i agree with you somewhat: i take him at his word. however this is a presidential election, and this issue will be with him all the way. have to face up to it.
I think Newt will face it head on just as he did tonight.
I don't agree. I actually think that others in the media will take a look a the beating that King got tonight and say "whoa, I ain't goin' there.... I like my a$$ too much to have it handed it to me." Newt was obviously well prepared for the question but I highly suspect that if this gets raised again, he can crank it up lots more. In fact, as far as details he almost comes across as having a lot more he could say but he's holding back for this reason.
Watch the video; I think this issue is a non-starter.
