Obama intends to make anyone who is a frontrunner look like they are for the rich and he is for the poor. I do believe Newt will be able to point out that the food stamp president who allowed GE to pay no taxes is not truly for the poor people.
I think Newt will be well served talking to We the People directly,('fireside chats' maybe), confront the MSM at every turn, and focus solely on Obama and his record.
And yes, I think he is sounding like he saw Beck's shows. I hope he is continuing to see GBTV. He basically told Hannity the other night, "You were right about Ayers and Wright and I was wrong." (paraphrasing here).
I hope he really hammers home the socialist/community organizer/Marxist/Alynskyite/class-warfare core of Obama. When independents get scared of Obama's anti-American intent, we'll have it won.
