Mitt Romney's key debate line of late is that Newt resigned in disgrace over ethics charges. It's even featured in the most recent Romney advertisement (not his SuperPAC) running in Florida. I posted links the other day showing that the charges against Newt were political and that...

There's something Nancy Pelosi knows that no one else who was involved in the congressional investigation of Newt in the 1990s knows?  (BTW, this Byron York column on how politicized and wrong the ethics charges against Newt were is a must read.) Not even any of the anti-Newt Republicans...

Coming to gripes: A frank discussion of Mitt's Bain problem, in other words, something which is almost impossible now in conservative circles without being called "anti-capitalist" (h/t OCBill). Where are the hard drives?  Newt's campaign should be pushing this harder. National Review editors still don't like Newt. Washington Post columnists...

Did you hear what Andrea Mitchell said last night after the debate?  I did, and so did David Limbaugh. If true, abject panic is just below the surface: (video added, via Greg Hengler) We may be at Kübler-Ross Stage 4 over the prospect of a Romney nomination, but they...

Newt was very subdued on stage last night. I noted at the time that it probably was a strategy of not taking Romney's bait, but he needs to be more aggressive in defending when Romney attacks. The video below is being hyped by both the NY Times...

No Tweets of the Night (or cigarettes).  It just wasn't that good for me. Endgame assessment:  Very boring, strange debate.  Romney scored points at the start by going after Newt; Newt brought up history of Romney attacking others from 2008.  Newt did not take the bait...

It's no secret that Ann Coulter is no fan of Newt Gingrich. The staunch Romney supporter isn’t shy about conveying her dissatisfaction with Gingrich in general, and particularly with his straight forward, and occasionally harsh manner of speaking. Back in December, while the Romney Super PACs...
