Tea Party debate could be Newt’s turnaround

Sitting in the Commodore Theater in Portsmouth, Virginia, I was surprised about how relatively little enthusiasm there was for folks like Michelle Bachmann or Ron Paul. Romney and Perry came off exceptionally poorly.

Herman Cain got some kudos. Santorum got some cheers when he remembered his social-conservative roots.

But Newt was superb.

Asked whether the other candidates are scaring off voters with their Social Security talk, Newt Gingrich said, “I’m not particularly worried about Gov. Perry and Gov. Romney frightening the American people when President Obama scares them every single day.”

It got by far the biggest cheer of the night.

When the moderator asked about oil companies having tax breaks and shouldn’t those be eliminated, Newt said “I thought for a second you were going to refer to General Electric, which has paid no taxes.”

“Doesn’t he realize that every green tax credit is a loophole?”

Newt hit his favorites. He balanced a budget. He “cheerfully opposes raising taxes.”

It really was a stellar night for him, and he needed one badly.

Romney and Perry duked each other early and often, quoting from each other’s books. CNN, having no interest in any Republican candidates doing well, set the debate up to dwell on Social Security and Medicare for the first 30 minutes. So, it was about Romneycare and Perry calling Social Security unconstitutional.

Perry defended tuition breaks for illegal immigration. Huntsman (doing nothing but taking up tv time here) got beat up for illegal immigration driver’s licenses.

A big issue was forced immunizations for HPV that Perry issued through executive order, and Bachmann nailed him for saying he did it for a drug company that was a big donor for him.

But we really spent very little time on the number one issue in America, getting our economy moving again.

That’s CNN’s fault.

Polling will show what happens to the field. If Bachmann was going to rebound, this would be when, and she did enough to give herself a chance again.

The only problem is will any of these bullets knock Rick Perry down to reality from his amazingly high early numbers. And was Romney too wounded to take advantage if that happens.

If Perry and Romney stumble coming out of this, and Bachmann doesn’t benefit, Newt now has a serious debate victory in my opinion to make this anyone’s race.
