The Intellect of the Party

Newt Gingrich looks beyond the partition and takes the measure of a man:

"We have very different personalities and different styles," Gingrich told me recently. "You have to measure Boehner against other Boehners -- you can't measure him against me."

Sounds like he's describing the Republican presidential primaries. Or his strategy for defeating Sarah Palin in those primaries.

Because otherwise that makes no sense.
