I’ve been pondering Andrea Mitchells’ - and for y’all who don’t know, she’s been married to Alan Greenspan for 83 years - subdued and hesitant assessment of the debate, particularly Newt, and it struck me she was probably galvanized that Paul might capitulate to Newt.
Talk about the elite jumping out of windows.
Andrea Mitchell was remarkably fair to Newt. My impression is that she is very disappointed in Romney. The angle she took relative to Ron Paul and Newt was interesting. Grandpa Ron basically acknowledged that his is a vanity campaign, and Newt managed him very well tonight. I was holding my breath every time Grandpa Ron spoke, waiting for another anti-Newt bomb to come out, but nothing really bad ever materialized. In all, Newt had a good night.
