Last week I wrote about mike huckabee, a candidate for the Republican Presidential Nominee. Today, it looks like someone else might be throwing his hat in the ring. Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich is running a series of events this weekend in Atlanta called American Solutions. Its a series of workshops designed to come up with a new path for america, developed by its citizens. I think he has other motives though.

There’s been talk for a while about Gingrich running for President. I think he’d be a good candidate for the job. I met him when he was speaker of the house. I like his politics and his ideas, and I believe he would support the Fair Tax. Not to mention he has experience. If he was going to announce his candidacy, tonight at 7pm when he talks to the group at American Solutions would be the perfect time.

A coworker has said that while he agrees with Newt on several issues, there are some he doesn’t and he’s not sure if Newt could get enough of the vote. I don’t know if he could or not, but I think that if he does announce, he’ll help bring a lot of stuff to the race that others are shying away from and it might help change the landscape of the 08 presidential race. I’ll have to keep an eye on him and see exactly where he stands.
