Newt Out

Breitbart has an article saying that a spokesman for Newt has announced that he will not be running for President in 2008:

"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."

There, of course, could have been other reasons, but this is adequate. I personally like Newt, but I think he will do more good for the United States by running the American Solutions organization. He is doing a lot of good work from there.

In addition, a Newt candidacy would dilute the conservative vote and would make a Giuliani victory for the nomination more likely. This is very good news for FDT. Hopefully he will cast his support behind Fred.
