ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has got a "big head." "Big head," which is something one "gets" or "is getting," is a colloquial phrase (not used as commonly as it once was) that doesn't refer to the actual size of a person's head (although in Gingrich's case, comedian Stephen Colbert often makes an exception) but to an over-inflated ego brought on by fortuitous circumstances or seemingly undeserved arrogance. Gingrich has taken a double-digit lead in the national presidential preference polls and is now telling anyone who'll listen that he will be the next Republican presidential nominee and the race will come down "Newt and Not-Newt." With confidence born of a few poll wins, the so-called historian is flat-out ignoring recent history's constant repetition of elevating and discarding GOP candidates. Simply put: Gingrich appears to have acquired a "big head," although it could be argued that he has had one for years.
