Not really. It wasn't about profit, it was about Newts conflict of interest and Newt looked extremely off balance...

Mostly with respect to the point that all the money made by companies he owned doesn't necessarily go to him.

Clearly none of these jokers read the FCIC report.

The scale of the deduction Santorum just proposed would explode the deficit all over again.
 
Oh god, for anyone who thinks Newt can stand up to Obama in debate - this debate should prove otherwise.

If Mitt with his bland attacks can make Newt almost self-combust, imagine what Obama will do to Newt in a debate.

Newt doesn't know how to do the front-runner thing. He can't play holier-than-thou without coming off as stupid.
 
You guys saying Mitt can't land blows are crazy. Mitt got Newt to basically admit he was a lobbyist and poorly explain it as "public advocacy". I'll be surprised if Newts poll numbers survive this.

Yeah. Mittens is dominating this debate right now. Newt's on defense and every attack he tries to throw out just gets brushed off by Mitt.

Mitt is winning Florida.
 
It seems people here are viewing it two ways.

Some people here think Mitt is tearing Newt apart, while others think Mitt is mostly hurling a bunch of empty jabs. I'm in the latter camp.

Clearly Rombot has been coached to go on a furious attack. But it still comes off completely pre-programmed. It doesn't look like he's thinking, just endlessly reciting attack cards from his handlers. At least Newt looks and sounds like he's actually thinking.
 
Brian Williams is sucking the air out of this debate except for the 2 minutes where he let Romney go after Gingrich.
 
Was waiting for the Cuban question to come up. This is Florida, after all. Dunno that Mitt's answer is enough to save him from the Hispanic vote.

Lol, Newt just said Fidel Castro is going to hell.

Ya Romney does seem like he's reciting memorized attacks moreso than Newt, but Romney isn't too bad at talking either.

I hope Obama has been doing non-stop debate practice and studying every major issue that could come up this Fall.

Mitt is just never going to look as comfortable as Newt does, but Newt hasn't really been able to answer anything either.

Honestly if Newt can't run roughshod over the debates, his balloon deflates pretty quickly. His whole surge is based on the notion that he can tell Obama he's a foreign Muslim Commie to his face.
