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.
