Sure it was his usual collection of thoughtless bluster and nonsense dressed up to sound like actual, rational ideas.....but I thought his style/delivery were perfect for a presidential candidate. I'm never sure exactly how much something like a solid MTP performance helps a candidate, but I thought he was good today.
It seems the Sunday morning shows are turning into Republican-fest

Strangely, Newton is strong in Iowa. With Huckabee out, I don't know where the zealot religious conservatives will go to, though (hang in there, T-Paw! I know you want them! )

I think he's hoping to do well in Iowa, New Hampshire, to carry him into South Carolina.

I don't like him as a person. He resigned and didn't even complete his last Congressional term in office, due to the massive Republican reelection failure when he was Speaker.
