HOW he speaks is clear and unhesitatingly interesting.
WHAT he says is aligned with what I think I think about politics
The (presumed) thought processes behind his words make a psychic connection with me and I believe with many other Americans.
His plans appear to be mathematically do-able.
All in all, If we were ever faced again with an attack or other dynamic, Newt's voice (ala Bush 9/11 9/12) would be (imo) more mature and acceptively directive than Rick's younger sounding voice, Romney's too clean with no conviction voice, or Paul's squeaky, I told you so voice.
Political speakers are highly discerned and criticized by church goers accustomed to, and desiring spoken words that make enough sense that we will volunteeringly sit for a long, quiet time and actually listen to those words and want to do something based on those spoken words.
That's Newt Gingrich
Most appropriate observation.
Newt knows his subject matter and presents it with confidence but not arrogance. He converses with us - not at us.
He has no equal in clearly describing complex issues. Santorum stumbles and Romney mumbles. They do not have that essential quality we expect in a POTUS - Newt does.
My sentiments PRECISELY
He really is an interesting guy to just listen to... incredible intellect but never a bore
