Newsmax.com is reporting that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is "ready, willing and able to serve as chairman of the Republican National Committee."
“If a majority of the RNC thought he was needed, he would accept that appointment,” Randy Evans, Gingrich’s close friend, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “He fully appreciates the urgency of the moment. The RNC has to do some soul-searching and decide what level of change is necessary. If that answer is bold, energetic change led by someone who has done it before, then Newt would be a good choice.”
But Evans warned the Journal-Constitution that if the GOP is eying a shift toward the middle, “that isn’t Newt.”
Well, we just completed a wobbly "middle" campaign and look at what it got the Republican Party.
Gingrich masterminded the 1994 GOP landslide victory with the "Contract With America" that put the Republicans in control of both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years.
He would make a great choice as RNC Chairman as he is a great speaker, clear on the issues and has tremendous organizing abilities. He would bring a clear, conservative message to the GOP.
UPDATE (11/11/08): Drudge Report now is reporting that Gingrich is "not interested" in running for RNC Chairman.
