Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich had a very interesting interview with the New York Post. It’s definitely worth a read, as this guy could throw his hat in late for the Republican Presidential Nomination.
Some highlights:
- Says it’s no accident that Rudy Giuliani is polling very well due to his past leadership
- “Somebody who fits the mold of a normal, regular Republican will have zero possibility of winning the general election.”
- “The President is supposed to be the Commander in Chief. He’s not”
I think this guy deserves a serious look. Newt has been touring and interviewing lately promoting what I believe is the most conservative (and accurate) view on current events, when compared to any other presidential candidate. Now, maybe Newt just knows how to use the Media to promote his agenda best, but he seems dead on when it comes to the war, healthcare, immigration, and I believe he may be open to the FairTax (but don’t quote me on that, I could be mistaken). Check out his views at www.newt.org - read some articles and be informed. After that, think he should run? DraftNewt.org is demanding a 21st century Contract with America. One thing I especially like is his view on space exploration - he would prefer to see most space exploration done with prizes and tax incentives outside NASA.
It will be interesting to watch this unfold over the next six months. I personally think Newt will declare sometime in August/September and play the role of the reluctant candidate who is for the people. Now, will that resonate? We’ll find out.
What do you think?
