From Carpetbagger Report:
On Thursday, Newt Gingrich told supporters that if “they pledge at least $30 million to his campaign over a three-week period starting Monday and ending Oct. 21, he will compete for the nomination.”
Today, the effort is over before it begins.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will not run for president in 2008 after determining he could not legally explore a bid and remain as head of his tax-exempt political organization, a spokesman said Saturday.
“Newt is not running,” spokesman Rick Tyler said. “It is legally impermissible for him to continue on as chairman of American Solutions (for Winning the Future) and to explore a campaign for president.”
Gingrich decided “to continue on raising the challenges America faces and finding solutions to those challenges” as the group’s chairman, Tyler said, “rather than pursuing the presidency.”

At least he recognizes he should throw in the towel right away, maybe he could have a talk with, Thompson, McCain and Rudia. He actually had by far a better chance than any of them
OK, so who was the televangelist who claimed God told him to fund-raise by X millions of dollars or God will strike him down? Was that Falwell? It didn't work then and it won't work now.
This cat is so full of fuzzy memory, useless information.
Maybe it was Swaggert, but I think he was the freak who paid to watch a couple, then got on TV with crocodile tears saying, "Ah haav sinn'd."
