Newt Considers a Run for RNC Chairman
2008-11-07
HT No Pasaran!

The word among GOP insiders here in Georgia is that Newt Gingrich is considering throwing his name in the hat to be the next Chairman for the RNC.

As Georgia Republican Leadership meet today to plan for the expected run-off of Saxby Chambliss against Jim Martin, my sources tell me Gingrich is having meetings to discuss his own race.

Newt is best known for leading the charge for the Contract with America. It is this famed Contract that has been credited for the Republican take-over of the US House and Senate in 1994. It is also well believed among traditional Republicans that it has been the abandonment of this contract by elected Republicans that has lead to their downfall.

I think Newt has a rare, true leadership ability to make things happen, and speak clearly on the principles of conservatism. He isnÂ’t perfect, but IÂ’m all for him taking this position. It would be a step in the right direction.

#5  Newt is an excellent debater, a good politician, a great strategist, a terrible candidate. If he stays at this level, great

#2  Baggage. Too much baggage. Tolerated in a Democrat, absolutely not allowed to a Republican

#1  I admire and respect Newt for his intelligence and his commitment to conservative principles. While far from perfect, his ability to clearly and effectively communicate the benefits of conservative governance for all Americans is needed now more than ever.
