Give Newt Gingrich credit. He brought his campaign back from near disintegration to front-runner status, and did it the old fashioned way - by just talking. The seemingly endless stream of GOP debates highlighted his gift for argument, debate, and hyperbole, and roused the sentiments of conservatives across the country who have been disappointed in succession by Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry. His lecture series may not have universal appeal, but it helped him win the endorsement of New Hampshire’s largest paper, the Union Leader.
