Think Progress Rove on Gingrich running for president: ‘There’s a question of his discipline.’
Rove on Gingrich running for president: Theres a question of his discipline.
Newt Gingrich has been hinting for over a year that he is thinking about running for president. Yesterday in Iowa, the former GOP House speaker indicated that he is seriously considering seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. Ive never been this serious, he said, adding, Its fair to say that by February the groundwork will have been laid to consider seriously whether or not to run. However, last night on Fox News, Karl Rove didnt seem too high on that possibility:
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: His strength and his weakness going into getting the nomination?
ROVE: He has vision, and theres a question of his discipline. When he was Speaker of the House, he had the vision to as a Republican leader, to get us into the majority and the vision to sort of give people the big picture to go after. The question was sometimes whether how consistent he was in keeping people focused on those on that vision.
