Blaiming the media is scandal recovery tactic #1 but this was different. The scandal is old news. Newt already admitted to making mistakes, he hasn't run from it, he's owned it.
What CNN tried to do was cheap and Newt earned the multiple standing ovations South Carolina gave him. I'm glad he went on the agrresive and I hope that influences how future debates are moderated.
Very low class of the moderator trying to deflect responsibility for asking the question too. Own your mistake like Newt has CNN.
I still don't think Newt will win the nomination, and don't love his chances in a general election, but I'd shell out big money to sit front row and watch him absolutely dismantle Obama in a debate.
I agree with the above. To interview an EX wife, one who was left for another woman...

Yeah, right... everything she said must be true.
I'm not trying to defend his actions. I think he's a creep and obviously so is his current wife. She went out with a married man, that's a NO-NO in my book. (The ex-wife also went out with him as a married man.) However, I would not trust anything any disgruntled ex-spouse had to say about their former parter. CNN has lost a lot of credibility with me. Anyone that gets off on that sort of media shouldn't have anything negative to say about FOX-News.
Paul is winning me over, big time! He addresses the roots of our problems and I like that. He uses common sense. I think we need someone like him to bring both sides of America together.
