NEWT’S GOT CLASS. Listening to his victory speech. I’m getting excited about this campaign!

Looks like Newt in a squeaker. /s

FL is the next challenge for the anti-Romney voter; Romney has a very good chance of winning there.

NV will go Romney without question because of the concentration of Mormons.

I thought the debates didn’t matter.

Brit Hume on FoxNews calls it a "whopping victory"

Hume also said that debates in the general election have marginal influence. He cited only the Reagan-Carter debates as the last one that he recalled making a difference.

I dispute Hume's recollection.

I think that the first Bush-Gore debate was a turning point for Gore. Going into that debate, Bush was the "dummy" and Gore was the "seasoned debator." However, Gore was so obnoxious and arrogant during the debate that most people thought that Bush won it. SNL devastated Gore in the same manner that they devastated Palin eight years later.

Gingrich should take a lesson from Gore if he is the one who ends up debating Obama. I'm not saying that Gingrich should go soft, but Gore was so pompous during the first debate with Bush that he never recovered from it.
