Re: There goes Gingrich '08?   [Iain Murray]

All I can say is that wasn't the Newt I gave a standing ovation to at the Oxford Union in 1985(I very rarely give standing ovations), nor the one who appeared at the National Review Institute Summit a couple of months ago. He seemed off his game somewhat, and was perhaps trapped by a desire to seem reasonable on the issue, which Kerry exploited to the full. I think Newt came for the advertised "discussion," while Kerry came to point-score and debate. That should have been foreseeable, shall we say.
