I believe he responded with nearly perfect pitch and has gone a way towards inoculating himself on these issues.
He has addressed the urban legend about the scene with his first wife in the hospital room where she was not dying, did not have cancer, and was not confronted by Gingrich with divorce papers. He was given a chance to explain his remark on Meet the Press which cost him so dear concerning representative Ryan. Finally, as one poster has already noted, Gingrich handled the Nancy Pelosi couch photograph perfectly by simply preempting the matter and admitting it was one of the dumbest things he's ever done. This is a line he is taken on camera recently.
I do not believe that some posters have stated that the panel is adverse to Gingrich with the possible exception of Juan Williams. I think Krauthammer asked questions concerning Iran and Israel which profoundly and personally affected him. I would be very surprised if he was unhappy with the answer he got. As Herman Cain flounders in his scandal, it becomes increasingly clear that Gingrich is the intelligent choice around whom conservatives should rally to head off Romney and ultimately defeat Obama.
