Newt Not Running

Mike Allen is reporting Newt isn’t going to run.  The stated reason?

 Rick Tyler, Gingrich’s spokesman, said lawyers told Gingrich that dabbling in a presidential campaign could endanger the non-profit status of his group, American Solutions for Winning the Future, which is holding a workshop in Cobb County, Ga., on Saturday.

“He had to make a choice between being a citizen-activist, raising the challenges America faces and finding solution to America’s problems, or exploring a potential candidacy,” Tyler said.

What the choice boils down to was which would be more effective in bringing about change.  As it happens, I think he made the right choice.  If, in fact, that’s the choice that must be made.  What this boils down to, is McCain -Feingold, again. If we needed another reason to delete McCain Feingold from the books, we have one.
