Newt denounces Blago attacks Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is denouncing Republican attempts to link President-elect Barack Obama and disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Senator John McCain Sunday distanced himself from Republican National Committee attacks on Obama, and in a letter to RNC Chairman Mike Duncan, Gingrich went further, writing: I was saddened to learn that at a time of national trial, when a president-elect is preparing to take office in the midst of the worst financial crisis in over seventy years, that the Republican National Committee is engaged in the sort of negative, attack politics that the voters rejected in the 2006 and 2008 election cycles. The recent web advertisement, “Questions Remain,” is a destructive distraction. Clearly, we should insist that all taped communications regarding the Senate seat should be made public. However, that should be a matter of public policy, not an excuse for political attack. In a time when America is facing real challenges, Republicans should be working to help the incoming President succeed in meeting them, regardless of his Party. From now until the inaugural, Republicans should be offering to help the President-elect prepare to take office. Furthermore, once President Obama takes office, Republicans should be eager to work with him when he is right, and, when he is wrong, offer a better solution, instead of just opposing him. This is the only way the Republican Party will become known as the “better solutions” party, not just an opposition party. And this is the only way Republicans will ever regain the trust of the voters to return to the majority. This ad is a terrible signal to be sending about both the goals of the Republican Party in the midst of the nation’s troubled economic times and about whether we have actually learned anything from the defeats of 2006 and 2008. The RNC should pull the ad down immediately.

Unless the Republican Candidate in 2012 can figure out how to win the Whitehouse without winning Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and any other state with any Auto Industry Workers, then I figure those words will hold up for a while. Also, the Republicans have made this a battle AGAINST the Unions (which seems really dumb), so you can write off any States with strong Union Activism. Most Firemen and Police Officers are BIG Union guys.
