I’ve been making this comparison for a few weeks now.

Gingrich is America’s Churchill.

Anyone who knows Churchill’s history of rejection by the Brits, and finally an acceptance of him as the man for that time, knows that the comparison is apt.

This is an outstanding article.

Gingrich is Churchill.

This is a time of crisis, and Gingrich, with all his warts, is the want for this time.

His competition pales in comparison to his ability, experience, and knowledge.

Thanks for posting that, xzins. Wish I had time to sink my teeth into this topic, but other concerns are pressing today :(

Interesting way to look at it.

While the men have far different lives, the way they are percieved in their time may be an apt comparison.

"The "brilliant failure" derided as a "genius without judgment" turns out to be the man of hard earned wisdom with rock hard principles and the best judgment after all. The man once seen as "erratic" is suddenly recognized as the man whose bone-deep understanding of history, strategy and human nature gives him the steely ability to see over the horizon while all around him are essentially blind. And displays the supreme virtue of being unafraid to act."

Sounds right on to me.

Many similarities, but Newt does not have Churchill’s sense of humour.
