Excellent news for Mitt (really)

Ron Paul Is Now the Republican Frontrunner

If we go into the caucuses with Paul as the crazy candidate of choice and Gingrich on the wane, it's entirely plausible that Mitt can show relatively well as a "second choice" candidate. The theory being that since all of the crazy candidates are now past their moments, most caucusers who are denied the one crazy candidate they choose first won't just grab the next crazy available but will shrug and go to Mitt. Even if many do go for Crazy #2 it's difficult to imagine there being much consensus on who that is which also is a situation that looks good for Mitt. The other possibility is a late coalescing around Perry as Crazy #2 which could still happen.
