Newt Gingrich stated today: "I'm announcing my candidacy for president of the United States because I believe we can return America to hope and opportunity."
"We Americans are going to have to talk together, to work together, find solutions together, and insist on imposing those solutions on those forces that don't want to change."
Always the idea man, Gingrich will bring a great deal of debate, thought, and discussion to the nomination process for the GOP. He's been a severely harsh critic of Obama's policies, but has gone beyond criticism to offer conservative ideas on what we should do instead along with replacements to Obamacare, taxes, and government spending.
"He is a polarizing figure (who) comes with a fair degree of baggage," Ford O'Connell, who worked on the 2008 McCain-Palin ticket, told CNN. He said Gingrich has to make himself relevant to the current political climate. "He does represent the past but has to show why he represents the future," O'Connell said, adding that he thinks right now Gingrich is having difficulty doing that.
