[Utmost Certainty]

What has largely been ignored on this board is the precision with which Newt answered the early question about South Carolina's economy. Three bullets. Nobody else came close.

I noticed that.

I remarked on that in the live thread also. Newt translated national economic issues into real terms that affect the people in the audience, 1 of 5 of which he said depend in some way on the Port of Charleston for their livelihood. That was masterful debating, and it takes not only a keen mind but a command of the issues to do what Newt does so effortlessly. The contrast between Newt and Obama or Biden is like comparing an 8 core Xeon processor with an 8080 ;-)

(OK, in Biden’s case it’s like comparing a Xeon vs. a broken abacus)
