Newt with the big mo', but has taken a kidney punch from the ex.

Romney having floundered in the last debate now has to show that he has the strength to stand these attacks.

Gingrich has constantly been making attacks on Romney, "I'm the better candidate because Gov. Romney..."

Romney doesn't make the same case. He just talks about himself and Obama.

Can Romney get in a bare-knuckled fight and win? Or is he just going to choke again? Play it safe.

If he can't show he's a better leader than Gingrich, well, I guess he doesn't deserve to be the nominee.
