Newt at Cooper Union
If you happened to hear Bill Bennett's interview with Newt Gingrich yesterday--shortly before Gingrich was to leave for his debate last night with Mario Cuomo at Cooper Union in New York--then you already know who needs to be the next President; in fact it shouldn't even be in question. And if you actually watched the debate, well...
If you were not so lucky, the Cooper Union debate can be viewed here. But here is the shorthand version--and I could not agree more with Spruell's concluding graf:
During the subsequent Q&A with Russert (now down to just one crutch), he asked Cuomo which two candidates should win their party’s nominations in 2008. Cuomo played it safe and wouldn’t say which Democrat he prefers, but he did say that on the Republican side, “Newt would make a terrific nominee.” Watching from the audience last night, it looked like Cuomo wasn’t the only one on stage with that idea.
Mr. Speaker--as Phil Knight likes to put it: "Just Do It."
