ginger Gibson — writes about Gingrich’s hope, the “dangerous state of Delaware”.Dangerous? Well, we did give the world Christine O’Donnell. And as we covered here, some are calling for the Republicans to get out the vote for Gingrich. Gibson writes:

But even some Romney backers are becoming increasingly concerned that Gingrich could catch them flatfooted and pull out a surprise victory in the state.

“He’s definitely got a chance because there are some people who feel like he really made an attempt to come to Delaware,” said state Sen. Liane Sorenson, a 20-year office holder who endorsed Romney. “There are people who will vote for him for that reason.”

Does Gingrich have a chance? The Christian Science Monitor writes, “And in Delaware, a small state, a few motivated rabblerousers in a low-turnout primary can bring surprising results.” Which is exactly the point. However, with Ron Paul on the ballot as well, how will the Tea Party vote?
