Gingrich coming to Spokane
The Spokesman Review ^ | February 21, 2012; 9:50am

Posted on 02/21/2012 12:06:09 PM PST by Red Steel

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will hold a town hall-style forum in Spokane on Thursday, Spokane County Republican Chairman Matthew Pederson confirmed.

Details will be released later today, he said.

Gingrich is the third GOP presidential hopeful to make a stop in the Inland Northwest. Rick Santorum spoke in Coeur d'Alene last week and Ron Paul held a rally at the Spokane Convention Center on Friday.

Mitt Romney's son will visit Spokane Valley this afternoon.

Gingrich, despite being from Georgia, has noteworthy ties to Inland Northwest politics that he may or may not dwell on in his visit.

He engineered the 1994 Republican sweep that — among other things — took leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives away from Spokane when Republican George Nethercutt beat sitting House Speaker Tom Foley, a Democrat. Republicans, after capturing control of the House that year, chose Gingrich to replace Foley.

Washington holds its precinct caucuses and straw poll on March 3. Idaho's caucuses are March 6.

His townhall speech yesterday at Oral Roberts U. was terrific. I can not understand how anybody could hear him speak and not vote for him.

Go Newt!

Bring it on, Mr. Speaker.

I saw you in Florida; you were awesome.

I loved the part when you said that you would take on

the Obama's unconstitutional activities.

Are you in the Western Washington area? I heard Newt on Hannity’s radio program yesterday. He said that he might be making two appearances in Washington, one in the Seattle area and one in Spokane. Since the Spokane appearance has materialized, it’s pretty likely the Seattle one will too. Good luck!

Yes... if I were any further west, I’d be in the Pacific Ocean. LOL

Seattle is a 3 hour drive, but I might be able to make that one. It would sure be great if it were to take place on a weekend.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will hold town hall-style forums in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene on Thursday, Republican party officials confirmed.

His Spokane event is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Bing Theater in downtown Spokane. The venues and times for Idaho events are still being determined, but Gingrich is expected to be in Coeur d’Alene Thursday around 7 p.m. and at a private fundraiser at a Harrison home on Thursday around 4 p.m., Idaho GOP executive director Jonathan Parker said.

I'm still not sure if this is the day after tomorrow, or if it's Thursday of next week.
