Gingrich made the headlines recently by teaming up with current Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.  The odd duo are together in a television ad demanding immediate action towards the prevention of global warming.  By pairing a former Republican Speaker of the House with the current one, the commercial is trying to show how regardless of one's political views, climate change is a serious issue.  

While Gingrich has not been doing too much to get his name in the headlines lately, this commercial ad sure will.

Gingrich In the News

Newt Gingrich has certainly faded out of the main news cycle recently. He is, however, hosting a book signing for his new gem "Real Change; From the World That Fails to the World That Works." The signing will be at Barnes and Noble in Naples, Florida on April 7 if anyone would like to attend. For those Newt fans out there, all i can say is hopefully he will make some controversial statements in the near future so we can all hear his wonderfully insightful ideas again.

Recently, Gingrich has been showing his support for a bill to mandate doctors to use electronic prescriptions instead of paper ones which is part of Kerry's health plan as well. He also has been trying to urge the federal government to put more money towards alzheimers research. Gingrich believes that we should spend more money on research of the disease than the health care for the disease to possibly be able to stop the problem.

Could Gingrich be considering making his bid for presidency soon?  Well, even if he is not, he has been very busy lately.  His group, American Solution for Winning the Future, is opening a new office in the Silicon Valley.  The organization, which is nonpartisan, is said to be revolved around three goals which are, "To defend America and our allies abroad and defeat our enemies, to strengthen and revitalize America's core values, and to move the government into the 21st Century."  Besides the opening of his office, Gingrich also recently was in Philadelphia talking about the environment.

With his recent stand on the Florida and Michigan primaries, and being well traveled throughout the United States in recent weeks, it will be interesting to see if an announcement comes soon.

Newt made headlines this past week by announcing a proposal for the seating the Florida and Michigan delegates. He argues that to give the delegates to Clinton, who was the only candidate to actually campaign in the states, would be completely unfair and a "recipe for even more chaos". On the other hand, Newt argues that "alienating two of the most important states runs the risk of the Democrat's losing those states that they want and need in the National election". His proposal is to re-vote in these two particular states. This issue will only become a more prominent one with every day that Obama pulls away from Hillary.

in the past week Gingrich has said that the candidate that will win the election is the one that gets the message of change across best to the country and says that the only candidate to have done this is Obama. Gingrich says that in order for McCain to win he is going to need to appeal to the public much more to compete with Obama. also he thinks that the democratic party needs to re run the michigan and florida primaries. seeing as how Clinton won both of these but not any delegates maybe Gingrich would rather have Clinton be the nominee than Obama. possibly because she might be easier to beat?

Gingrich was in the news recently with his remarks about the conservative party.  During his speech, he stated that, "In a fundamental way, the conservative movement has to declare itself independent from the Republican Party."  He did point out that he doesn't think the conservative movement should split into a third party however.  Regardless, Gingrich gave all his support to Republican front runner John McCain.  This comes five days after saying that he would not be endorsing McCain.
