Newt plans very, very, very important speech
Newt Gingrich has been staking his whole White House bid on the idea that he's the smartest and most idea-driven candidate in the GOP field, and the Des Moines Register reports he'll aim to back that up with an upcoming speech:
Gingrich promised to lay out a “very visionary” new Contract with America during a speech next week in Iowa.
It “will be 10 times deeper and more comprehensive than 1994,” he told an audience of about 40 people Monday night in Council Bluffs. “Because the truth is, while we changed the system some … we didn’t fundamentally change the underlying system.”
The new “21st Century Contract with America” will, he said.
Gingrich said his ideas, which he will unveil Sept. 29 in Des Moines, are “very big, and they’re exactly what Abraham Lincoln would have campaigned on.”
The Register identifies a few voters at Gingrich's event who came away willing to give the long-shot Republican another look in the 2012 race. The event, incidentally, was "a screening of 'A City Upon a Hill,' a documentary Gingrich and his wife, Callista, helped create about the concept of American exceptionalism."
Poster Comment:
I can hardly wait. Sounds like Newt will propose another Civil War.
