Florida’s 2012 debate proves our previous point about Newt Gingrich, Newt does best when he is serving up “red meat“. If there is a tent revival hallelujah adrenalin pumping style debate that’s where he shines.  However, if there is any level of substance deeper than an inch of water he drowns – and mostly in his arrogance – because he comes into these debates ill prepared because he is higher IQ that all of us. At least that’s what he believes.

Over and over again last night we saw Gingrich taken apart-from the lunar colony lunacy to blindly going after his fellow republican Romney for being successful and financially well off as a result-or living the American dream.  We said it before and we’ll say it again, we are not electing a debater, perhaps after last night’s debate Gingrich will stop the silly rhetoric that we need to nominate someone who can beat Pres.

Not a single talking-head is calling Newt’s win in South Carolina for what it really is – he served up the “red meat” to the hungry. The debate wins were not academic lessons on policy, they were good old fashion bible preaching tent  rallies, where everyday good people were energized and  rolling in the aisles.  The problem with these spiritual revivals is that the good feelings are often fleeting. We will need more substance and less “red-meat” from Newt if he is going to present a serious challenge to President Obama. The plain and simple facts are that Newt will not make mince meat of Obama in a debate. Obama is not only pretty darn bright, he has command of the stage, and he’s a Harvard Grad of the most dangerous kind, one with “street smarts”. He will not stand still for Newt’s “red-meat” debate style, he will filet the former speaker. We need substance, not debaters.
