Obama is a duffer.

[CharlotteVRWC]

Newt’s a good sport...

[Neidermeyer]

I’d be ok with one 2 minute duel.

[ponygirl]

No way that happens. No way Zero agrees to go that long without a smoke.

[Jonty30]

Yes. I’m sure Gingrich would be fine with Obama and his teleprompters.

[AmericanInTokyo]

That was a good line. Will hand him that. I hope Obama got pissed off about it.

[Bigtigermike]

It’s not going to happen. I agree that Newt will be good against Obama but he knows that these lincoln-douglas debates are not going to happen

[jessduntno]

Smart use of his speech time...pre-empting Obama’s SOTU and setting his case before the public. It was subdued and simple. This is what a politician does. He leads.

Brit Hume is tying hs best to kill Newt.

[One Name]

Wonder if Obama will sleep in a fetal position tonight, if he can sleep.

[CAluvdubya]

I think Obama will be practicing his duck and cover drills at the White House during the debate times...

[dragonblustar]

Obama won’t last past three minutes......... That’s what Larry said.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Meanwhile, back in the white house, Obama tells Valerie Jarrett “Quick, get me some dark pants stat, I am gonna need them for when Newt makes me crap my pants”

[MacMattico]

Obama would also need the remote (ff/rew) to the TelePrompTer to keep up with what Newt said as he ran circles around him with actual facts.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Fat chance. If obozo’s handlers ever let him talk about his agenda for 3 hours he would probably have to leave the country. Never mind win reelection.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

He should also challenge him to an arm-wrestling contest

...and a pitching contest

...and a contest to see who can name the most states (Obama would win that one.)

...and a contest to see who can correctly name the most states (Newt would win that one.)

[Truth is a Weapon]

Newt will have to challenge 0bama’s ego and narcissistic nature so he overrules his campaign advisors. His advisors won’t agree to that many debates otherwise.

[My Favorite Headache]

Seriously...what in the hell is going on over at Fox? Tons of snide remarks about Newt all night and really the last 2 months have just been a bash fest on the guy.

I expect better from Brit.

[billorites]

[Steely Tom]

He also said that -- in the event Obama does not agree to debates with a timekeeper but no moderator -- he will show up, within four hours, in any city or town that Obama speaks in, to deliver a speech rebutting every point Obama makes.

By the way, I can see one way Obama can handle this pledge. I'll be some of you can too.

[digger48]

I look for the Kenyan to do the “historic” thing by refusing to do any debates.
