Gingrich Handicaps GOP Presidential Race
CNSNews: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Friday threw some weight behind 2008 Republican presidential frontrunner Rudy Giuliani even though Gingrich may himself decide to enter the race in September. Citing his "extraordinary accomplishments" as New York City mayor, Gingrich praised Giuliani for bringing a new approach to an inefficient government. Gingrich said this needs to happen on a much larger scale across the nation. . . . He also praised former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's handling of the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. And Gingrich observed that former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson - who has yet to make a formal candidacy announcement - "would be very formidable." Arizona Sen. John McCain "has the greatest challenge" among the Republicans, Gingrich said. He cited among difficulties McCain will face his work in passing campaign finance reform and his support for the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform proposals, which many conservatives view as an amnesty program. . . .
The former House speaker has been coy about his presidential ambitions. In some interviews and speeches, Gingrich has suggested that he will join the race, while in others he has characterized his candidacy as unlikely. "If there's a real genuine vacuum, we may feel compelled to run," Gingrich said, referring to himself and wife Callista. "If there are people who have filled the vacuum and are campaigning on solutions of appropriate scale, we'll be happy to keep giving them ideas." Gingrich said his plan for "winning the future" is "vastly more important than anything I'd accomplish, at least in the short run, if I were a candidate." [Read More] ARRA Editor:Gingrich may realize that his past personal issues are reflective of those of Giuliani and that Giuliani has a better chance of winning the race for the GOP nomination. Either winning or losing the race to be the GOP candidate could damage Gingrich's broad based efforts to advance his proposed plan for "winning the future" with voters be they republicans, independents or democrats. Also, for the moment at least within the GOP, past misdeeds can hurt your future efforts when you chose to apply to be the "chief leader of the flock."
