Newt Gingrich had a bad record when he was a speaker of the house and that is when he resigned. And because of that, if he was the nominee, Obama would easily attack him through negative ads which is why most people would rather have a candidate with a good record to fend off negative ads.
Because he's a scorhed earth candidate. He doesn't refute his rivals...he tries to destroy them. Now I'm not saying he himself hasn't been destroyed by Romney and Ron Paul but Gingrich isn't the kind of guy who can run a negative ad.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
