"Is Newt Gingrich America's Churchill?"

That's the question Jeffrey Lord of American Spectator asks.

It's much too long to quote a whole lot, but one of my favorite parts:

On July 24th of 1939, a sign suddenly appeared on the Strand in London reading simply:

What Price Churchill?

Lord concludes with:

What do all these polls showing Newt Gingrich on the rise actually mean? What is it that a growing number of Republican voters are asking after each of these debates?

They appear to be asking the American 2011 version of what the British people abruptly found themselves asking in that long ago summer of 1939.

What price Gingrich?
