We can count on at least three Presidential debates since that has occurred in every election since JFK vs Nixon.
Newt has argued for seven debates to parallel Lincoln vs Douglas and believes that Obama will accept since Obama has a fantasy that he is the re-incarnation of Abe.
Chaos theory says rightly that no one can predict what will happen next. But, based on Newt's stellar performance in ever debate I've seen him in during the last months I am confident that he will be impressive against Obama.
Based also on watching Obama coldly read the prompter, punctuated by "ums" and "ahs" every other sentence over the last three years, I'd say that he certainly hasn't lived up to the moniker of being a great orator.
And judging by the fact that Obama's ideas are bankrupted or corrupt I'd say that Newt stand a fair chance at trouncing Obama in the debates.
It will be brainy Newt vs twitty Barak.
Thus speaks my eight ball.
I think you forgot to turn the ball over each time.
