You really believe this? Gingrich does "ok" at the debates. He has not scored a knockout punch at any of them. What makes you think Obama is concerned with debating him. Just because he can remeber three items at the same time does not make him a genius. Gingrich's debating skills are similar to Cheney's. He doesn't get rattled, and he has the ability to say outrageous things with a straight face. On other hand, his extremely dislikable personality shines through.
opinion is all we have, you have yours, I have mine, but I will add, most of the media, regardess of what you are reading or watching other than maybe MSNBC would agree on his debating ability.
Dr. Newton Gringrich has a better grasp of world history and the issues than Obama the Harvard lawyer that never had a paying client or was able to get a job with a real employer.
Obama graduated Magnum *** laude from Harvard Law.
He did work for an acutal Law Firm, thats how he met his wife.
She was a lawyer as well,and he was a consitutionsal Law Professor,at the University of Chicago.
and like I said Obama has debated Paul Ryan and Tom Coburn
two intellectual power houses, for 7 hours straight along with other
member of the republican house and senate on live TV.

But, but, but....Obama can only talk on TV if he has a teleprompter!
...he's a good debater but then Barack Obama decides not to debate.
Seriously, you have to consider it.
If I was Obama, I wouldn't debate. He's the sitting President. Why should he debate when all he'd do is play defense all night long? In 2008, there was no incumbent so a debate was a natural thing. But Obama doesn't have to debate if he doesn't want to. The debate would be all about a criticism of him and what he's done for the last 3.5 years. No matter who his opponent is in a debate, he can't win. Remember the movie "War Games" with a young Matthew Broderick and the computer and the tic tac toe game where the computer learned the only strategy was not to play? If I was Obama, that would be my strategy, too. No debates.
If Obama didn't debate, he would have learned this from Rick Perry.
I assure you had he debated Bill White, the election would have been much closer.
C'mon, some of you Republicans need to stop beating around the bush and just say it: you don't like any GOP candidates running in the field. With Huntsman and Paul being put aside because they are willing to go against the grain the far right wingnut politics, you guys might as well go "eeny meeny miney mo."
Obama has been a horrible president, but he looks well qualified compared to the hypocrites the GOP base is supporting.
Seriously, you guys are laughable. Romney??? Gingrich??? Perry??? Bachmann??? This is the sorriest GOP field I have ever seen and my conservative friends say the same thing.
I suspect that if you actually do have any GOP friends, they just say what they think you want to hear because they know discussing politics in a serious fashion with you is pointless. You're an Obamalemming, and there's no sense in arguing with one.
And yeah, Obama has been a horrible president. If you really believed that, you'd stop campaigning for him.
^this is a link to a Gingrich - huntsman debate. it is about 2 hours long.
i watched most of this yesterday. gingrich sounds like he knows what he's talking about, with certain issues. he might make a good VP to somebody. it's a shame his economic policy is so awful.

Whoa, baby!
I know that Obamaphobes like to fantasize with all kinds of scenarios to make their psychic pain a little less intense.
But let's say you can't vote for Gingrich for any reason because he's not the nominee.
Regardless which clown the Pubs unhappily settle on, Obama will gladly meet him at high noon in public for a verbal showdown.
