Newt Endorses Jeb
His brother's approval ratings are in the
cellar, and that whole dynasty thing doesn't help. But don't underestimate
Jeb Bush's prospects as a future presidential contender, says former U.S.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

young enough guy (53) that he has a great future," Gingrich said on the
Political Connections television show airing today on Bay News 9. "I just
think his natural, personal ability is so great
that people are going to realize he is not his father and he's not his
brother.

accustomed to sharing with defense contractor Mitchell Wade.
And I certainly had no campaign contributions, illegal or otherwise, to
offer her.
