Hi guys! Look what Newt Gingrich just said .... [View all]

via Twitter feed from David Corn.

"Newt decries secret donors, vicious consultants & says anyone elected that way won't be able to govern

Newt cites GW Bush's 04 campaign as an example of a nasty campaign that made it impossible for pres. to govern afterward. (David Corn adds hashtag: #rove!)"

I'm not saying it's that big a deal, and maybe is about his hating on Rove, but it does seem like an acknowledgement of what was done to Kerry in '04, and how because of that, Bush's 2nd term was a failure.

As an aside, I will never forget Gingrich's debate with John Kerry on climate change. He clearly is just a performance artist. I'm not sure which Newt is the real one, but back then anyway, he thought global climate change was an URGENT problem and mostly agreed with Kerry.
