I think this is part and parcel of being an historian. Their knowledge base has to be immense.
While I can’t get into the man’s heart to see what’s there, I do get the sense in watching him, that what he says is sincere. Six to eight weeks ago, I would’ve scoffed at the idea of voting for Gingrich...but not anymore.
I read an article about Gingrich not so long ago....I believe it was in the leftist rag ESQUIRE......very long article but worth the read. Out county republican chairperson said the most down to earth political person she has ever spoke to ws Gingrich. She was cleaning up after a lincoln day dinner and it was her and her husband and son in the building and then newt walked out of a back room. He said he was beat and asked her and her family to sit down and chat......they talked for hours and not about politics. Interesting to hear that about a person who has has the aspiration to run for the highest office in the land for quite some time. Maybe it is his time or his destiny. In a battle of wits, I believe newt would take down all takers on the Republican side of the battle and would eviscerate O in any debate format.
