“Newt’s nomination is essentially assuring Obama’s reelection.”

How do you figure that? One debate and 0 would be flopping around on the stage like a fresh caught trout on a dock.

My crazy prediction is that if Newt got the nomination there would be no debates.

Gingrich folds when he debates libs. Watch him concede to John Kerry that urgent action is needed to stop global warming:

I believe that's wishful thinking. Not because of O's alleged debate prowess, though. Call me a cynic, but for most debates these days, it seems the fix is in.

Who normally moderates them, David Gregory, Gwen Ifill, or someone of that ilk? The questions are skewed to favor the liberal or catch the conservative in a "gotcha" moment. Town hall formats? Too many questions asked by liberal plants.

If it was a true old-school debate that was allowed to flow freely, then, yes, Obama would be exposed for the idiot he is. I just don't see that being allowed to happen.
