GOP flip flop

The Cnn article, CNN Poll: Gingrich soars, Cain drops uses a recent CNN poll that shows Newt Gingrich is now in second place behind Rominey. This is obviously due to the Sexual harassment allogations that have kept Cain in the negative spotlight these past two weeks. The article says, "With Cain dropping and Perry flat-lining, it looks like it's Gingrich's turn to become the "anybody but Romney" candidate. If the GOP race becomes a two-man battle between Romney and Gingrich, the poll indicates they are well-matched. Romney and Gingrich are the two most popular Republican candidates among the GOP rank and file, and the only two with favorable ratings above 50% among the Republicans surveyed."

Is this true? Is Newt an anybody but Romeny candidate?
Personally, I would never vote for Newt Gingrich, he has quite a history with women and scandals himself. So itll be interesting to see since the media is talking about candidate character, if his will be questioned.
