Truthfully, it appears that Newt is breaking out of the pack. He has done well in recent debate performances. I am surprised he is at 10% versus practically nothing a few weeks ago.

That's because Newt and Cain are both class acts and were able to rise above viciously attacking their fellow republican candidates and still get their message across.

I agree. This has been a surprise story so far, hasn’t it?

I guess it shows that sheer intellectual doggedness counts for something in the GOP primary.

I would NOT have predicted a Newt surge a month ago. Maybe 10’ish is not a surge, but you are right, as compared to where he was when he took his Greek cruise, this is very surprising.

I think it also shows that GOP voters really care about substance. And that is a good thing.

What? Did he purposefully not mention 'Callista' (for once)? Or, did he say he can't make the next debate because 'Callista' wants to go on a cruise after hitting Tiffany's? He was my congressman for years - I wouldn't vote for him if he were the nominee.
