George Will on This Week Today...
A new poll out from Florida shows Mitt Romney with a 15-point lead over Newt Gingrich, and on ABCs This Week today, Jake Tapper asked how Gingrichs Florida numbers will end up impacting the rest of the race. George Will didnt mince words, declaring right out that Gingrich does not have time on his side, and the more time he has, the more he talks, and the more he talks, the more he makes somewhat divisive remarks.
To get his point across, Will recited a short poem depicting a little girl who exhibited the extremes of politeness and rudeness, coming across as extremely horrid in the case of the latter. And Will argued that were at the horrid stage with Newt Gingrich. Donna Brazile pointed to the big coalition Romney has been able to build in Florida by campaigning there for months and encouraging many people to be early voters.

(47 posts)1. My mom recited a poem
to us kids when we were young.
There was a girl with a curl on her forehead
When she was good, she was very very good
When she was bad, she was horrid.
'cept where is the 'good' part of Newton?
