Newt Gingrich will probably run for president 2008
Dr. Johnson: "I know you've avoided this, but let's talk about what your plan is."
Gingrich: "... on the 30th of September, we'll look to see if there is a requirement for a citizen candidate who is committed to bold language and clearer solutions...and if there is, I'll probably end up running..."
Gingrich also blasted U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

McCain to visit Boston next month
McCain to visit Boston next month for campaign fundraiser
BOSTON Sen. John McCain will hold a fundraiser next month in Massachusetts, home state of his presidential rival Mitt Romney.
The Arizona Republican will gather June 18 with supporters at The Taj hotel, the former Ritz-Carlton overlooking the Public Garden, McCain's campaign confirmed.
Organizers include Jane Swift, the state's former acting governor, and Jean Inman, former chairwoman of the Massachusetts Republican Party.
Meanwhile, former Gov. Paul Cellucci is helping organize another fundraiser next month on behalf of a third GOP presidential candidate, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The date and location have yet to be announced, although Cellucci previously confirmed the event.
The three Republicans who combined to hold the governor's office from 1991 to 2003 have split in the race for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. Former Gov. William F. Weld is backing Romney, who was Massachusetts governor between 2003 and 2007, while Cellucci is supporting Giuliani and Swift has endorsed McCain.

"immigration bill fundamentally flawed" Gov. Bill Richardson
In opposing immigration bill, Richardson caught in debate
immigration bill fundamentally flawed
WASHINGTON - Of all the candidates running for president,
none has more weathered the crosscurrents of the immigration
battle than Gov. Bill Richardson, the New Mexico Democrat.
Richardson, whose mother is Mexican, is the governor of a border
state with the highest percentage of Latino immigrants in the country.
He has been entangled in the issue at home and a player in the ongoing
struggle in Washington about rewriting the nation's immigration laws.
He is the first Latino to seek the Democratic presidential nomination.
Richardson initially said he would support the immigration compromise
announced earlier this week. But on Wednesday, he said that after
reading it in detail, he had decided to oppose it, saying the measure
placed too great a burden on immigrants - tearing apart families that
wanted to settle in the United States, creating a permanent tier of
second-class immigrant workers, and funding a border fence that
Richardson had long opposed.
"This is fundamentally flawed in its current form, and I would
oppose it," he said. "We need bipartisanship, but we also need
legislation that is compassionate. I'm not sure this is."

Senator McCain, his campaign slumping, still backs Bush
Senator McCain, his campaign slumping, still backs Bush
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate
John McCain (news, bio, voting record), a one-time favorite
trying to shore up his slumping campaign, defended his support
for the unpopular Iraq war on Wednesday and accused
Democrats of putting politics ahead of U.S. security.
McCain said Democratic proposals for withdrawal timetables in Iraq
were cynical calculations that would create chaos in the Middle East
and said the new military strategy by President George W. Bush
and the new U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus,
needed time to succeed.
"We who are willing to support this new strategy, and give General
Petraeus the time and support he needs, have chosen a hard road,
but it is the right road. It is necessary and just," the Arizona
senator said in a speech at the Virginia Military Institute in
Lexington, Virginia.
"Let's put aside for a moment the small politics of the day. The judgment
of history should be the approval we seek, not the temporary favor of
the latest public opinion poll," said McCain, 70, who has slumped in
recent polls.
McCain has staked his campaign on the success of Bush's strategy of
building up forces in Baghdad to restore security in the city and
eventually allow an easing of the sectarian conflict and economic
recovery.
The speech at the conservative military institution in Virginia was
the first of three planned ahead of the formal launch of his White
House campaign at the end of April.
McCain's chief opponents for the Republican nomination, former
New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, also support Bush's new strategy in Iraq.
But McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, has been the most
outspoken supporter in Congress of the war and has become closely
linked with Bush's policy. He said the new course was "making progress," but cautioned about being too rosy about Iraq's future.
"We have a long way to go, but for the first time in four years,
we have a strategy that deals with how things really are in Iraq
and not how we wish them to be," he said.
Democrats fired back after the speech. Presidential contender Barack
Obama (news, bio, voting record), a senator from Illinois, renewed
his call for a change in strategy and "a responsible end to this war."
'IDEOLOGICAL FANTASIES'
"Progress in Iraq cannot be measured by the same ideological fantasies
that got us into this war," Obama said of McCain's speech.
Democratic White House contender John Edwards said "the people
playing politics with Iraq are Senator McCain and President Bush,
and they should be ashamed of themselves."
McCain said a quick retreat in Iraq would endanger the Middle East and
embolden terrorists, and he criticized Democrats in Congress for
trying to attach withdrawal timetables to a bill to fund the war.
"It may appear to be the easier course of action but it is a much
more reckless one, and it earns them no credit even if it gives
them an advantage in the next election," he said.
McCain has struggled to recapture the magic of his maverick but
ultimately losing presidential bid in 2000, when he won the
New Hampshire primary but fell to Bush in a bitter nomination battle.
After entering the 2008 race as an early favorite, McCain has slumped
in the polls as the war has grown more unpopular. He fell to third
among Republicans in fund raising in the first three months of the year.
He was forced to back away earlier this week from upbeat comments he
made about the country's security after a recent visit to Baghdad,
where he traveled under heavy military protection.

