Ari Fleischer: “I predict Newt Gingrich is going to win South Carolina.”

He’s one of the most in-touch modern presidents.

Critics note he made the announcement after getting hired to do P.R. for the Saudis' golf venture.

I support the president because if we don't, the risk abroad from our adversaries, Iran in this instance, Russia and Hezbollah, is severe.

I think you have to take it at face value he had reason to believe his staff, that's why he was so angry today about it.
