Newt's New Ad: Winning the Argument
— Ace

It features him at a debate, which is smart, as he's running on that, and opens up cleverly in a four-man shot of Romney, Perry, and Paul nodding as he speaks.

Pretty good.

Sorry about the hour away; I was doing the podcast thing.

Strange. He's really the only one that has been able to simplify it in plain english. He's exactly right in what he says. (BTW. Was noticing that the other candidates, EXCEPT LUAP NOR, were nodding their heads.)

21 I could feel a lot better about Newt as our nominee than Romney IF my preferred Gov. Perry doesn't get it. I'm hoping Perry can continue to gain favor under the MSM radar. I do like Newt's ads lately though..

Newt can sell himself as well as ideas.

What I like about newt is his ability to inform. It's stands in stark contrast to Obama. Obama can't teach. He can only tempt.

Newt is the consummate professor and Obama is the guy 'playing' the professor (no offense meant to R.Hinkley).

...what I don't like about Newt is that he has no internal editing software.

45 With a solid, non squish GOP majority in both houses of congress Newt would have to walk the walk.
If he were somehow able to get elected without that conservative mandate, (doubtful anyway) he would be an extremely dangerous wild card.

46 "Obama tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round Perdition's flames before I give him up."

Or if you prefer something a little more recent than KAAAAAAAHN!, you can always say, "Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure."

Same idea, really.

Or you could go old-school:

"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering SCOAMF; to the last I grapple with thee; from hellÂ’s heart I stab at thee; for hateÂ’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!"

56 I guess using snippets of the debate where he said he only got 300,000 from Fannie and Freddie for being their historian was out of the question. He didn't do so well either on being forced to backtrack on his criticism of Romney's use of the mandate. In a national election a similar mistake would be put on a continuous loop on the news. He's a bold debater but he's not a good debater.

Posted by: polynikes - Texan for Romney at December 27, 2011 12:43 PM (BsXKJ)

With a solid, non squish GOP majority in both houses of congress Newt would have to walk the walk.

I rather doubt anyone in Washington can even spell "conservative mandate" given the results from 2010's midterm thrashing of the Dims in the House.

WTF, if anything, has changed? We're still boned. Not one federal program has had its budget reduced and they're getting ready to raise the debt ceiling again. We're still swimming in red ink and there's no end to it. I coulda swore the House had the pursestrings, but you'd never know it.

We will collapse under the weight of the Socialist SCOAMF and his Cloward-Piven strategy of bankrupting the nation.

26 - I agree with all of that.

Newt's the best at articulating a message, but the problem is you don't know which one he believes in today or what he'll support tomorrow. He's aptly comparable to Cicero in terms of both debating skill and dubious loyalties, as well as his ability to inspire both admiration and spite.

Romney isn't going to inspire comparisons to any Roman politicians, on the other hand, suffers from the same ideological promiscuity, and I think his Mormonism's more of a stumbling block than many supporters fully appreciate - not personally, but among voters in general.

Perry would have to make a 120+ degree turnaround in terms of demonstating political skills to win me back. I'm still more than mildly astonished at how poorly he's performed given his level of experience in fairly high-profile races.

Right now I'm holding out for the slim chance another candidate seizes the opportunity to jump in late, a brokered convention, or First Contact with an alien federation of small government supporters. And no, Paulbots, that doesn't mean you.
