Newt is right about the applause, but it would have been WAY more effective if he had made the statement on stage last night!
You’re right. he seems to realize that now. Were I his campaign, I would put out a letter to every major news medium castigating Williams and informing them in no uncertain terms that such behavior will not be tolerated in the future. I would send the letter out in a news release. And I would go on every talk show reiterating the point in the strongest possible terms.
