NEWT ... A CANDIDATE?

 NEWT ... A CANDIDATE?

 Newt Gingrich said that he might still consider throwing his hat into the ring if he can raise $30 million by November.

After our American Solutions workshop on the FairTax next week, he is going to spend the month of October seeing if he can bring that money in.

By November 1st, he will decide whether or not to run.

Remember what I said on the air the other day? A caller asked me what I looked for in a presidential candidate. I answered that I wanted someone who really didn't want the job all that badly; someone reluctant to serve. People who spend their live chasing after that kind of power give me a rash.

This Gingrich bit ought to be interesting to watch. Speaking of the American Solutions Day events...we'll be broadcasting the show live from Cobb Galleria Centre here in Atlanta as part of the festivities and you are all invited! Come watch the Boortz Show broadcast live September 27th.

Watch the Neal Boortz radio show – live and in person at the Cobb Galleria Center [map] in Atlanta, Georgia Thursday, September 27th.

http://www.cobbgalleria.com/maps.html

The broadcast is from 8:30 am until 1pm and is free and open to the public.

Special guests at the broadcast: WSB's Sean Hannity and Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Plus, Royal Marshall and Belinda Skelton .

Newt will not be raising anything close to 30 million. Maybe 3 million.

I was so disappointed when he jumped on the man-made Global Warming wagon.

Candidate For what?

Newt is a policy wonk and about as polarizing as Hillary Clinton.

We need to run a nice affable guy against The Glacier.

I have my campaign slogan all ready to go for our nominee..."You may have to be married to a Bitch, But you DON'T have to vote for one"

So, let’s say Newt doesn’t raise 30 million, he only raises 15, he doesn’t join, so where does the money go?

Now, I don’t think Newt is up to any shenanigans, I trust the guy, but I do wonder.

“…I answered that I wanted someone who really didn’t want the job all that badly; someone reluctant to serve. People who spend their live chasing after that kind of power give me a rash…”

This is so true, and this is why I was thrilled with the election of the new Pope. He didn’t want to be Pope; therefore, I knew he would make a good one.

“Newt will not be raising anything close to 30 million. Maybe 3 million.”

I’m curious how you came up with that figure.

Please explain.

Thank you.

Newt has been begging people to beg him to run for at least the last 2 years.

Sad.

Newt carries more baggage than a freight train. Thanks, but no thanks.
He tried to get Clinton but all he succeeded in doing was to get his own ass thrown out.

Newt - a great historian and political savvy guy (at times) but he has already failed as a leader.

To the Pope or Newt?

That is why I think Newton should be RNC chair instead of Malaise Martinez.

I caught a little bit of him on C-Span this morning and did a double-take when he mentioned his book, “A Contract With the Earth”. Global warming giberish from a so-called conservative? What the hell is that about?!
