It has been very exciting to watch the GOP candidates race for the position to duke it out against Obama in the upcoming election. This is partially due to the fluctuating polls for the candidates, and the highs and lows of their campaigns. Although it seemed like Romney was the head honcho among the republican candidates for a while, Gingrich has made a surprising surge to the front of the pack and is continuing to gain popularity all over the nation.
This proved legitimate when New Hampshire began to support Gingrich. And as a a newspaper reported this subject, one such New Hampshirian discussed Gingrich and the role that the president should play. "We don't have to agree with them on every issue," the newspaper wrote in an editorial that ran across the width of the front page. "We would rather back someone with whom we may sometimes disagree than one who tells us what he thinks we want to hear." This idea that a president should never be a people-pleaser but a real person with their own opinion has continued to rise in the state of New Hampshire at least, and may prove to be Gingrich's key to the presidency. "
"Newt Gingrich is by no means the perfect candidate," McQuaid wrote. "But Republican primary voters too often make the mistake of preferring an unattainable ideal to the best candidate who is actually running."
