David Brody of the Christian Broadcast Network is up with a post outlining reasons why Newt Gingrich is connecting with evangelical voters in Iowa despite the multiple marriages issue.

He says it boils down to Newt’s “lack of political correctness” on issues like “Radical Islam and Sharia Law,” “Judeo-Christian principles” and “liberal judges.” He notes it also has something to do with his delivery:

Gingrich speaks about these issues in such a unique, historical, artful and compelling way so even though other candidates may share his overall views, Gingrich wraps it up so neatly that audience members also get a history lesson at the same time. After hearing Gingrich, people leave campaign events feeling like they learned something.
