Newt will wipe the floor with Obama in a debate and I bet Obama will be shaking in his boots. Should Newt win I look for the Obama team to make zero seem like the victim of mean ole Newt a la Hillary and Rick Lazio in their debate (which was laughable knowing what an aggressive witch Hillary really is). I think Obama will have to go for sympathy rather than competence - since he’s incompetent anyway.
One thing I know - he’s the smartest guy on our side - wish I were sure that he could beat zero in the election.
If we are not sure Newt can win, then it is too late to save the Republic in any case. He certainly is not my choice, but it is what it is.
