There was noting new tonight. This was all stated on the campaign trail.
” There was not*h*ing new tonight. This was all stated on the campaign trail. “
There may have been “nothing new” for Newt from his campaign trail, but his cogent, precise, and succinct delivery last night of his deliberate intentions for policy, raises heads every time he speaks, especially when he delivers in true to form fashion.
It Newt’s natural and expressive countenance that seldom fails to reflect that of a statesman. Newt, however, needed to overcome his Florida debate performance, where he was seen as stunned by both the unnatural audience before him, who had arrived well arranged to be a majority of noise makers, bought and paid for by Romney, who cheered his every utterance often before the punch line was ever delivered. Secondarily, Newt admitted of himself that he was dumbfounded by Romney himself, by his noisy spray of negative hysterics against Newt displayed on stage that night, in the debate, like trying to nail pudding onto a wall.
Last night Newt was at his best, likely prepared for much worse, and/or certainly prepared to be marginalized.
On the other hand, your premise that, “all was stated on the campaign trail”, does not apply to Santorum on the old campaign trail, who last night was finally revealed to have (how ever indirectly) willingly lent some support towards the status quo of abortion law, and the status quo of access to abortion, by his own Title votes!
The revelation of this issue was something dragged out, but not discussed by Santorum on the campaign trail, won’t you agree? Ron Paul finished Rick off when he aptly described him as an excuse maker, routinely making excuses when campaigning, for each of his perpetual legislative excesses while in office, and with a record full of those excesses.
AND, they still have not even started on Rick’s ties to the union, his pro-union leniency.
