Newt's style will only take him so far ~
- Thread starter buddy

The biggest casualty of the Republican presidential primaries (besides the dearth of viable national candidates) is the dumbing down of the debate format. Mr. Gingrich has been able to capitalize on the format's weaknesses simply by having the most outsized personality and intimidating the moderators with bogus attacks on the media.
Mr. Gingrich is great at deflecting questions and steering the discussion toward his preferred talking points, but he's not a great debater by any stretch. He's coasted on his reputation as the GOP's "big thinker" since the 1990s with little contradiction from an all-too-credulous national press corps.

This sums up the article pretty well.
Its amazing that Newt has been able to deflect the hard questions so easily without any retort when he is done shooting at something else.
Re-direct and nail him to the wall.
He thinks he is much smarter than he is.
I would venture to say Ron Paul is his equal in intelligence.
