Donald Trump planning a surprise this morning?

The New York Times, the Associated Press and Politico all reported last night that real estate mogul Donald Trump would endorse Newt Gingrich this morning. But they may have jumped the gun -- or perhaps The Donald had a change of heart overnight.

The Drudge Report, which has sources inside the Mitt Romney campaign, is suggesting that Trump might endorse Romney, not Gingrich, at 11:30 this morning. That would align Trump with the frontrunner, but could also undercut any third-party run of his own.

Our question: Does it matter one iota? Trump's credibility as a political force plummeted with most thinking humans during his farce of a campaign late last year. Besides, Romney is coming off a 14-point win over Gingrich in Florida, and a new poll shows him leading Saturday's Nevada caucus by 2o points. Gingrich's last chance comes a month from now when 10 states, including many in the South, vote. By then, Trump's news either way will be long forgotten.
