It is hard to believe that the Republican Party would be collectively stupid enough to nominate Newt to oppose Obama. I agree with Richard: the Democrat operatives are bound to be sporting big smiles today. If the Republicans want to win a debate, Newt can do that. If they want to win a presidential election, they’d better choose Santorum or Romney.

In the party’s formal response, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels denounced the speech as “pro-poverty” and Mr Obama’s tactics as divisive. “No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favour with some Americans by castigating others,” Mr Daniels said. ‘
