Gingrich: RNC Chairman Steele Working on a ‘First Principles Model’ for 2010 Vote
By PoliJAM | November 14, 2009
Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich speaking Friday with students at C-SPAN’s Cable Center Class:
Share ThisI’ve been talking with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele … He’s developing a first principles model that I think is a very exciting, positive step in the right direction.
I think by September, it might be very, very good for the Republicans in the House and Senate to have a common ground on which to campaign, whether they call it a Contract for America or some other device.
But I think having a positive set of things that say, “if you elect us, these are the positive steps we will take” – and thats why an American Solutions, for example, we have a whole series of positive proposals on energy, on education, on the environment, on the economy.
And we think that thats the right way to go. So I think you put the finger on what may well be the key building block to really become the alternative party, not the opposition party, who will offer the American people I better value through a better set of solutions.
And if they do that, if the Democrats stay stuck over on a very left wing program and if they continue to have a job-killing record in Congress, I think by September and October you could suddenly have a very very exciting off-year election.
