Does NAFTA Newt still believe in global warming? Would NAFTA Newt have signed Kyoto?
Interesting how this shows up on the News Forum:
Newt Gingrich. How the “smartest man in the room” may become the most electable.

Did you not watch him call for amnesty last night? MORE, and IMO, fatal baggage in the primaries.
Clever. But he doesn’t hafta.
Illegal alien lover. I don’t think so.
He has not adequately explained this, as he has not received the vetting process that the others have received, but at some point between now and January he will have to explain how he, as the smartest debater on the stage, came to the conclusion that this idea was constitutional.
Sorry but I'm not sure I get your point.

Joe Scarborough on Gingrich: He “Strapped on the Same TNT that Blew Rick Perry Up”
I use to have a boss who said that if you were always the smartest person in the room you are hanging out with the wrong people. Are you listening Newt?
Yeah?
In my always humble opinion, my article seems a good, though coincidental, response to the Scarborough article that explains exactly “why in the world Gingrich would say what he did just as he reached the top of the GOP Field.”
Yes, coincidences can be (mildly) funny.
But, this one is also true - just as Newt makes it into the big time, he also blows it.
At 7 pm last night, I might have voted for him.
At 8 pm last night, there was no way I’ve vote for him.
Newt is carrying the buzz because he is smart enough, in this very complicated time, to sort it out and return fire to the enemy...Obama and the Left.
I like Perry, Cain (very much)...but Newt is the only one smart enough to go out on the battle field and meet Obama face to face.
Perry and Cain have stumble on their own feet. Perry in the debates and Cain on foreign affairs (and that blooper about "apples and oranges" with Romney a while back).
Time will tell. But I question Newt’s timing in making a play for the independents/moderates. Holding this until the general would have been wiser. Newt needs Iowa and rocking the boat there at this juncture seems too risky. Then again it may not impact there as much as the conventional wisdom suggest. Iowans are bent at stopping Romney. Should they decide that Newt is the only viable option to do that, then he may get a pass on this.
BEING the smartest man in the room (assuming that’s even true) makes him his own worst enemy when it comes to electability. Unless he can learn to manage his professorial holier-than-thou tendency, his fall could be as dramatic as his rise.
You must have no heart! /s
Two things...
1) Newt gets kudos for being honest.
2) Shows that he has balls...
” Why was Obama elected ? “
People : open your eyes and see what has already happened. Obama stole the 2008 election via voter fraud, but McLame and the GOP did not say one peep. Obama released an obviously forged birth certificate and he is NOT a natural born citizen, yet nothing was done about it. Do you really believe the 2012 election will be fair and square?
So do I. But there are a surprisingly large number of independents in Iowa. Not to mention farmers who depend on migrant labor. So it might even help him in Iowa. After all, it is a blue state at heart.
