CNN touts Newt's fundraising prowess. Also, Liberty University straw poll results.

-- "[T]he vast fundraising groundwork Gingrich has been constructing over the last several years instantly makes him the fundraising powerhouse in the GOP presidential race.

There's no doubt few Republicans will be able to match the president's fundraising machine, but Gingrich just might," CNN writes

-- Over the weekend, Newt spoke at Liberty University, and the gathering voted on who their preference for the GOP nomination is:

Michelle Bachmann: 23%
Mike Huckabee: 22%
Newt Gingrich: 21%
Ron Paul: 12%

"[M]ore people choose “other” than voted for Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney or Haley Barbour," writes Politico.
