he has come across, you know, in terms of being presidential, that that may not necessarily be a helpful spot for mitt. but you may be right. if he can just run the ads and not do the personal appearances or any more debates, that may have a way to zing him. but i think in the end, those commercials with pelosi and gingrich were national commercials. the people in iowa have already seen them. the stuff about gingrich has already been baked into this thing, so it will take a heck of a lot more to unbake it. >> i disagree, chris. >> and the way that happens is if newt does it himself. >> i disagree with michael. politics is my life, and i had never seen those pelosi and gingrich commercials before. i bet you no more than one or two out of 100 iowans have seen them. >> really? >> yeah. i think it's a shock to the sensibility of iowa conservatives to see any of their candidates sitting next to nancy pelosi. and you know i love nancy. but i also think, chris, that sometimes republican voters have to think about winnability.
