Newt Gingrich

Newt Gingrich is suddenly climbing in the polls. Up until now he has either been in the dark during the election or having negative things said about him. He has been criticized and doubted because of his past impressions and the 2 divorces he had. Another thing that makes him unpopular is his past with Bill Clinton. More recently he is being criticized for spending money on his wife. They say that he has spent thousands of dollars on her in Tiffany’s. Gingrich lost about 15 supporters who claim that he would rather spend time with his wife then campaign and put his all into his career.
As of recently Gingrich is starting to rise in popularity. He is getting closer and closer to being the front runner, as he is now standing next to Herman Cain and Mitt Romney. He is now raisin money and is overall doing a good job in getting more supporters and money donated to his campaign. It is a strong possibility that he could take the lead in this campaign, he is drastically changing his impressions on the public.
Although he was in a really bad position in June and July, he never gave up or dropped out. He stuck it out and now it is paying off for him. Some don’t buy it and think that his tone of voice is mean and intimidating. But close friends of his such as Rick Taylor, who says that he has an Authoritative assertiveness that could give off the wrong impression. He isn’t mean but some people could take his attitude and comments as being mean. He is very talented at making others feel small and foolish, by saying the right words in a certain tone but he doesn’t mean to be mean.
I’m not sure what he has done to make this sudden change in the public and their hearts but he definitely changed the election as of now. Or maybe the public is just starting to listen to him. His views and tactics are now being recognized and he is coming to the eye of the election. I feel like Gingrich is the last hope for the public. None of these candidates would make for a good president. At least for the front runners because they all have qualities that are undesirable. For example Mr. Cain is nuts, his views and political knowledge are very ignorant and Mitt Romney is a flip flopper. Romney doesn’t know what he believes in, doesn’t know which party he stands for and for someone like that to be president will be bad because he will flip flop on the important issues and actions that the government will lead our country to.
Overall Gingrich is standing out, he came up tied with Mitt Romney for second place with Herman Cain in first place in the CBS news poll for republican primary votes. I feel that he should all listen up and figure out who will be the better president in the long run.
