John McCain gave the world Sarah Palin and John King has given the world Newt

Gingrich. We know how badly the Palin deal ended and we can almost predict how terrible the Newt deal could be. Just collecting my thoughts.

1. Silly.

Sarah Palin was a NOBODY before John McCain elevated her from governor of a low-population state with less than two years of experience to a platform on the national stage.

Newt Gingrich has been around forever, and in the media spotlight since at least 1994. No one GAVE us Newt.

4. John King should never have started off the debate with that question.

That kicked Newt off with the audience, because he was right. Of all the important issues to cover, that John King would START with a personal scandal about one of them was lacking in journalism expertise. He could've gotten away with it later on in the debate, but to kick it off with that? The audience liked Newt's anger at that, because he was right. Bet the debate moderators don't make that mistake again.
