"I already said that if he wants to use a teleprompter, then it would be fine with me. [applause, laughter] It has to be fair. [laughter] If you [were] to defend ObamaCare, wouldn't you want a teleprompter?" Gingrich said.

All Obama has to do is write on his teleprompter about Newt’s support for the healthcare mandate, his Global Warming support, his long history supporting “green” causes, and the money he’s gotten from Fannie & Freddie and whoever else.

Classic, Newt will school the president. Obama will not do it because he does not want to look bad.

Newt is no dummy. The likelihood of successful GOP debates with Mr. Teleprompter increases dramatically with Gingrich as the nominee. There is no question that this a large part of the reason for his rapid climb in the polls. And there is no doubt that Newt recognizes this fact and will be exploiting it.

Well...whatever you think of Newt, he is the only guy running who is and continues to call out Obama on his perceived superior intellect by mocking him and his need for TOTUS

If you listen to what he said in the video he wants to debate Obama without a moderator and only a timer like the Lincoln Douglas debates of lore

Obama would never agree to such a set up.....he needs the sycophantic media to CVA him in that type of a debate

I think Obama would agree and it would be mnuch ado about nothing. The Cain / Newt “debate” turned out to be a love-fest.

I think Newt is making a mistake by bragging about his debating skills. He comes across as a blowhard and unnecessarily raises expectations. All Obama has to do to win is survive and all Newt has to do to blow it is make some little gaffe.

Obama will not use the teleprompter. He, with the cooperation of the press, will simply pick some knee padded lackey from the press to ask the pre rehearsed questions of him, like”explain the many ways you love America and the need for food in the mouths of grandmothers, etc” while the questions to Newt will be “have you stopped beating your wife yet?” “Have you figured out how to completley destroy this country, rob every body blind, and send naysayers to the concentration camps, stifled free speach, placed teachers in dungeons...etc”

-——The Cain / Newt “debate” turned out to be a love-fest.———

You think Newt would debate Obama the same way he debated Cain ?

I think not....Newt really nothing to lose in debating Cain

Newt wants to debate Obama without a moderator, just a timer....

Obama would have everything to lose and nothing to gain in that type of debate....

Don’t get cocky, Newt, remember David beat Goliath. Obama has the ability to sting you.

I don’t like either one of them, but I will support the smart one that can win .....I support Newt.

I don’t need a bbq buddy in the White House..... for my grandchildren, I need a president that has the best chance of turning this country around.

The sitting style lends itself to a cordial discussion. Sure it would be different than the one with Cain. Just like it would be different than a similar debate with anyone else. But I still think each would speak their talking points and it would be much ado about nothing. I am not saying it shouldn’t be done. But people that are expecting fireworks and a Newt knock-out punch will be disappointed
