WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has signed on to the latest high-profile effort to re-brand the Republican Party — but don't expect to see him take a major leadership role for the National Council for a New America, or make a starring appearance at any of the events on the group's national tour.
Organizers of the effort, spearheaded by House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, originally told reporters that Gingrich had not been included in the newly-launched group because his 527, American Solutions, was a partisan entity. (The organization describes itself as a "tri-partisan" network.)
Gingrich supporters dismissed that explanation, pointing out that Mitt Romney — a member of the NCNA's panel of experts — headed the explicitly partisan Free and Strong America PAC, which donates to GOP candidates.
Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler downplayed the delay, saying the former speaker was "thrilled and delighted" to join the group.

"Tri-partisan"?
Three horned RINO.
Romney, McCain, Cantor, Gingrich
The Four RINOS of the GOP Apocalypse
I prefer:
The ‘We Are A Bunch of Wimps’ tour coming to a deli near you.
Excellent.
Thanks, Newt!
Exactly, I will take Sarah, over Newt, any day.. Newt had his day, done good, and in the end did not live up my expectations... especially with his women problems..
Hail, hail, the gangs all here.
The GOP has become a caricature and is symptomatic of the total degradation and rotting core of our country.
The Kennedy wing of the GOP.....all in one place. That should make them easier to identify.
I already find myself pulling back from politics to focus on “building the culture I want to live in”, focusing on church, family, and my own projects.
If the GOP wants my vote, they’ll have to offer me a principled conservative candidate. I’m not laying down for another McCain. I’m about ready to go third party or no party. Another McCain would about cinch it.
I think it’s a lot like being “tri-sexual.”
So like, male, female, and squirrels?
Newt is looking for relevance by helping to guide the Republican Party to permanent irrelevance. He and Romney should recognize a loser, especially one that just lost us everything. How many times will these wannabe leaders make the same mistakes?

LOL
Starting from nothing in November, a small band of Connecticut patriots have done something extraorinary in Connecticut.
We urge everyone who reads this forum to pass it along to show what people in every state can accomplish if motivated.
Don't wait for the national Party. They are comfortable at losing.
Well, we are tired of losing, so we are doing something else!
And take a look at all 54 You tube videos on the PALIN SMITH Channel!
Cantor is not doing as well as he hopes ~ but then look at his friends who are dragging him down.
Me too. She is doing the right thing while all these RINOS are whistling in the wind. No more RINOS.
C’mon folks. Didn’t Sarah Palin join them too? I am as anti-RINO as anyone...but can we quit calling everyone a RINO? (no offense intended, rabscuttle)
The party of the opposition needs to get it together. Duncan Hunter isn’t doing anything right now, is he? Tom Tancredo? Maybe they are doing stuff but aren’t getting publicity?
I was in Florida for Jeb’s eight years. He was a good governor. He was a better governor than his brother was President.
Let’s listen to what they’re saying...are they proposing socialism? Then point out where they’re wrong and offer correct solutions.
But all I see/hear around here sometimes is ad hominem attacks on any and all of our past candidates and anyone who associates with them. Sarah isn’t a RINO. Neither is Newt. Neither is Bobby J.
We can’t just sit around and gripe about the names. Hold their ideas and feet to the fire—the ideas they’re pushing and proposing now.
There is my opinion.
