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.

Gingrich

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.

Gingrich

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.

Newt in the News

Newt Gingrich's name has been surfacing for a possible dark horse entrance into the Republican presidential race. The speculation argues that Newt's ability to attract the grass roots of America could put him on the road to victory in a "Reagan" kind of way. With all the voters split up by Romney, McCain, and Huckabee, many argue Newt is the man who would steal enough votes from each different sect to win the nomination. Of course this is all just political speculation, but what a thrill that would be if he did finally enter.
In other news, Gingrich has committed to being the special guest for the Young Republican National Foundation Super Tuesday "Watch Party". The organization is the oldest living political youth group in America. Gingrich has yet to endorse a specific candidate, but many Republicans hope for him to join a candidate in their race for the Presidency.

Newt Gingrich

Accoring to an article recently released on humanevents.com Gingrich could apparently be the darkhorse for the Republican party primaries. Even though he has not run or been on a single ballot, the article says that Gingrich could be the last hope for the Republican party just because there is no real support for a single candidate that is running. The article used the example of the South Carolina primary and how even the person who one (McCain) only won 33 percent of the vote which apparently means 77 percent of the people in South Carolina said no to him. With all this split between the Republican party maybe Gingrich could indeed become the darkhorse, or maybe he will just not run which seems a bit more likely.

Newt Gingrich provided presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani with something he has not received in a while, some good news.  In a non endorsement, Gingrich praised Giuliani saying, "No, I'm not endorsing him, but I've said everywhere and I cite him in every speech I give, that if look at what New York is like today, and you look at the remarkable decline in crime, this is the safest large city in America."  

Also, recently Gingrich called for 'Real Change' in America.  Gingrich inspires and tells Americans that they need to demand change in his new book "Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works."

Gingrich Update

After the New Hampshire Primary results surfaced, Newt Gingrich released a statement saying that Hillary Clinton won because of "courage, integrity, and openness". Gingrich has been accused of having an on again off again relationship with Clinton, but appeared very positive about her stratigic change after the Iowa descision. More imortantly Gingrich was happy to see that the resuls of Iowa and New Hampshire truly meant Americans were moving towards change in the government. Gingrich may be out of the race, but he has a very strong following of people who listen to what he has to say. His recent support of Clinton will only help her surge for the Democratic Nomination.

Gingrich

Gingrich has not been in the news much in the past week but on his wesbsite newt.org he talks about the Iowa caucuses and his views on how the winners won and the losers lost. The main reason he says for Obama and Huckabee winning is because of the people of Iowa. They want real change and wouldn't support the candidates who had spent huge amounts of money on their campaigns such as Hilary and Romney who both lost and Clinton even got third to Edwards. Gingrich goes on to say on his website that the Republicans need to realize that the people are now calling for change and this is shown through their voting for the two youngest candidates from each party.
