CNN: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich isn’t happy with the Republican National Committee.The RNC tries too hard. Needs to accept loss, grieve and move on. Love the scary music:
In a letter addressed Tuesday to Mike Duncan, chairman of the RNC, Gingrich slams the committee for releasing a recent Web video that seeks to connect Obama to embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
In a nearly three-minute spot entitled “Questions Remain,” the RNC seeks to raise questions about involvement by Obama or his staff in Blagojevich’s alleged plan to award Obama’s former Senate seat in exchange for political favors.
Gingrich calls the video a “destructive distraction” and asserts that the national committee “is engaged in the sort of negative, attack politics that the voters rejected in the 2006 and 2008 election cycles.”
Instead, “Republicans should be working to help the incoming president succeed in meeting” the “real challenges” the nation is facing, Gingrich writes to Duncan. When Republicans believe Obama is wrong, the GOP should “offer a better solution, instead of just opposing him,” Gingrich also wrote.
The letter ends with Gingrich’s suggestion that the RNC “pull the ad down immediately.”

Gingrich Tells RNC to Cut It Out - Support Obama
So far Colin Powell, John McCain and Newt Gingrich are among the republicans who have publicly berated the RNC's attempts to link Obama to Blago. Gingrich says they should get to work. Thanks Newt.
