The Romney as Hillary Headline Finally Appears

Romney’s $10,000 Bet Trends Worldwide, While Gingrich Flunks History
While Twitter and the press were giddy over Romney’s $10,000 bet-pocalypse line, the serious gaffes of the night went to “historian” Newt Gingrich, who called himself a Reagan conservative, doubling down on his “invented” Palestinian line, which doesn’t come close to Reagan’s views at all.

John [...]
Rick Perry’s Latest Oops
