I agree. Most of Willy-Rom-Rom-RINO’S slip of the tongue came when his brain was working faster than his usually slick motor-mouth. I do dearly love long, high-stress campaigns, because the coached veneer starts to peel away and exposes the core traits of the candidate.

I would prefer fewer questions by the media “moderator” and more questions by the candidates. The media is so isolated from reality by promoting their own agendas that they are almost to annoying for words.

Have each candidate pose one question, and allow all the other candidates to give a 3 minute answer. Then have a 2 minute/candidate rebuttal, break for 3 minutes for commercials, WITH NO INSTANT ANALYSIS FROM THE MEDIA, OR THEIR LACKEYS.

Then go to the next candidates question, etc.
Newt has the right idea: stop the media from sound-bite headline journalism, and have a sincere discussion on the important issues before our Nation.

Pretty-Boys like Romney will be revealed as just-more-of-the-same candidates, who rely on “just-trust-me-because-I-know-what-I-am-doing” BS.

Give the candidates a micro chance to answer an essay exam, instead of the usual sound bite, true or false exam.

To the tabloid, pop-culture, hostile media: Show-case the IDEAS of a candidate, as we are VERY capable of deciding who WE want to represent us.

That’s how I see Newt. He is the insider the outsiders need to work over Congress.
