Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich,
said to by contemplating a run for the presidency, will share his
always-provocative views at a John Locke Foundation Headliner Luncheon in Charlotte on June 29. As Bloomberg columnist Andrew Ferguson says, it should be fun:
Aside from its limitless entertainment value, it’s hard to
predict what a Gingrich presidential candidacy will offer. A
recent speech at the American Enterprise Institute on the white-
hot issue of immigration offered tantalizing clues.Among the commonly mentioned Republican presidential
candidates — Arizona Senator John McCain, Massachusetts Governor
Mitt Romney and bland establishmentarians like Senators George
Allen and Bill Frist — only Gingrich agrees with the anti-
illegal-immigration passions now bubbling up from the party’s
most loyal voters.
