Gingrich is an excellent debater, there's no doubt about it. But Obama knows this. If anyone thinks Obama is going to agree to 7 3-hour debates with Gingrich, they're absolutely crazy. Gingrich will get what everyone gets - a few one hour moderated debates. If it were all decided on debates, I would say go with Gingrich, but the problem is that most of this will be fought on the retail politics side, and Obama is far superior on that score than Gingrich. Can you see the fat, old, disheveled Gingrich out kissing babies? With Callista?! It just doesn't work. Santorum, Romney, Perry and Paul are all superior on that score. Newt is like a nuclear weapon - he's incredibly leathal - but you can only use him in rare scenarios...and he comes with fallout.

I agree completely.Do you think Obozo would agree to any debate when he didn’t get the questions ahead of time?he would be seen as the stuttering buffoon we all know him to be.

I look at this election as one of those rare scenarios where we need the nuclear option.

Go Newt!

Newt comes with fallout?

Hmmm….

Speaker Gingrich-led Republicans….the result:

* Voting on each of the Contract with America items
* Four consecutive balanced budgets
* $405 billion of debt paid off
* Major welfare reform accomplished
* 11 million new jobs for America
* Unemployment falling to under 4%.

Oh, you’re just talking about of your BUTT.

Newt would be fine on that “retail” side. He doesn’t have to kiss babies ..he can hold dignified fireside chats, coffees with seniors, town halls — he’s GREAT in person and he sways voters everytime they see him in public.

Besides, the thought of Obama kissing babies somehow makes my own skin crawl. Wasn’t it HE who said he wouldn’t want his own daughter to be “punished w/ a baby?” anyway? We all know Obama is cold and aloof and probably hates most living things ...
