Well that is because Newt would kick Obama’s behind in a national debate. He is brilliant and can cream anybody.

Newt does say he has a problem in that he can't beat a 'dishonest' opponent in a debate. But that shouldn't be a problem with Obama will it? Would Obama refuse to fight fair?

Of course Obama would not fight fair. In fact, with the MSM in his pocket, he may not even have to *fight* at all, if by that you mean a debate. Much has been said about Newt's debating skills, and perhaps too much emphasis placed upon them. Such too easily give the appearance of "a one trick pony", and if the opposition ducks out, the trick would never be performed in any meaningful way. We are going to need more than that to prevail, I fear.

I am currently uncommitted as to nominee preference, barring only both Romney, and Paul, who are completely unacceptable to me, so I have no axe to grind, either for Santorum, or Gingrich. I would find either acceptable, if not particularly palatable...

Fear?? It's called common sense which appears to be lacking of more than a few here. At most there will be two or three POTUS debates and recently Newt has also said that he would refuse to debate Obama if a MSM is moderating, after claiming he will challenge Obama to 7 debates as his secret to beating him. His flaws have been so obvious all along, just review all the Newt threads here from spring to early summer and the comments on them.
