"The top-tier candidates stayed home. They wouldn't do it. He did."
I'd like to know who WSJ thinks the "top-tier" are. I haven't heard too many people upset over someone not running except for Sarah Palin and I'm pretty sure that's not who the WSJ has in mind.
Yes, Newt would destroy Obama in a debate.
But IMO Obama will never debate Newt. The MSM will help Obama come up with an excuse and do their best to sell that excuse to the public.
Obama would however agree to debate Perry were he the nominee. And Perry has such low expectations that as long as he managed to show up and not fall off the stage he would be perceived as at least breaking even.
This is one reason why perry might be a better nominee....but I am leaning hard for Newt these days. He is definitely growing on me. A few months back I considered Newt's candidacy as a joke. My opinion has changed dramatically... it was Newt's ability to take the fight to his opponent that has caused this. I am longing for a true warrior to be the nominee this time!
What he is saying is that Newt won the debate !
GO NEWT !
First, who the hell thinks that the O is going to “debate” ANYBODY AT ALL??
Betcha he will have a bunch of “scheduling conflicts” that will prohibit all but ONE (if that).
RinoRomney will goalong getalong and accoplish NOTHING.
No man can put in what God left out.
