[11th Commandment]

A BIG miss the point by Will. The message to Romney, air my dirty laundry and I will air yours. Also, message to the Political Class GOP that think Romney is electable over Newt, THIS ISSSUE will be brought up by Obama so don't think your guy is clean.

I wish George Will would attack Obama with the same enthusiasm that he uses against Repubs. Instead he joins in the completely destructive Repub civil war, where the apparent goal is to render all our candidates unelectable.

George Will is in the tank for Romney after having predicted either Tim Pawlenty or Mitch Daniels would be the nominee.

Except for those who want another reason to bash him, there's nothing wrong with Newt tongue-in-cheek retort, which included a "$10 bet," to Romney's foolishly taking the press bait.