Democrats as wimps ?
Democrats as wimps ?
A Split Over War, the Wimp Thing, and How to Win
by Dick Polman
At a time when the Iraq war is draining President Bush's popularity, you might think that the Democrats would have a consensus plan of their own for ending the bloodshed and winning the peace.
But no such plan exists - because the party's liberal grassroots base and the cautious Washington establishment are too busy warring with each other.
The liberals, emboldened by growing antiwar sentiment in the polls, essentially want a timetable for pulling out the U.S. troops, but the centrists think that such a stance would enable Bush's spin team to once again paint the Democrats as national-security wimps.
Bush is politically vulnerable at the moment, but the fractious Democrats are ill-poised to take advantage. The liberal base is out of sync with the most visible contenders for the 2008 presidential nomination (Sens. Hillary Clinton, Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, and John Kerry), all of whom voted for Bush's war, none of whom have embraced the calls for troop withdrawal.

Gingrich hints at 2008 White House run
Gingrich hints at 2008 White House run
WASHINGTON - Newt Gingrich suggested on Sunday he might not run for president in 2008 if a rival has all but locked up the Republican nomination by next fall.
The former House speaker from Georgia said it would not be too late for him to enter the race after next Labor Day, if he believed no candidate had a clear advantage. He praised Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) of Arizona and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani as the contenders to watch.
"If one of them seals it off by Labor Day, my announcing now wouldn't make any difference anyway," Gingrich said. "If none of the three, having from now 'til Labor Day, can seal it off, the first real vote is in 2008. And there's plenty of time in the age of television and e-mail, between Labor Day and 2008."
The nominee will not be picked officially until the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., in early September 2008.
Gingrich pointed out that John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan each waited to announce his candidacy until less than a year was left before the election. Kennedy confirmed he was running on Jan. 2, 1960; Reagan did so for the first time on Nov. 20, 1975, when he did not win the nomination, again on Nov. 13, 1979, and Jan. 29, 1984 when he did capture the White House.
"Of course I'm thinking about it," Gingrich said. "I hope between now and September, to help create with every candidate in both parties, a wave of new ideas, a wave of new solutions."

Arizona people would have voted him out of office

McCain may launch committee to explore a presidential bid
WASHINGTON - Days after the Republican Party's horrendous showing in the elections, speculation is building that Sen. John McCain is nearing a decision on running for
president in 2008.
The Arizona Republican is considered to be a leading
candidate for the GOP's nomination. But this week in
Phoenix, McCain was insisting that he still hadn't
decided on another White House bid.
Yet the senator and his advisers also have
consistently said in interviews with The Arizona
Republic over the past year that once the midterm
elections were over, he would begin the process of
seriously considering a run. advertisement
The latest such report came Friday when
unidentified sources close to McCain told the
Associated Press that a final decision likely
would not come until after the holidays.
McCain and about a half-dozen of his top aides,
huddled in Phoenix, have already decided to proceed
with the formation of a presidential exploratory
committee as early as next week, ABC News said.
An exploratory committee would enable McCain to
officially start raising money for a presidential
campaign.
A "draft McCain" effort was announced Thursday and
is expected to be formally launched in the next
few weeks in 15 states, including Arizona.

