DEL.ICIO.USYou can’t make this stuff up: Why run, if running means you might stand still?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Non-presidential candidate Newt Gingrich wandered through Wonderland on Monday, where he ran into an Associated Press reporter, whose name was not Lewis Carroll.
The journalist remarked on Gingrich’s high standing in current polls of Republican voters, and asked the former Georgian and U.S. House speaker when he might make a formal announcement of his intentions.
Gingrich, who we suspect was grinning like some feline from Derbyshire, if not Cheshire, declared that he had no real incentive.
“It’s sort of frightening sometimes,” Gingrich said. “Sometimes the guys who aren’t running are doing better than the guys who are running. Why would you want to start running if you’re doing better by not running than you would if you were running? I can’t explain it.”
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer has the details.
