Is Chris Wallace taking a beating in the press & blogs this morning?

I found Chris Wallace’s rebuttal more offensive than the original question. It was his and the panel’s job to ask tough questions and, per his entirely too defensive rebuttal, about their ‘record.’ A campaign personnel issue is not Newt’s or anyone else’s ‘record.’

From my POV, Newt did win the night on the debate, but I don’t see that getting him the nomination. He is unquestionably the smartest of all candidates, announced and not, but he’s done himself in with his personal behavior. He just doesn’t have a presidential temperament, which would include self-restraint (only Clinton gets a pass on that).

Fox New and the Examiner have done worse. They had themes supposedly promising to ask each candidate a question on a topic. And yet on immigration, they skipped Bachmann and Pawlenty. They skipped other candidates on other issues.
Failure, Fraud or Bias?

"Do you really think he is Conservative or will treat Obama the same way?"

I think that's the issue.

I'm not opposed at all to tough questioning, particularly when you're in the process of thinning out the herd for the highest office in the land.

However, it would've been nice for someone, ANYONE, in the MSM to have asked Obama something a little more challenging than, "If your father were alive today, what would he think of your run for the presidency?"

He’ll have a nice plum job waiting when Jim Lehrer retires.
