Newt Gingrich-Serving up the Red Meat to Hungry South Carolinians
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.
