Newt Will Not Run for President

Written by Sam on September 29th, 2007
Two days after hinting he wanted to try for the White House, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich decided he would not run for president, his spokesman said Saturday.

Rick Tyler said Gingrich realized he couldn’t run a political action committee — his American Solutions group — and form an exploratory committee to run for president as well.

“He will continue to bring the American people solutions to the challenges America faces through American Solutions, not as a candidate for president,” Tyler said in a telephone interview.

That’s too bad.  I really think he would have added a lot to the race and had he actually been able to get the nomination I think he would have given Hillary the smack down during the debates.

    We now return you to your regularly scheduled presidential campaign of soundbite warfare and sloganeering, with no actual accomplishments or purpose.

    Newt was just born in the wrong political system. If we lived in a parliamentary system, he would went down as a very good Prime Minister.