Did the President sandbag the GOP?
DEMOCRAT MAJORITY WILL PUSH BUSH AMNESTY
Did the President sandbag the GOP?
Los Angeles, CA - Why did President George W. Bush wait until after the mid-term elections to replace Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld? Why was there virtually no support from the White House for Republican candidates like Randy Graf and J.D. Hayworth in Arizona?
Most pundits agree that if Rumsfeld was to be replaced, it would have been much better for Republicans had the announcement been made before the elections. And with the razor-thin losses of key Republican candidates to supposedly "conservative" Democrats, it seems clear that a little more money or other support from the President or national GOP headquarters might have kept the House and Senate from turning over to Democrat control.
"Here you have conservative candidates and some incumbents who were solidly in favor of protecting our borders - a position with which the overwhelming American majority agrees," commented Minuteman Founder Jim Gilchrist. "Bush has been unable to pass his amnesty program through the GOP-controlled Congress, but he won't give up, so why wouldn't he welcome a more compliant Democrat-led pro-illegal alien Congress, where he wouldn't have effective opposition from his own party?"
Today's speech by the President tends to confirm Gilchrist's ruminations. When asked about the prospect of the Democrats cooperating with his amnesty proposals, Bush seemed almost delighted with the change of House leadership. Americans who question the open borders policies of this and previous administrations will have plenty to worry about in the coming months, if Gilchrist's analysis proves accurate.
"This is a devastating blow to the security of the country," said Gilchrist. "Every American is at greater risk than before the elections. Illegal aliens and terrorists are celebrating today, but our mission remains clear: we shall continue our surveillance and reporting operations in a continuing effort to inform and mobilize Americans to demand better border security."

Mainly due to his absurd alliance with senator kennedy over border control
/ amensty
oh well, next time.

Kolbe breaks silence on camping trip inquiry
Arizona Congressman Jim Kolbe breaks his silence about the inquiry into a 1996 camping trip.
A trip he took with two former, male pages and others.
The Justice Department opened an inquiry about the Grand Canyon trip after a complaint was filed at the U.S. Attorney's office in Phoenix two weeks ago.
The inquiry was initiated a few weeks after Kolbe's name was brought up in connection with the congressional page scandal, involving former Congressman Mark Foley.
Foley resigned last month after his racy emails to young, male pages surfaced.
A page, concerned about alleged inappropriate emails from Foley, visited Kolbe's office in either 2001 or 2002.
Kolbe claims he never read the emails or knew of their content and referred the matter to the house clerk.
A complaint was given to the Phoenix office but it's not clear if it accused Kolbe of inappropriate behavior on the Grand Canyon trip.
For weeks, Kolbe has been out of the country and speaking only through his office until Wednesday.
Congressman Kolbe spoke very briefly to the media Wednesday about the inquiry but his message was clear, "I didn't do anything wrong."
He said, "I know there are a number of inquiries that are underway and we are cooperating fully with all those inquiries and I'm sure at the end of the time it will show that we've acted appropriately and did the exactly right thing."
The justice department is looking into a complaint about a 1996 camping trip Congressman Kolbe took with two 17 year old boys, both former pages, along with his sister, staff members, and park employees.
There are conflicting details about what went on.
NBC news interviewed a source who claimed to be "uncomfortable" with Kolbe's attention to one of the pages. The page in question told NBC he didn't want to get into the details.
But a park official and the other page say they didn't see anything inappropriate.
Kolbe said, "It's certainly not fun, there's no question about that and we didn't do anything wrong and I'm think that'll be demonstrated at the end."
Kolbe wasn't willing to discuss former colleague Mark Foley, who's under investigation for sending inappropriate emails to pages.
Kolbe said, "It's not appropriate for me to be get into talking about all the individual things nothing inappropriate was done and I'm sure that will be demonstrated in the end."
The House Ethics committee is also looking into the camping trip.
As for Foley, News 4 learned Wednesday that he checked into the Sierra Tucson treatment facility on October 1st.
Kolbe says he wasn't aware that Foley was in town, Tucson, and has no plans to visit him.
