At 70 MPH. One false or misleading accusation after another.
I have no idea how much of the viewing audience caught the details of Newt's rebuttal; or even the "You're a liar" gist of Newt's rebuttal. But if Romney thinks last night was the end of it, as in getting the last word in, he's mistaken. Romney's investments with Fannie Mae will come out, and so he too benefited from bad government policy of bailout.
Not that my gut feeling on election politics is reliable - Lord knows my history on that is negative - but my sense is that Romney is going to take another beating, this time in the FL primary. HE has no up-side potential. It's all down hill from here. It'll be Romney trying to recover from being a disgrace; and Newt will move on to discuss how his policies will benefit the nation, should he obtain the presidency.
Indeed, Romney may get bruised in FL and he really can’t afford to lose any more of his chrome.
Post-debate I heard commentators discussing his deficiencies in a way that indicated the scales have begun to fall from their eyes. Mr. Thirty Percent is looking less inevitable by the minute. But Newt must continue to shoot and stake the zombie until the Sunshine State comes through.
There was a crawler on FOX during the debate about his 500,000 investment in F &F
This AM information about a staff member or the like being a lobbyist for F&F has hit the internet....just a matter of time until it gets bigger.
