I think the Bain attacks are definitely going to hurt Newt as well. They could also hurt Romney.
Now that Barack Obama has broken this egg, it will not get put back together.

Newt doesn't have a record for staying silent when things are said about him.
I will predict to you that Mitt Romney is very shortly about to take the gloves off and go after Newt Gingrich.
He can be on the 3 a.m. phone call until January 19, 2013. Then it's going to change on the line.
The typical things that we think are red meat just aren't working this year.
We can never racially profile. I will say it right now. It's just wrong for law enforcement of any type to say we're going after one targeted group.
