Newt Gingrich: House Gop
built 178 days ago
Gingrich's battle against Jim Wright began in 1987; a one-man crusade which few in Washington took seriously. Before Gingrich was through... more than 70 House Republicans signed his letter asking the House's ethics committee to investigate Wright. The accusations were related to Wright's links to a Texas developer, to his favors to savings and loan operators, and the way in which he published and sold a book of his speeches and writings Reflections of a Public Man. Wright received unusually large royalties and sold the book to political contributors - an arrangement seemingly designed to circumvent ceilings on donations.

As most of you know, Newt Gingrich has been in contact with Fred Thompson, and Newt has now confirmed this. Some might ignore it, or brush it off, but a Gingrich endorsement still carries weight. See what former senator and GOP nominee Bob Dole had to say a couple of days ago, via Bloomberg:

When asked whether he would run an unorthodox campaign if he does decide to seek the GOP nomination, Gingrich smiled broadly before delivering a condemnation of professional political consultants. "Consultants are useful as subsidiary technicians and very, very dangerous as substitutes for leadership," Gingrich said. "The more you lead, the more you learn."
