Newt Comes Out Swinging

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Dismissing the GOP presidential field as a "pathetic" bunch of "pygmies," Newt Gingrich hinted Monday he might step in to beat Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
"If, in mid-October, it's quite clear that one or more of the current candidates is strong enough to be a serious alternative to a Clinton-Obama ticket, you don't need me to run," the former House Speaker said at a breakfast sponsored by the American Spectator. "If it becomes patently obvious, as the morning paper points out, that the Democrats have raised a hundred million more than the Republicans, and at some point people decide we are going to get Hillary unless there's a radical change, then there's space for a candidate," he added. "So you'll know by mid-October one of those two futures is real."

Asked by the Examiner if he was prepared to commit to a run, Gingrich said, "I'm perfectly happy to do what I do," he said. "Whether that leads to the presidency is the country's problem, not mine."

Dear Mr. Tiger:
Gadflys are good for a free society.
I quite agree with Newt. I wish Schwarzkopf and Keyes would be on a presidential ticket.
Mr. Boortz was another heroic gadfly!
The majority of the American people are not fooled by muslims nor politicians.

I agree with you, Lady. When we see the gadflies disappear then FREEDOM is gone!

Also, I hope you're correct concerning the "American people".

Other than the Almighty himself, it's the only thing we have!
