Gingrich Vows To Soldier On

Politico reports:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich plans to tell supporters in an email this morning that he will overcome the upheaval in his campaign and “carry the message of American renewal to every part of this great land, whatever it takes.”

A day after losing nearly all of his top staff in a wave of resignations, Gingrich will make it clear that he has no intention of backing away from the 2012 race. Instead, he says he’ll run a citizen-driven campaign focused strongly on the economy.

“When I announced my candidacy for President of the United States on May 11, I set out to run a substantive, solutions-oriented campaign built upon an alternative idea. To make Washington smaller, we as citizens must become bigger,” Gingrich writes in an as-yet-unreleased message. “Because the renewal of America can only begin with you, this will be your campaign. As someone who has been in public life for nearly forty years, I know full well the rigors of campaigning for public office. I will endure them.”

Gingrich says he'll debate in New Hampshire on Monday. He previously announced in a statement Thursday that his campaign would "begin anew" on Sunday in Los Angeles, where he was already scheduled to address a Republican Jewish Coalition event.
