Run, Newt, Run!

A new political action committee is hoping to convince former Speaker of the House and presidential candidate Newt Gingrich to run for the U.S. Senate in Virginia next year.

Draft Newt PAC insists Gingrich, now a host of CNN’s Crossfire, is Republicans’ best hope for retaking the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.), who is vying for his second term.

“We want a credible challenger to Mark Warner, and no one could do what Newt could do to fight—and win,” said Andrew Hemingway, a former staffer on Gingrich’s 2012 presidential campaign who is leading the Draft Newt group, in a press release announcing the effort.

“U.S. Senator Newt Gingrich would be an immediate game changer, giving conservatives another voice that would take the fight to the Obama administration,” added Hemingway, who ran fundraising for the 2012 presidential bid.

Funny you should ping me with Newt now.

It was the third shutdown in 1996 (first two in 1995) when Newt and Dole gave Clinton the exact CR he demanded after getting lots of angry phone calls, be torn apart by the Media, made fun of on TV shows, that CR was the equivalent Obama's current demands funding Obama care now(say in a week from now) .
But naturally Rush and Newt have spun that humiliating end into Newts big victory, which they had to. So many remember it that way now.

Now the kiddies are told of this glorious victory when Clinton caved at the end of that shutdown, and yet Newt caved (certainly in todays definition) and gave Clinton what he demanded.

And the standard reply was for them to call us Romneyboy, the usual false dichotomy BS.
