Mitt is desperate for a knockout punch. So far, Newt is playing it well. Newt is in the driver's seat. As the debate moves along, Newt will go back to focusing on Obama.
We will see Mitt not letup in his attacks on Newt. People will quickly see how desperate Mitt. It will not help him with the voters.
Bingo! Mitt is no longer the front-runner, and is allowing himself to collapse into being a second-tier candidate.
Mitt's not talking strategy or vision. He's trying to take down Newt. That's NOT leadership, and will not play well.
Newt missed a chance to laugh at Mittens and say there you go again.
