CNN's Gergen: Newt Launched One Of the Harshest Attacks on the Press in US History

David Gergen on Newt: Harshest attack on the press in a long time

 

DAVID GERGEN, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: Let me just talk about this.This is one of the most explosive moments we have seen in debate history. COOPER: In debate history? GERGEN: Debate history. It was also one of the harshest attacks we have had on the press that I can remember in a long, long time. It was very personal in the beginning. As a political matter, I think Gingrich saw a fast ball coming, and in front of this audience, he smacked it right out of the park. I think there is a reasonable chance, after talking to people here tonight, that he could win South Carolina based on that answer.
