Newt Gingrich Hints at John Bolton for Presidential Cabinet
EmailRepublican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich just opened his Manchester, N.H., campaign office moments ago. Gingrich told the volunteers and visitors he would take questions.
“Can you give us a hint of who might be in your Cabinet,” a man shouted from the back of the crowded room of about 200 people.
“You know, I’ve gone from being dead in June to having someone ask who would be in the cabinet in November. I think that’s real progress,” Gingrich said.
After the crowd’s laughter subsided, the man questioned Gingrich again, “Give us a type!”
“Well I’ll give you an example I’m looking for,” Gingrich said. “I believe we have to overhaul the State Department very dramatically. I think we need a secretary of state who is tough-minded and who would represent American interests. I think that Ambassador Bolton represents that kind of person.”
Gingrich did not elaborate further on the comment, however, his suggestion of John Bolton as a possible secretary of state was well-received with applause.
On Saturday, Gingrich heads to South Carolina to open up his campaign headquarters in Greenville, S.C., and will also participate in the CBS/National Journal debate.

Bolton? One more reason on a long checklist not to vote for Mr. Gingrich.

I think this is the establishments plan C since Perry isn’t working out. Too bad the conservatives have already picked their candidate and it is Herman Cain. His supporters aren’t going anywhere and they know he is being smeared to get him out of the race. An investigator used some very sophisticated software on Cain’s denial and he passed with flying colors. This software is 50% better than a lie detecter test. He also used it on the bimbo accuser. She failed and is indicated to be lying. My vote will go to Cain if I have to write him in.

Gingrich is a hopeless, and myopic cretin who has proven that his loyalty is to whomever will line is pockets.Enough of these GOP traitors period!

I agree; Gingrich isn’t morally eligible for the White House. He doesn’t come close to Ron Paul, who has more integrity than all the other GOP candidates COMBINED. As foir John Bolton, he’s way too dangerous to hold any Government post. He was a total DISASTER as Ambassador to the UN.

He is Known as Bonkers Bolton for a reason, and he may have been the Ambassador for the UN but he got the Position by default, President Bush gave it to him while Congress wasnt in Session and they refused to ratify him later.
