The market is sensing the divisions within GOP and the difficulties Gingrich would face taking on Obama.  After all whether or not one agrees with all the baggage Gingrich brings to the table, the media and campaign managers will have a field day with this nonsense. All of which is clearly giving Democrats an edge.
