Life, much like that of the science that dictates basic physical principles, apparently is a cruel mistress. Going into the final 24 hours before the Florida primary, Newt Gingrich has now fallen a total of 8.3% in six days and now trails Mitt Romney by 11.5% in polling. If things stay on track, Romney is on track to check Florida off from his list and head in to Super Tuesday on top.

After enjoying a few days of increasing poll numbers in the wake of a major victory in South Carolina, Newt Gingrich falls behind Mitt Romney for the first time in Florida.

Going into tonight’s debate, Gingrich has suffered an all out assault on his character and platform from all sides, setting up what should be another hot and heavy debate. (..with clapping.)
