Gingrich's Guts

In interviews with residents of South Carolina,many cited personal reasons rather than political as their motives for voting for Gingrich in the Election. My own personal stance on this is that the first aspect a voter should take into account is the concrete plans the candidate has to change for the country. In this case, some of Gingrich's main being his proposals on how to fix Social Security and immigration problems. This past Saturday, Gingrich celebrated his victory over opponent mitt Romney in the South Carolina primary. Voters were supportive of his tendency to speak out against his rivals and also to confront the media earnestly and with nerve. His "guts" proved to be an attractive attribute in this election. As one local resident Harold Wade said, "I think Mitt Romney is a good man. But I think we've reached a point where we need someone who's mean." I think that this is a good point, but it does not necessarily signify that Gingrich can promote real change.
