December 15--With the winter holiday season soon approaching, it seems as though Gingrich managed to ice skate his way past the harsh criticism that is often present with the debates. Yes, of course he faced some attacks (It wouldnt be a debate if he didnt) , but it was NOTHING compared to the criticism he dealt with during the december 10th debate. During the December 10th debate, Gingrich's personal life was attacked as Rick Perry stated "If you cheat on your wife, you'll cheat on your business partner. It's a characteristic people look at."
Could Gingrich's last of criticism have something to do with one of his rival opponents Romney being absent from the Debate? Without Romney being present, Bachmann chose to be the emcee of Gingrich's roast. She states that while many are trying to shut down the giants under the name of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Gingrich "had his hand out to influence senior Republicans to keep the scam going ". Gingrich soon fired back by stating that she had her facts all wrong.
Gingrich also blocked the attacks by receiving applause from the audience about his idea to abolish the courts of activist judges, Towards the end of the debate, the moderators helped Gingrich as well by making candidates defend negative attacks on each other and giving Gingrich a chance to talk about his positive campaign
Guess Gingrich had his skates on for this debate... Now onto the Caucuses for Iowa.
