Former House Republican Leader Newt Gingrich says that Republicans need a " clean break" from President Bush to win the 2008 election.
Reuters says that Gingrich was quoted as saying, " If you don't represent real change, you just gave away the 2008 election." Gingrich cited the Iraq war, the federal government's handling of Katrina, and the country's broken borders and immigration system as proof that we need to change the way we govern.
He added: " I believe for any Republican to win in 2008 , they have to offer a bold ,dramatic change. If we nominate somebody like that, they get the nomination, but there is very, very little chance they can win."
This statement is probably true, the country is ready for a change. But is Gingrich... who seems to fancy the nomination himself, however undeclared he may be, the person who represents a " new diredtion "?
