Gingrich wants $30 million to run

By LIBBY QUAID, Associated Press Writer 32 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he still might run for president if supporters will pledge $30 million by November.

"You can't bring all your good ideas if you don't have the resources to communicate," Gingrich told reporters Thursday at a breakfast in Washington.

Gingrich is holding a national Internet-based workshop next week. Afterward, his top political adviser, Randy Evans, will spend October seeing if he can generate pledges of $30 million, which Gingrich said would be needed to compete with the leader in the GOP presidential money chase, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

1. Translation: He isn't running

7. Another translation: The GOP has no viable candidates

They're going to lose big unless they steal the crap out of the election.

2. Hell, I'll donate!!!

I would LOVE for him to jump in the race. The only thing better than having him in the mix would be for him to be the nominee! Seriously, unless Cheney changes his mind there really isn't a more divisive choice for the GOP (at least among people who could win the nomination).
