Gingrich is giving a series of addresses around the state, wth a particularly important one tomorrow regarding the Space Industry. His ideas are his campaign. The debates were one format, but since they have turned into the equivalent of a boring TV morning-show, they’re not a good format.
The debates have brought him to where he is now. Ideas or not, without the numerous debate format, he wouldn’t have been in the position he’s in now without them.
Some might disagree with me, to which I’ll point out that Gingrich was frequently on the Fox News Channel over the past years, and I cannot recall one thread here speaking favorably about his ideas.
