With great triumph comes the great demise of critical attention. Since his rise Newt Gingrich has been the headliner of many media outlets.



This video above explains all of Newt Gingrich’s scandals that are arising as his campaign rises. As usual constituents have vast opinions on this matter. It seems as though no GOP Presidential candidate is safe from the attacks of the media and American citizens. In essence, no detail of ones life will go unstated or evaluated; especially a Presidential candidates. People sarcastically say, “Thumbs up for separation of corporation and state”. Gingrich was paid over one million for advising the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It is said that he did no lobbying for the organization but the idea and allegations still remain. He has been under the knife for being a “hypocrite” and stating in the past that people who obtain money from corporations are lobbyist and yet now he is being called out as one as well.

The question that is arising is why is New Gingrich rising in the polls?
Aside form the fact that the other GOP candidates lack authority or decline because of their own misfortunes there are several reasons to his upsurge. His personality seems to be a key factor, as he is viewed as highly charming and approachable. The other factor would be his resume as he has a long line of citizen support. He was very responsible for budget balancing in the 1990s and enacted welfare reform. His important partner was Bill Clinton at the time but that’s an aspect he doesn’t speak of, as it would alter the shine from his accomplishments to him working with the former President. His travel and outspoken advocacy around the nation has proved to be valuable to the candidacy.

Many voter speculations have surfaced about Gingrich. People view him as a wife cheater and this isn’t a good look for a conservative Republican. Many view that him using political influence to make money makes him a lobbyist. Everyone who has been on the top of the GOP pyramid has gotten his or her fare share of gossip and Newt Gingrich is not safe from this.

"I do no lobbying of any kind. I never have. A very important point I want to make. I have never done lobbying of any kind," Gingrich told Fox News Channel.

Newt Gingrich is rising and some may speculate him to be the Mitt Romney’s competition. In time we will see if these allegations that arose about him will affect his campaign. Although he said to have had done no lobbying people will not let this go. The scandal about him handing divorce papers to his wife as she lay in the hospital with cancer is one that will not go over easily. Newt Gingrich has a lot of explaining to do as every other candidate has had to do.
