Go Newt, Go!

I for one think that that Newt is the most serious of the presidential candidates in the race. As Jon Stewart says he bristles with "Dickishness", but I agree with Gingrich's statement that the Washington Press Corps is much happier covering chaos & scandal than actual issues. Even when this plays well for the Dems as it has with the Bachman & Perry gaffes, and Cain's stunning uncertainty about foreign policy-- Libya was just the latest in a series of "I really have no idea" foreign policy commentaries-- it does not serve to advance the necessary dialogue about how to solve real and complex issues. I would be glad to see the debate format Gingrich has proposed, a series of 3 hour dialogues with the President, the Republican nominee but no moderator-- where the ability to clarify and illuminate positions would be a requirement rather than a tactic to be avoided. Every time I see that Bachman clip where she responds to Cain's 999 plan with her speechwriter's "The devil is in the details" blather I want to throw my shoe at the TV. Gingrich is wrong on almost everything but he is no fool. He's not an idea man, but Americans could decide that for themselves in these longer formats. I saw this morning that he is now leading in one poll. Mitt is almost certainly a more formidable candidate for the president based on his slippery positions on almost everything. Gingrich would lay it all out there.  Better to battle the forces of evil head on then get in a debate with the tower of sand. Go Newt, you slimy bast***!
