MACON, GA…12/11/07 5:20pm EST…At a rally for supporters today, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced his candidacy for the 2008 Presidential Election. Quizzed about his late start, Gingrich stated “The Republican Party is almost dead – literally – so I’m doing whatever I can to prolong the inevitable.” Asked then about his chances of winning the Republican primary, Newt stated “It’s going to be a fight, but I have a loyal base of octogenarians, Fox News doomsdayists, AIPAC members, weapons dealers and Dixie wavin’ southerners.” Asked then if he would like to "super size [his] hamburger combo," Gingrich stated “Ummm, sure . . . but can I pay for this with a credit card?".
