This, if true, and combined with Romney’s “I’m not worried about the poor” comment (the latter of which was poorly worded but taken out of context - to be fair), could end his campaign very quickly. If they don’t do that, they will severely damage him (particular the tickets story). This will utterly neutralize any claims that Newt is corrupt, etc.
He gives me the creeps just looking at his darting eyes and bobbing all over the place when he talks, and that nervous laugh he gets is just to much.
