I'm not so sure. Newt is definitely doing an outstanding job in these debates among fellow Repubs, positioning himself well to the right. But invariably he goes for the middle ground when the context has changed and he is among the liberal left. At least he has done this in the past - cuddling up to Pelosi, for instance (think of that horrible picture). You call it political posturing. I really like Newt, and even more so in these debates, but, I'm sorry, I just don't trust him,

True, but to be honest, most of the elected pols in the GOP should be able to do the same.

If you can find it, go back and watch when Alan Keyes debated Obama. It didn't matter either way, but Keyes wound up absolutely destroying him, on issue after issue......Obama is not a good debater, he only wound up where he is, by facing an even worse debater, Hillary, who couldn't debate her way out of a paper bag.

“Newt would destroy Obama in a debate.”

Yes, he would. People can say what they want about him, but he’d be the best. I’d rate Herman Cain second, ‘cause he’s outstanding. I just worry about him perhaps being caught offguard on some relatively small detail by the MSM, but 90-95% of the time, he’d kick BHO’s butt in debate. That should be more than sufficient, but the “iffy” 5 or 10% is what the liberal media would seize upon, for days if not weeks.
