Watching live and then reviewing the video here, neither depicts a large booing crowd as suggested, perhaps a barely audible grumble for less than 2 seconds - nothing to see here, move along - Newt Gingrich handled it quite well, frankly - perhaps better than Romney has - when all things are considered.

I was there, in New Hampshire, and I can tell you I had never in my long life, heard a more inspiring individual, on the political side of life, it is what it is, holding one's nose each time one has to walk into a booth to vote perhaps not this time. By the by, if anyone else was there, and managed to pick up the program book, you may have the impression that the debate on Monday (CNN Tea Party Express) will be a lot more interesting, (at least one can hope) - In my humble opinion, Palin is not like Ronald Reagan, nor Maggie Thatcher (although she can be compared ideologically), she transcends them both as she is more pragmatic. Oh, and the cherry on top of the chocolate cake? My soon to be voter eligible child who had sworn no interest in politics, actually listened and was inspired - in Massachusetts the youth are, for the most part, depressed, and with the new extension on unemployment benefits called for by the president, apparently understand that our current administration feels there is no hope for them of getting a job in the near future. (Anyone else notice that?) At first, I tried to maintain my objectivity through Palin's speech and be polite, but "Run Sarah Run" is rather contagious and I have a very loud mouth - she was humble and appreciative of our encouragement - old hippy here - she blew my mind – and I’ve been attending political speeches since the conventions in Miami in 1972.
