Newt Gingrich Considers a Run For RNC Chairman
STACLU and The Digital Journal reported:
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.Hat Tip Larwyn
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.
Since his retirement from elected office, Gingrich has stayed involved in the political grind on many different levels. Newt has released several books, founded American Solutions, and has acted as a political analyst appearing on numerous political programs and radio talk shows.
The GOP needs a leader like Newt to lead the party out of this awful quagmire.
Newt also knows how to handle the Alinskyites on the Left.
Michael Steele, the current GOPAC Chairman, would also be an excellent choice for a leadership position.
If this turns out to be true, that would be the single best signal the Republican party could send that it's going to undergo the necessary changes to get conservatives back into power. Though he's been out of office for years, he hasn't lost any of his political punch - it was his efforts that culminated in the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Save Money" campaign that caused some serious heartburn for the Democrats that threatened their leadership in the House until the economy took center stage. Gingrich knows how to get things done, he's got a history of solid conservatism, and is well known as a competent and capable leader. I'm not as familiar with Steele, but I've heard nothing but good things about him, so I'd be comfortable with him, too. Either way, changes like this are necessary to get the GOP back in touch with the base and attract new folks during the Obamessiah's reign.
There's my two cents.
