Questionable strategy by Newt.

Not so... It makes sense. It is win-win for both.

The same people who like Mitt also like Huntsman, so Huntsman will steal from Mitt's support.

And the timing, exactly ONE MONTH before the NH debate,
And the location also NH, so it will get a lot of NH viewers at exactly the same time where voters start paying CLOSE attention to an upconming election.

Should get a lot of NH press coverage. It will play in Iowa TV and MSM as well, since THEY will be only 3 weeks from their caucus.

All of this will also remind voters that Mitt is a coward to not debate Newt. (not presidential material)

Exactly. Unless one of them self-destructs dreadfully (and, let’s face it, what are the chances of Newt Gingrich or Jon Huntsman embarrassing themselves at a debate? Pretty slim I should imagine) then this is a win-win.

Romney seems to be running scared of EVERYTHING at this juncture. Gingrich mentioned a few days ago, that the race could conceivably transform, in a short period of time, from a Romney v Not-Romney contest, into a Newt v Not-Newt one.

A Romney supporter from New Hampshire, rather complacently I thought, mentioned just two short weeks ago, that the Romney Campaign “could hear no footsteps coming up behind them in New Hampshire.”

I wonder what they hear now. I wonder if they are listening. They might just find TWO pairs of footsteps closing in on them if they are not careful.
