Politics » Former House speaker says stopping Obama is the important thing.

Gearing up for his fourth -- and what could prove to be his most difficult -- campaign, Sen. Bob Bennett drew the endorsement of the architect of the Republicans' last takeover of Congress: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

"The best thing Utah can do to stop [President Barack] Obama and get conservatism back on the march is re-elect Bob Bennett," said Gingrich, who led the 1994 GOP election surge.

If Republicans fail to oppose the Obama administration, Gingrich said, "we're going to become a secular, socialist system run by a machine." But, Gingrich said, it's not just about stopping the Democrats. "For effective conservatives to really govern America, you've got to have solutions," he said. "Yes, Gringrich endorses Sen. Bennett you've got to fight with this hand but you'd better have solutions in this hand."

Bennett argued voters should return him to Washington so he can help reform the out-of-control Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security entitlement systems and oppose the Obama administration.

Gingrich lost any last shred of credibility when he sat on that couch with Pelosi in that go green commercial

Bennett, running in his first campaign, did an ad asking for 2 terms from the voters.

So, now he’s going for 4.

Time to go.
