"At least I am enjoying watching him in the debates. "

His answers to specific questions, one on one, are even more enlightening.

For instance on "Fannie/Freddie issue is probably the most damaging thing in his past":

Newt had a consulting firm. It was not a one man show. Fannie/Freddie contracted with that company for some $1M+ over 5 years. $200K/yr to a company is ? when it comes to Washington retainers?

Yeh, yeh, yeh. I heard it. His response during the debate to the Fannie/Freddie issues was the least impressive of the whole debate, and is the one the less informed voters are likely view extremely negatively.

It won’t affect my vote. If Newt is nominated I’ll vote for him, but Fannie/Freddie is an issue that can be exploited quite well by Alinsky tactics, and some people will abandon him on this issue alone that is all I am saying.
