By default. All the others have embarrassed themselves. Newt did too, but people have forgotten already.
This early in the campaign, not a lot of people are paying attention. Most people, of either party, are waiting until the primary campaign gets going, until most of the Republican candidates are 'voted off the island'. Most people aren't political junkies like we are.
So when the phone rings and it's a pollster asking 'Who do you plan to vote for?', your average guy can't say 'I don't even know who's running'. He has to come up with a name. The first name (or few names) that come to mind are the names he's been hearing on the news the last few days.
So any candidate who can get his name mentioned on the news a lot has an advantage. A couple of weeks ago that was Herman Cain. Cain staged his own little debate and invited all the other candidates to come and debate him.
The only one who came was Newt. So Newt got his name mentioned a lot in the media and he got a 'bump' in the polls. And that's logical--after all Newt is the biggest self-promoter of the bunch.
But don't worry. He won't do well in the primaries. For good or bad, Mitt Romney has the nomination just about locked up.
He's keeping a low profile these days, deliberately, because he knows he can't help his numbers through exposure, he can only mess up, as Bachmann, Perry, Cain, et al have done. His strategy is to lay low while the others all crash and burn. And so far it's working pretty well.
He is the last hope for a non-Mormon GOP. Everyone else in the anyone but Mitt club has shot themselves in the foot. Now he wants the young to opt out of Social Security and invest in the Stock Market he will fail too.
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.
