Lets see.... Newt has a bad debate performance and the reasons are :

a) The audience was stacked against me
b) I was so stunned my Romney’s lies, I couldn’t adequately respond.

I love Newt, but this sounds like thin-skinned, never take responsibility for anything, Obama excuses.

The debate is just one skirmish in a large battle. The debate won’t determine who wins the nomination.

Newt will live on to fight another day. Move on and lets discuss what they are going to do about the debt, energy, and job creation.

I believe Newt and I wouldn't put it past the GOP Establishment to stack the audience in Mitten's favor. Newt even tested his suspicions by challenging Blitzer to see the crowd's response. A Pro-Newt crowd would have been a lot more rowdy at that challenge. The GOP Establishment people are a bunch little wimps.

“I love Newt, but this sounds like thin-skinned, never take responsibility for anything, Obama excuses.”

If you were a moral leper (and I have no reason to think you are), wouldn’t *you* stack a debate audience?

Seems pretty obvious to me.

Looks like you're the whipping boy for this thread.

Newt and his folks know that he wasn't up to par for the debate and have acknowledged it. They noted the incongruity of the standing ovations Mitt was getting, some for pretty lame and incomplete thoughts. Since Mitt is the establishment's guy, I have no doubt they will extend their smears against Newt to covert support of Mitt. "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you".

GSW - Perhaps I wasn't the intended recipient of this post, but…

I have never stated I thought the Speaker had a "bad debate".
That is being propagated by the American Idol crowd, and of course the "poll watchers".
I do not watch television and haven't for decades.
This leaves me unaffected by the sewage the typical American PAYS to have pumped into their homes.
I also trust the American voter, those not standing in line for their "Obammie Check".
I feel he did just fine given the substance.
What are you looking for in these "debates"?
They are at best a charade.
Newt stepped into a room full of hockey and came away without stench.
Nothing to whine about here…

Debt: Resolved in short order, if we are serious about it.
Energy: See above.
Jobs: A result of the above.
Solution: Newt 2012 + You!
