Newt Gingrich had one of his best debates of the 2012 presidential race on Monday night. The former House speaker began with the debate moderator challenging him on his earlier pledges to remain positive in the presidential campaign. Gingrich also headed off some questions about race that could have tripped up a lesser debater. Through it all, Gingrich was cool, calm and collected, picking his spots and coming off as the clear onstage alternative to frontrunner Mitt Romney— just as the other candidate for that position, former senator Rick Santorum was largely an afterthought and struggled to get his voice heard. This exactly what Gingrich needs. But even more so than Santorum, it appears Gingrich might have a little room to grow.
