I guess beauty really IS in the eye of the beholder.
Romney DID attack Newt, and I thought Newt stood his ground pretty well, pointed out that Mitt’s accusations were a mishmash of errors. I don’t think Mitt was able to draw any blood.

Let me state right out in front, I am not a Gingrich or Romney supporter. I think that Santorum did very well tonight by not allowing himself into the fray. I also think Santorum is the best that is left still running. I also thought Ron Paul handled himself very well and was given time to explain his positions, some of there were very good, but Rick Santorums answer on Iran was the best answer of the night.
Did Romney draw blood, yes he did, that is what these guys do when the liberal press asks the questions. They try to draw blood. Newt claimed that he only got $25,000 but then in a comment that Mitt made it came out that Newt owned the company, that drew blood. I think that Newts answer to the question about his leaving congress because he wanted to was silly, surely he didn’t think that one through.
Newt has a worse problem though. The press is already harping how his first several years working for Freddie and Fanny contracts are missing. While it may not be seen in the press all over the country I think it will be big in Florida. I have a second home there, I can hardly wait to visit and see what people think.
I'm not sure he did either. IMHO he went on far too long, and appeared far too disorganized and desperate.
