Gingrich to Decide in September

Newt Gingrich has said that he will decide in September if he will run for the Republican nomination for President.

Speaking at the National Review Institute's Conservative Summit on Saturday, Gingrich took a swipe at those who have already declared, calling the whole process "stupid".

Gingrich said that running for President 2 years out from the election is because of the control of consultants, and they are no friends of the Conservative movement.

Citing popular Presidents, Ronald Reagan and John F Kennedy as not making their announcements until less than 12 months before the election, Gingrich said candidates should spend the next year talking about solutions, not raising money.

He said that he would be making an announcement near Labor Day.

POST/ABC Poll - Gingrich on 9%

The latest Washington Post and ABC poll has Newt Gingrich sitting on 9% as preferred GOP Presidential nominee - not a bad result for an undeclared candidate.

Rudy Giuliani is in the lead with 34% of those surveyed, followed by John McCain on 27%. Former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney was also on 9%.

The poll has a margin of error of 4% and was conducted last week.
