Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will hold a town hall-style forum in Spokane on Thursday, Spokane County Republican Chairman Matthew Pederson confirmed.
Details will be released later today, he said.
Gingrich is the third GOP presidential hopeful to make a stop in the Inland Northwest. Rick Santorum spoke in Coeur d'Alene last week and Ron Paul held a rally at the Spokane Convention Center on Friday.
Mitt Romney's son will visit Spokane Valley this afternoon.
Gingrich, despite being from Georgia, has noteworthy ties to Inland Northwest politics that he may or may not dwell on in his visit.
He engineered the 1994 Republican sweep that — among other things — took leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives away from Spokane when Republican George Nethercutt beat sitting House Speaker Tom Foley, a Democrat. Republicans, after capturing control of the House that year, chose Gingrich to replace Foley.
Washington holds its precinct caucuses and straw poll on March 3. Idaho's caucuses are March 6.
Thursday the 23rd, or Thursday the 1st, I wonder. Stay tuned!
Go Newt!
Spokane is 6 hrs 37 mins / 397.33 miles from my house. I sure wish it was closer.
GO NEWT GO......
I saw you in Florida; you were awesome.
I loved the part when you said that you would take on
the Obama's unconstitutional activities.

Are you in the Western Washington area? I heard Newt on Hannity’s radio program yesterday. He said that he might be making two appearances in Washington, one in the Seattle area and one in Spokane. Since the Spokane appearance has materialized, it’s pretty likely the Seattle one will too. Good luck!
7 hours 11 minutes for me. Too bad cause I would LOVE to see him!
Lord, Guide Newt Gingrich!
Washington Freeper ping.
Yes... if I were any further west, I’d be in the Pacific Ocean. LOL
Seattle is a 3 hour drive, but I might be able to make that one. It would sure be great if it were to take place on a weekend.
Washington State: Santorum 38, Romney 27, Ron Paul 15, Newt Gingrich 12

His Spokane event is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Bing Theater in downtown Spokane. The venues and times for Idaho events are still being determined, but Gingrich is expected to be in Coeur d’Alene Thursday around 7 p.m. and at a private fundraiser at a Harrison home on Thursday around 4 p.m., Idaho GOP executive director Jonathan Parker said.

I'm still not sure if this is the day after tomorrow, or if it's Thursday of next week.
Me either. I watched his talk at ORU and it was FANTASTIC!
