Great team, those two. I personally think Newt's ego is distracting (continually interjecting "my book," "my think tank," " my balanced budget," etc) and he does not wear as well, but these two guys together have great chemistry and their separate strengths meld well.

That said, Steve King is annoying.

Steve King is highly annoying tonight. Way too wonky, without a point.

Newt is a conservative politician with extensive experience surviving in an ego laden environment. It's difficult for me to fault him then for having a typical politician's self-centered focus. Yet knowing this hasn't made listening to Newt tonight an easy task, for me anyway.

I like Cain in this tonight because of his straight ahead statement of facts..

Very astute observations..and I agree.
