Not just another shameless plug...

Last week I fell into a deep hole called my senior project, and today I am emerging to find that Newt Gingrich is still gaining ground in the polls.  And, I hope this is an indication that, not only are conservative voters laying aside personal opinions and thinking about the big, national picture, but that they are getting serious about choosing a candidate for president.  During the GOP debate last week, a Twitter follower commented that it seems like most of the candidates were saying what people wanted to hear and not what they needed to hear.  Yes, this is a campaign.  However, the candidate that is willing to put the country above his campaign will probably be the president that will be willing to what is right, even at risk of his re-election.  Right now, we are watching President Obama make political decisions, like rejecting the Keystone pipeline, that will help him keep his following but not his country. I think Mr. Gingrich is making it very clear that this he is not running a campaign, he is fighting for the cause of America and the freedoms we cherish.
