I said back in the beginning of the primary that Newt would be a great candidate if it was not for all his baggage.
I think if Romney could hire Newt to teach him how to debate using facts we might have a winning horse!
Romney has that soft spoken voice like Reagan had but does not seem to have the "off the cuff" witt that Regan had.
As a whole the group in lack luster which helps Romney shine.

But it is not hard to shine when you are in the middle of a pile of coal!
