Newt Gingrich has a column about the growing anti-Washington mood in the country.
"Astute analysts ignore the Washington conventional wisdom and focus on the political winds blowing from the fifty states.
And the public opinion currents in America today are becoming eerily similar to those circulating in 1993."
Of course, we know what happened in 1994, i.e. the Republican takeover of Congress and the US Senate.
My guess is that Gingrich is right.
Pres BO is playing with fire on GITMO.
He is betting that unsustainable deficits will do the trick.
And he is assuming that the public wants more federal control of private industries.
Keep an eye on Gingrich's prediction.
He was there in 1977, as a young congressman from Georgia who became part of the Reagan revolution.
He was there in 1993, as one of the authors of The Contract with America that paved the way for the electoral success in 1994.
He is around again.
Could Gingrich lead this revolt all the way to the White House? I don't think so but his ideas could help someone like Gov Romney or our own Gov Perry of Texas.
