Well, Rita, no running from tomorrow’s debate- that determines SC— Hope Newt’s people know enough to pack the audience— don’t need a bunch of Paulies booing him.
They’ll all come at him hard-— strong solid defense first- and then patience, wait for the opening - and then bam, one of those classic Newt soundbites— that will do it...

Yes, the big debate under these new circumstances, and I hope no one minds if I sweat it, preemptively. Pressure is octaves higher politically after his break out, and now this. It will be personally stressful for Newt to be seen decidedly dodging the fall out.
Someone said yesterday that Newt should answer it, keep it simple and close it down. Evidently, starting with the daughters, I am betting that that Newt is not unprepared, that he has some surrogates close to the Marianne situation who are in-the-know, who can increasingly raise the heat on Marianne’s obsessions with Newt. Without a tape it’s slander; maybe true, maybe exaggerated, maybe manufactured.
Thanks for the upbeat.
