Hmmmm. I disagree. Gingrich, like him or not, will raise issues in the debates in a way that will be worthy of serious consideration.
Don’t confuse this as ‘supporting’ Newt, btw. I’m not. I just know he’s good in a debate, no matter if you agree or disagree with him.
Personally, I’d like to see all the divergent points of view within the GOP on full display during the primaries.
I can see your position about him being a good catalyst in debate, he’s got a decent history on that score, but not so stellar, here, recently. We thought he’d be great on global warming v. Jf’nK, and we ALL know how THAT turned out.
In an odd way, though, that incident sort of encapsulates who Newt is, He’s the big talker with the trick knee that seems to always buckle in the clutch.
I was looking for Newt to take the gloves of and mop the walls with Kerry, instead I got capitualtion on the seminal point followed by paper tiger fencing over whether solutions should be driven by government or the private sector.
I guess you could call THAT a “divergent point.” LOL!!
