Newt is quick on his feet, can clearly articulate things, and a good debater. That has gotten him to the support level he currently has.

However, he comes across not so well with the general public. Even tonite, I was loving Newt’s zingers, especially on Juan Williams. But the visuals don;t play well to the average American. (Nixon/Kennedy Debates). Newt looks angry and uneven.

But the biggest issue which will prevent Newt from winning the nomination, is he doesn’t have a good campaign organization. Too many ongoing mistakes. Virginia primary is one of the most visibile. But they have dropped the ball in SC several times in just the last few days. Missing town halls, being late for events, messed up media teleconferences, etc.

I wish Newt would start a media matters type organization like Bozell.

I like Newt but I do think Perry is more likable. He has a sense of humor (gong) and is the most solid on my issues (2nd & 10th amendments). But I’ll be happy if either of them can knock that smug a$$hole Romney out of the race.

Missing town halls, being late for events, messed up media teleconferences, etc. You are quoting an AP story by a ridiculous reported who cited those things as evidence the campaign was failing. He didn't miss any town halls, two calls on the conference call were cut off - whoa. And he is late sometimes because he consciously decided to shake hands with everyone at his events who wanted to shake his hand.... btw, newt doesn't look angry and uneven. He looks like everybody's favorite history professor. If you are trying to make a case, not a very good one.

This will not be Nixon Kennedy, it will be if America wants 4 more years of this disaster. Newt would give them a clear choice.

“I wish Newt would start a media matters type organization like Bozell.”

I think you mean Brent Bozell’s Media Research Center. Media Matters is a Soros-funded leftist smear organization.

Or maybe you DID mean Media Matters??? LOL

I agree that Newt needs a better oranization.
