Gingrich vs. Romney: Head to Head Debate?

Now that Gingrich and Romney have emerged as the clear Republican front-runners, the two candidates are being heavily vetted for the impending primaries and caususes. After a number of crowded GOP stages, some suggest it is time to narrow the debates down to the front-runners. Do you want to see Gingrich and Romney discuss the issues in a one on one debate?

Yes

No

The ‘yes’ responses will be pro-Newt.
The ‘no’ responses are pro-Mitt.

This poll will be a good test of support.

Not looking good for Mutt.

84% wants this thing to go 10 rounds and the spread definitely Favors Newt.

Weird, a lizard taking on a snake....

Gingrich v. Mitt head to head? Yeah, that would be a good one! (Asks for email and zipcode. Use "whatever@yopmail.com" and pick a zip out of the phonebook if you don't want to use a real one) 84% yes so far.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

If he shows up for the debate he’s gonna pass out from stammering about half through and Newt won’t have even bothered to take a sip of water yet.

I voted. YES votes waaaayyy ahead.

That was actually easy to call. A debate would be very interesting but I think Romney would duck and run for cover. He will not debate Newt now that he has been exposed factually as a much more liberal candidate than Newt. Just my two cents.

I voted no.
There ain't been a vote cast yet and the GOP establishment is setting Romney up for the nomination. Romney is a lying liberal and Newt can't get his foot out of his mouth. I'm agin’ both and I plan on voting for Santorum on Jan 21st if he can hold on til then.
Natch I'll vote for anybody against Obama but I want conservatives to pick the nominee not the RINO leadership.
Let two candidates duke it out but let all of them pair up and not just the patsy Newt and Mendacity Mitt.

Yes.

As has been pointed out before, the strength of Ronald Reagan was his almost lifelong study of the Founders' ideas and the ancient books from which they derived them. Such historical study and understanding enabled him to drill down to the principle underlying a certain political issue, and to come up with what seemed to be quick answers in a debate setting.

Quoting Ronald Reagan himself comes easy to most Republican candidates. Few, however, can quote from the 85 Federalist essay explanations of the Constitution's limitations on government, or from the words of the Founders.

To this point, Romney shows no such prior study or understanding, and that would require more than a cursory overview in preparation for a debate.

It's time for citizens to receive a lesson from a history professor, and that, alone, might be a worthwhile endeavour.

Not sure what you’re smoking but CONSERVATIVES, TP supporters, and our grassroots ALL support Newt (per all polling) over Willard and every other candidate. Period.

Exactly. The establishment and liberals could use some Newt schooling.

Is Newt more conservative than Perry Santorum or Bachman?

I'm voting for a conservative—you can believe all the spin from the RINOs and liberal media.

Both Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh say vote for the conservative and neither has any use for Newt Romney.

Romney will never agree to debate Newt one on one. Neither will Obama.
