Sorry to hear this. I think Newt can only help Newt by being the ‘big ideas’ guy. This just damages both men.
True, this damages them both. And we can anticipate a return volley with Santorum &/or Mitt utilizing the big flubs Gingrich had (think Pelosi and Global warming, Scozzofava etc). In the end, I prefer the candidates vet each other rather than live the election results of ‘08.
