GOP Updates - Gingrich Makes A Comeback, Romney and Cain Contest First (Current Event #4)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/newt-gingrich-gops-consummate-survivor-is-back-on-his-feet/2011/10/29/gIQAG6rYTM_story.html?hpid=z4


After Newt Gingrich's disastrous campaign collapsed due to debt earlier this year, many thought he was done for good. However, due to his recent performances in debates, his fan base seems to be growing. Herman Cain, whom many consider to be Mitt Romney's biggest challenger, continues to make mistakes every time he speaks. Most believe that Romney is currently holding a strong first, followed closely by Cain and/or Gingrich.


Newt Gingrich is gaining ground slowly, hoping for an upset. He consoles his disciples stating simply that “If you’re with me, I think we will win the most decisive election in modern times, and I think we will win it by a shockingly big margin.” 


Only time will tell who will gain the Republican nomination, but until then, I believe it is very important that we pay close attention to the similarities and differences between the candidates, as that will be the deciding factor for who gets their name on the ticket.

I feel hopeful of Gingrich, he has had a rough campaign thus far. I'm sure if he doesn't win the nomination, he will still be a big decider in who will get the nomination as he will sway voters away from the front runners.
