Morning Coffee Debate. Ramp Up NEWT!!!

We got light snow, now sun burning it off in Chicago. Watched on shudder MSNBC since local programming on. I am confirmed Newt for President, last night breakthrough, this morning--I think he was EXCELLENT taking on Mitt right off the bat--GO NEWT soften him up in NH ramp up to South Carolina. Tweet stream. Sorry, you'll have to read bottom to top:
Anne Leary
Sununu attacks ok but shows he knows Romney bombed debate RT : Wow Matthews just got scolded on air
Anne Leary
Romney ends his protestations of innocence on PAC by saying politics is not beanbag. Oh yeah, Romney is above the fray.He's just underhanded
Anne Leary
Romney caught out in a lie on his PAC ad says not watch but quotes nearly word for word. Illustrates Newt's point he's a phony.
Melissa Clouthier
Newt gives a good answer to the working with opposition. Mitt worked with the liberals well, because he was one of them.

Msnbc running the challenging Romney clips. Mitt prissy with Santorum but Newt lands the telling blow--Romney's a perennial pol--& a loser
Liz Mair
But setting aside the NYT referencing, the Bain stuff is still unnerving to voters, and not just Ds and Is, either.

Barf RT : Interesting that Huntsman's themes/definitions of trust and leadership are at odds w/ others on GOP stage.
Jonah Goldberg
Bleh. Hated Huntsman's "trust deficit" answer. You solve the trust deficit by doing your job. Not by "tackling the trust deficit."
