Gingrich for the Win!

Although Romney has led the GOP campaigning for most of the season, a surprise turn of events occurred at the South Carolina Primary. Seemingly out of nowhere, Gingrich won! Everyone has been getting over the shock of this incredible come-back that Newt has made in the race for the presidency. However, if you watched the GOP debate between the last four candidates (Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul), it may not be so surprising that supporters put their votes in for Newt. At the debate, one of the first questions asked was to Gingrich concerning his personal affairs with women and his asking his wife for an open relationship. Gingrich reacted angrily and strongly, shocked that they would begin a debate like that. Although this may seem like "new dirt", the crowd actually loved the way Gingrich stood up to the question, and cheered for his strength and confidence. I'm sure this birthed a new hope that someone can stand up to Obama, too. I think in the beginning of the debate, Gingrich's strong opinion made him seem like a loose cannon, but I think people are realizing that we need strong opinions in the White House if any progress is going to be made in this country.
