I want the $60 Victory Paxkage.1 Something wickedly strategic about having lots of peal and stick Newt stickers to paste everywhere! And a Newt coffee mug would make my mornings. Wearing the Newt baseball cap would get lots of questions at the range, too!

CNN is all over the Freddie Mac contract with Newt, which has just been released.

[Artcore]

“This debate is about America and how zero is doing everything in his power to blunt and abort our greatness.”

Exactly!

I hope Newt ridicules the Marxist without mercy in tonight's debate. I hope he turns Alinsky’s Rules right back on the Kenyan.

Go Newt!

[glock rocks]

That’s a brilliant analysis. We can watch for it (and hope they didn’t read it).

[Cboldt]

-- Frank Luntz worked on a similar approach in a 'townhall' round table with the candidates before the Iowa caucuses. The approach needs only minor tweaking to eliminate Newt's ability to address the issue on his terms. --

All Newt would have to do is make the question into one about the media, and it's kid glove treatment of Obama. Maybe drop the name "Larry Sinclair."

Gingrich has released contracts on the WEB for his historical research. Oops Romney just filled his pants.

[unixfox]

I like mine:

NEWTER OBAMA!

[Matchett-PI]

LOL bttt

[angelcindy]

When Willard says private sector...and Ron P talks about attacking

[Cboldt]

-- Fox was just saying that he does NOT have a stump speach, but says what is appropriate for the people he is speaking to.....No teleprompter, no notes, just from his mind. --

That's some impressive stuff right there. The public generally is unaware of that sort of thing - the media does a good job of hiding the fact that most politicians resemble entertainers, same rehearsed act, day after day.

Wow. I guess Newt was legally about to call Romney's bluff. Excellent!

From earlier statements and reports, I had expected even those to be covered under Non-Disclosure Agreement.

COntracts are on line need a thread of their own for perusal and discussion.

[cookcounty]

According to Comcast there is no debate...part of the reason I left Dish was because they had some doped-up Hollywood in-law putting the listings on their Guide. Now I find the dope's brother is doing the same awful job at Comcast.

[Raebie]

Same with TWC here in Charlotte. Fear Factor at 9, Rock Center at 10.

Hoping the guide just hasn’t been updated.

Good on Newt's ex-employer for releasing it to the public. I expect CNN to mischaracterize the contents of it. More fodder for Newt's cannon.

[longtermmemmory]

They could use the homosexual reporter from the phil hendry show... that would qualify for the daily kos and huffpost.

[angelcindy]

I seen willard whining on tv today...he was acting like a lil rich kid..you beat me and i’m gonna get you back newt...

[MissMagnolia]

LOL! Good one. I think he needs to “Newter Romney” first ....
