I think O could hold his own, granted McCain wasn't a great debater but he didn't really give Obama much of a challenge.
Newt has a deep knowledge of history he draws from to make parallels. He's also often very selective and manipulative. Perhaps that's why Jim thinks... "liberal alternatives always been a disaster."
The biggest factor against Newt in a debate is that he often comes off as smarmy. People really don't like him all that much.
Additionally, Newt relies on well thought out angles to make his points, but often misses the heart of what people really care about.
