On Wednesday Newt Gingrich spoke at a press conference at Georgetown University.

Republicans Feast on “Economic” Sour Grapes
Over the course of the last three years, Americans have very consistently told pollsters that the “number 1″ issue facing the country is how to improve the domestic economy.
