Not true, Louie Gomert nominated Newt Gingrich's as a candidate for Speaker.
Oddly enough the Speaker of the House does not need to be a member of Congress.
I expect Louie will have an attractive opponent in the next election.
He was lambasted when he folded in the "shut the Gov't down" fight.
He resigned shortly after amid accusations that he was having an affair.
Not a good choice.
