Sooo, you ask a question - and then answer it...
Obama is brilliant; he's the incumbent - and he has inside knowledge that Newt isn't privy to...
So, yes, I would expect Obama to win a debate against Newt.
There's nothing brilliant about a reader.
If Obama starts telling lies and Newt catches him in the lie and exposes him he won't be able to lie his way out of it convincingly.
The way he held his own against McCain was by knowing the questions ahead of time and having prepared answers ready for it. McCain ether didn't know how to respond or he refused to.
Oh yes....same old "Obama can't speak without a telepromter" nonsense
Obama trounced McCain regardless of the debate format. There were no telepromters for either side. Candidates did not know the questions in advance, but Obama was prepared.
He will also be prepared to discuss Newts proposed policies and what they would mean to the American people
