Gingrich Plans Outreach

Newt Gingrich is planning a major new grass-roots movement to recapture the "soul of the Republican Party." Even though Gingrich has a little bit of baggage from partisan attacks, this is great news for conservatives.

Just as conservatives were very high on Samuel Alito and John Roberts for the Supreme Court because of their intellectual capacity to challenge the opposition and define their objectives clearly, so too should they be on Newt Gingrich. Gingrich is smart, politically astute, organized and well-spoken and can challenge the opposition rhetorically in a way that other conservatives just cannot do.
