As for how he relates to the average man...all I can say is some of my first jobs required a certain degree of intellect and projecting that more than not. Within the work hours and outside as well. When I changed the community I was in and the type of work it was a whole new ball of wax to adapt to the people and their style of communication and understanding. I did struggle with that. Newt can come off as arrogant to some....but he's appealing to all levels of intellect...and he can do that for the most part.
What I am hearing and seeing in my workplace is people want someone who really does know what is going on in Washington....how to handle themselves in the halls of Washington... and they are done with those who do not have the experience to do that..... They realize it's not enough to "like" a candidate...they want them to at least know what they know....and many Americans have come along nicely in learning about elections, candidates etc. as never before.
Interesting take. All I can say is that this has been an interesting and somewhat frustrating election cycle so far and we have a long way to go before the final choice is made. May the best person win....and may it NOT be Paul or Romney! :)
(Sorry -bots...those two creep me out.)
Not YOU, Caww. :)
