WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Newt Gingrich has indicated that running for president would now be "last resort" but that hasn't stopped a new nationwide effort from forming to urge him to run for the presidency.
"Today, we are launching a major nationwide grassroots presidential draft effort, in the spirit of Reagan and Goldwater, to urge Newt Gingrich to run for the Republican Presidential nomination," said campaign founder David W. Kralik.
The "Draft Newt" effort will take advantage of the latest in online political trends by using its web site, http://www.DraftNewt.org as the primary vehicle for grassroots organization. Contributions to the campaign will be used in communications strategies to persuade Gingrich to seek and win the Republican nomination for president.
"Gingrich's entry into the Republican primary will set him aside as the conservative alternative to those currently running," Kralik said. "His bold ideas and energy will raise the standards for all presidential aspirants and help the Republican party work to regain America's trust.
"America offers great hope for those who believe rightly that the world is a very dangerous place. We have real challenges. We have a wonderful country that can solve these challenges. Gingrich has the experience and solutions that our country needs right now."
Draft Newt is the official grassroots movement dedicated to encouraging former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to run for President. It is not affiliated or authorized by any candidate, party or party committee. It is being spearheaded by David W. Kralik, a former Gingrich aide and veteran of many successful online grassroots political campaigns.
Reporters and individuals looking to learn more about or get involved in the effort can visit http://www.DraftNewt.org
SOURCE Draft Newt
Works for me. Or preferably, the head of the RNC.
Newt is who the Republicans need.
Newt is who America needs to be the
next President of the United States.
IMO, anyone who waits to be "drafted" either does not have the fire in his belly or he's surveyed his chances and doesn't like what he sees. I won't mind being proven incorrect.
Knowing you must be proud of me thus far, I need to toss in one special phrase that "someone is sounding almost as good as he looks." :0)
If it's true what I read earlier today, Obama and Hillary won't even bother showing up. I don't care which party is holding a debate, if you want my opinion, April 2007 is too damned early to be holding debates.
Yeah right..."They" have been saying
that Hillary the Sociopath is "too
polarizing"...yet here she is..the
far and away DemoSocialist frontrunner...
I don't think you recognize the implications of that idea. Condolesa Rice is not a conservative by any stretch. She is a total globalist much like Powell, and Clinton. Newt also has some globalist leanings, but not nearly so bad as Rice. We would see instant gun confiscation if she were to somehow get into the big chair.
"However, I'd like to see him run in order to publicize his ideas. He is a very good ideas man." Best reason I've seen for Newt to be in the running. And who knows, America might realize he is the best man for the job! But then, isn't that what primaries are for?
I thought I heard or read that today, too.
Wonder why? You'd think they would want to consolidate their place in the polls early.
Unfortunately, this is one time that you are quite correct. A Newt ticket would hand the Whitehouse to the Dems.
Perfect...Poseur Obama, and
Hillary the Sociopath are too
chickensh&t to participate in the
early debates....Newt should go,
and blow out all the second tier
candidates in one fell swoop, as
the same time he shows he's the
*ONLY* candidate whose platform
isn't based on taking positions
on *other* peoples ideas and plans.
They must obviously think they have that first tier secured. If I was them, I'd be campaigning my a$$ off and making sure my points were made and heard at the debates.
ROFL!
Maybe they're afraid they might screw up, huh?
She's not going to run, so we don't have to be scared of your strange prediction.
Tonight, FNC showed Guilani at 31.4%. McCain was second.
Not gonna show...Obama won't either.
They've said as much. They're to
chickensh*t to say anything for fear
it will come back to haunt them during
this extended election cycle.
BWAHAHAHAHAHahahahahaha.
If you want my honest opinion, I think they're too gutless to face the truth and reality, which by default in this day and age, should deny them a place in the White House.
"GO NEWT...!"
No, GO (home) NEWT...and take your baggage with you.
LOL!
