Gingrich Makes His Move, Can't Wait for Fred

Newt Gingrich is more than poised to enter the presidential race.  He is sponsoring a two-day conference in Atlanta entitled "Solutions Day."

The program contains everything and everybody he needs to build a coalition.

Gingrich has recruited one of the remaining lights of the Religious Right, David Barton of WallBuilders, and former Mayor of Indianapolis, Steve Goldsmith, an engineer of the faith-based initiative used by the Bush White House. 

The program also highlights, strangely enough, a speech by another presidential candidate, former Gov. Mike Huckabee, speaking on  "Transforming Health Care with Wellness and Ownership."

But as I look down the program, I get the sense of a man who understands the key issues in America's future and is prepared to address them.  Very impressive, indeed.

Gingrich has said he is waiting to see how the Fred Thompson run goes -- it looks as if he isn't waiting any longer.
