Education is an issue that can sometimes be overshadowed by other topics in debates and on the campaign trail. Here is one candidate’s view on education from the College Board’s “Education and Election 2012″ forum on Thursday. What do you think about Speaker Newt Gingrich’s thoughts on education?

Sorry, no sale, Newt.

One worlder.

Global warmist.

Damaged goods.

Career politician.

Game over.

Newt is a fraud! He was paid by freddie Mac to defend then from reform by conservatives right before the economic collapse

I suppose you wouldn’t vote for Jesus either. He’s not perfect enough!

From what I had time to listen to, I found Newt to be good on this, very good.

We live in a time where we need someone of Newt’s intellectual breadth and depth. This is not a time for newbies to the political process, and I am speaking of Herman Cain in particular.

Newt Gingrich’s star is rising slow and steady I see him becoming the front runner soon.

The “taint” of the past that people tag him with has become for me nostalgia for a better time.

I am on board for a Gingrich-Bachman ticket.

Anyone else?

I watched all four who spoke at the College Board's forum: Cain, Santorum, Bachmann and Newt.

Newt was the most thorough.

Bachmann had some legislative history specifics regarding LBJ and her role in charter schooling in MN to discuss.

Santorum spoke about homeschooling as it's what his wife does and focused on the importance of parents are the first educators.

Cain was very general; he could've been much more detailed given the questioners and forum.

The others were no shows.

How does Cain-Gingrich or Gingrich-Cain sound to you? Cain provides the inspirational leadership, Newt brings all the gravitas - and more - than Cain could ever need. I don’t think their little duet debate is just a debate - I think the alliance is beginning...

Jesus was not a thrice-married, earth-worshipping, one-worlder socialist, global warmist, career politician with more than 20 years of bad press.

Herman Cain ain’t perfect, but he’s light years better than Newt.

He has very a strong skill set to address the challenges we face.

I am really not much of a fan of Cain. I could see four long years of him explaining himself and saying he was only joking.

We have incredibly serious issues now and it is no time for someone who is politically untested.

I am surprised at people’s uncritical fawning enthusiasm for this man.

I could change my mind but I doubt it.

This is a thought that has crossed my mind too. It's a ticket I could support.

Fascinating. I challenge anyone to tell me they can envision any other current candidate holding this conversation.

No. You are simply wrong. You obviously have no judgment to call upon so you simply jump to irrelevant conclusions. Do America a favor and call in sick on primary day. That way you won't cancel out the informed vote of one of the rest of us.

He may not get the GOP nomination but Newt is the best man running.
