Well, his lack of organization is going to cost him badly in February. Most of the contests are caucuses, where organization is key. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have the edge in such cases. Newt will have to play catch up, and he'll have a tough time doing it.

February also has three primaries, but only one can really help Newt, that one being Missouri on Feb 7th. The other two are Arizona and Michigan, both on the 28th. Romney has the inside track in Arizona (where there are a notable number of Mormon voters and where John McCain supports Mitt) and is a lock in Michigan (Mitt's effective home state).

Exactly. Newt half-assed his campaign in the beginning, seemingly believing he'd be knocked off early, and so used the opportunity to sell books. Then he became the "Not Romney" flavor after Cain's collapse, but peaked in December. Now he's enjoying a resurgence in the South, but all those wasted months not spending much to organize is about to bite him in the ass.
