John Dickerson:
“No candidate spans the rheostat more than Gingrich, who can go from
sweet to sour in seconds. As the Gingrich candidacy gains traction in
the polls, the key questions are going to be about temperament,
discipline, and character. Those are important with any candidate — but
with Gingrich they are especially so… But now Gingrich will face the
pressures of being a front-runner, which means reliving that period
during the 1990s when his disapproval rating was in the high 70s. He
will face a lot of questions about his temperament and discipline, most
of which he’ll undoubtedly think are stupid. Whether he says so will
tell us something about his temperament this time around.”
