Let's get ready to rumble, Republican style.

The primary season in America is always a fascinating thing to watch from afar, as contenders and pretenders battle it out in the quest for their respective parties nomination for the Presidency.

This year, while President Obama plans his re-election strategy (something tells me it will be along the lines of Tax the Rich), the Republicans have suddenly entered into a nasty, beer room brawl of a nomination process.

While the also rans have long since faded from view and the sideline participation of Ron Paul and Rick Santorum continues on the campaign trail, the real battle at the moment seems to be the very visceral dislike between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.

With the two candidates now seemingly locked into battle in Florida, separated by but a few polling points,  it would appear that the Gingrich rise has put a bit of the fear of Elohim into the Romney side.

To that end, the New York Times and the Washington Post blog Plum line outline the latest developments in the battle of the two top possibilities at the moment.

For those that think the Liberals and Conservatives have no limits when it comes to Canadian elections, gaze upon the latest salvo from Florida, now that's going negative...

Washington Post-- Romney paints Gingrich as mentally unstable

We're not sure how all this is going to play out.  We imagine the Romney moves will now be countered by something else from the Gingrich campaign, making for fascinating theatre but certainly a new level subterranean in the course of the debate.

Hmm, what's that we see, it could be that over there in the Republican bullpen there's someone warming up, should the mutually assured sense of destruction continue on, it could be that Chris Christie has to loosen up his arm after all!
