This is either really bad for us or really good. I see two possible outcomes:

1. Most of his support will go to Newt. That will give him a much stronger presence in Iowa and New Hampshire and make it that much harder for us to close the gap. Even though we will get some support, it will probably be a net benefit for Newt.

2. Newt will begin to drop before Iowa and that will mean that a greater piece of the pie (Newt's percentages and Cain's percentages) will be up for graps. A lot of them will shift to Paul and it will give us a bigger lead.

Basically it only is good if Newt begins to fall back down to Earth.
