Newt did just what he should have done. He went in with a plan. Controlled his tongue knowing full well he wouldn't be given time for a full explanation of some Romney attacks. He appealed the to groups he needed to in the “not decided yets.” He was concise with out ever being petty. He did not insult the intelligence of those taking a look at the new front runner. He taught.
