Gingrich Feels "Liberated" By Shake-up
The Hill reports:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said he feels "liberated" by the shake-up last week that resulted in the resignations of most members of his presidential campaign's senior staff.
Gingrich characterized his disagreement with top aides as being over whether to run a grassroots-style campaign versus a more traditional approach. The former Speaker's campaign manager, longtime spokesman and captains in key primary states resigned en masse last week over the disagreement.
"I frankly feel liberated," Gingrich said Tuesday night on Fox News. "With the exception of only one person, all of my original team is still with me. And in every single state where we loss some people, we've actually gained new people who are excited by the idea that we could have a genuinely different grassroots campaign to change Washington."
