    Anybody think Gingrich will be forgiven enough to make Candidate after he Spearheaded campaign to impeach Clinton for his sexual misadventures when Newt himself was having an affair?

    Edit: have no idea were kopti has gone but ATM they are trying to prove who came from the poorest background as a feather in their cap!

    It's hard to tell how big an impact his affair will have. He has plenty of other skeletons in his closet though if that doesn't prove to be an effective attack vector.

    Ron Paul has a pretty hard-hitting ad running against him regarding his hypocrisy.

    That part where they all tried to one-up each other about who was the poorest was cringeworthy.

    Lol at the analyst who said Gingrich "Won because he did not lose"

    the rest said Gingrich had won hands down.

    this was a relay from ABC for the those who did not watch.

    Has ABC news in general got a reputation for relative neutrality in US Politics
    or is it considered one-sided?

    Edit: it is over now and in general i found the ABC panel to be well balanced.
    It certainly was not Fox News style.
    it was all about the upcoming Iowa Caucus so i imagine it was only shown locally on TV.

    There are whispers now that Ron Paul may run as a third candidate next year. This would obviously split the vote on the Right and make Obama a shoe in...

    If you ask the 'right,' in the US then anyone except Fox news is one-sided and biased. I find most of them to be reasonably balanced though (apart from Fox obviously.)

    I prefer to get my news online though, bbc, us.cnn.com and the guardian website. The guardian is of course left wing but I find that they at least have journalistic standards and integrity.
