Now, it's looking like he's the sleeping giant that has finally awaken. It still remains to be seem if he can keep this up. Mitt Romney has been able to weather the storm through each of the other candidate's rise - Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and Herman Cain. Gingrich seems to be most formidable of the bunch, with the double digit lead.
