Gingrich’s rise is due to one thing: Bachmann, Perry, and Cain receded. That and the weaknesses of Romney made Gingrich rise. But turning the GOP into a socialist party is not the answer.
I support Gingrich not because all the others ceded, as you believe, but because he's a strong conservative with persuasive ideas who can win and in that effort, teach America why Conservative principles are right and just. So...stick it.
