Watching a Tire Deflate Slowly

In Nevada, Mitt Romney pulled ahead again of his rivals racing for the finish line in the Nevada caucus today. The sound bites of his stomp speech there made me think of a tire deflating slowly. He has had to use a lot of muscle to bring down Newt Gingrich, and although he is down, he’s not calling it quits. Romney will need to get a knock-out, otherwise Newt will be in Mitt’s hair until June if he keeps to his word.

And, although Mitt Romney seemed tired, Ron Paul showed no signs of tiring as his audience was exuberant and possibly gave him added energy. Rick Santorum was last to finish, but was on television talking about how he is preparing his speech for Inauguration Day. Only guessing, it must be that his strategy is to wait it out for Newt and Mitt to beat each other up so badly they will finish off one another, and then Rick can step in over Ron Paul.
