Remember the YouTube I put up of Chomsky and Buckley a while ago? I imagine that the result will be something like that. That's, quality wise, terrific. Pete, great initiative by Gingrich.

Yep Newt is a heck of a guy. I would like to see debates held that use the Lincoln-Douglas format no doubt, but without Newt anywhere near them. “How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep investigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn’t get out of the way of a hurricane.”…..all 22,000 weren’t from the 9th Ward, and the hurricane didn’t directly hit N.O., infact it twas the levees that the Army Corps of Engineers guranteed to the public that failed.

This is what makes the long campaigns worth the effort for those of us trying to determine who is the most pragmatic one to lead us. I also hope Newt is successful in promoting these debates.
