So, basically this author criticizes Newt for being too smart? I guess I forgot politicians had to be idiots.

Anyway, no, you’re not the only one who shares that opinion—there are more than a few of you around here.

You’ll just have to decide if you like Romney more.

Possibly. Many people recall an apple-polishing smart*ss or several from their school days. The smart*ass was a know-it-all and a pariah is many classrooms. Gingrich reminds people of that former school associate. In effect, Gingrich turns many people off because he tells people how smart he is.

Newt is smart and sometimes brilliant, but he is not smart enough to use fewer words and be quiet once in awhile. His answer to Chris Wallace was good but the federal judge nonsense this weekend was, in my opinion, the wrong thing to say.
