Gingrich May Enter 2008 Race
Just when I was beginning to give up on Newt jumping into the game for 2008, I read (on BreitBart) that he may still be considering a run if he can drum up $30 million in pledges by Nov. 1. It is interesting to note that Reagan didn't announce until Nov. 13, 1979, so this is still within the realm of reason.
Should Gingrich enter the fray, this will jumbo up the dynamics substantially as Gingrich will enter in as a top tier candidate, and would be the top choice for people like myself.
The GOP lineup of candidates is extremely good. There is a lot to like about many of the candidates, and, with one or two exceptions (Ron Paul) very little to dislike.
Gingrich would be strong on all of the major issues that I find important, including the level of trust needed to be commander in Chief and the man with the finger on the proverbial button (nuclear weapons).
If he enters the race, even as late as mid-November (or even Christmas) he would immediately become my top choice as he is a man who will distinguish himself from the rest of the candidates based on the issues and will say the hard things that need to be said, and not try and coddle the American people with what sounds nice. This is especially true where the war on terror is concerned.
