Or.... maybe no one on stage is going after Gingrich because they would come out on the short end of it? What other contender up there would dare go after Newt?
Before the 2008 election, Newt was polling at 15% (with McCain, Guiliani, Romney, Huckabee already running) on just speculation he would get in. I think he might have jumped in too early, and his campaign did get off to a pretty bad start. The media has savaged him, but he is slowly bouncing back. Nobody on the stage tonight wants to be one on one against Newt.... guaranteed. Obama vs. Newt in a debate would be much worse than Edwards vs. Cheney.
I can’t argue with anything you said, BUT, Newt’s not gonna be the nominee, even though Palin complimented him on Greta tonite and semi-trashed Perry’s cronyism re Gardasil. A lot of $3 bills are starting to show up with Perry’s picture. He doesn’t have to worry about that coyote he shot anymore, but the pack of wolves are starting to gather.
