I think that’s why some FReepers wanted Newt to get the nomination—because they expected him to give Obama a “feisty bloodletting” in the debates. But who knows how exactly he would have performed against Obama head-to-head.
But the debates are less important than the actual election, of course.
I think Newt could have done it and done it right
Mitt would have looked like a Newt wanna be
We didn’t get the bi**& slap, but Romney looked like a leader.
