I think John King did Newt a favor too by asking him about it the way he did.

It gave Newt the perfect opportunity to take what could have been a huge negative and turn it around to his favor.

The media thought this would destroy Newt, they misunderestimated him.

Newt: 1 Media: 0

King doesn't give those questions, the producers do. And the producers knew it would set Gingrich on fire.

The MSM wants a scorched-earth GOP primary season. And if they're the lightning rod for any candidate, that's just fine with them, because it helps their boy Bobo in the end.

That's not a commentary on the GOP race as it unfolds, it's just what it is.
