Lol...he's so smart, I think he's a shoo-in...not saying I love him, he's not a good conservative, but I think he's figured out how to manage the people and the press:
"
Mr. Gingrich, a former House speaker, on Tuesday morning threatened not participate in any future debates with audiences that have been instructed to be silent. That was the case on Monday, when Brian Williams of NBC News asked the audience of about 500 people who assembled for a debate in Tampa to hold their applause until the commercial breaks."
Hold their applause...a nice way to effectively *silence* the appearance of support for an un-fave of the lib mob...

Maybe Newt would prefer it if the debates were held in the Roman Coliseum.
Aside from the aside, who the hell does Newt think he is to dictate the terms of the debate? Someone should tell Newt that this is supposed to be a debate of ideas and not a sporting event where unruly fans get to verbally participate like a bunch of drunken hooligans at a British soccer match.
Let him sit out the debate. Newt is perfectly free to take his ball and bat back to the hotel.
