Newt to New Hampshire

It's not surprising that Newt Gingrich is keynoting a speech in New Hampshire on January 30.

What is surprising is that -- according to the New Hampshire Union Leader -- it will be the first time he's been to the Granite State in three years.

He'll be talking to a "Grassroots Communication Conference" about new ways of reaching voters, constituents, and activists.

Other speakers so far scheduled for the conference are Andrew Breitbart, publisher of Breitbart.com and Breitbart.tv, and Stephen Gillett, Starbucks' Digital Ventures senior vice president, chief information officer and general manager.

Concord political strategist Michael Dennehy, a consultant for STEWARD and Tausch, called Gingrich "the pre-eminent creative thinker in the Republican Party. We could not ask for a better national figure to help underscore the importance of new media communications in campaigns and public advocacy today."
