I thought it was bad i was put in an ad with osama bin laden. it looks mild compared to this republican primary. >> theres a debate tomorrow night. will mitt romney deliver the attacks to newt gingrichs face. >> i think he will. i think he has to. i dont know, ed. you and i have talked about hout he needed to go on the offensi e offensive. i guess we should have said if he could do it effectively. i cant believe how ineffectively hes done it in the last couple days. governor dean is right. this ...
