A Night with Newt

Shelley and I had an interesting night tonight. Newt Gingrich was at a local bookstore signing copies of his book Pearl Harbor, so obviously we had to go.

A local radio station was broadcasting from the bookstore and shortly after we arrived, they interviewed Newt on the air and we got to listen to it. He then went and spoke for about 15 minutes on his new book and then took questions for about 20 minutes.

I have to say he is one of the best communicators I have ever heard and one of the most knowledgeable people in regards to history and how it relates to current events. I could listen to him for hours. Also, he has a very practical approach to the issues and I honestly believe if he runs for President it is out of a genuine desire to try and make things better.

We then got him to sign our book and we had our picture taken with him. He was kind of taken back because Shelley was wearing a "Newt Gingrich for President" t-shirt and he hadn't seen it before.

It was a night to remember.
