Former Gingrich Assistant Wants Draft

A former press assistant to Newt Gingrich, David Kralik, has started a "Draft Newt For President" movement.

Gingrich says he won't decide whether to run for president until September. A former campaign manager for Gingrich says he fully expects Gingrich to enter the race next year.

"America is ready for his leadership again," said Kralik. "He's the only conservative."

Kralik has created a Web site, www.draftnewt.org, that will serve as the headquarters of what he calls a grass-roots effort to increase the Georgia Republican's profile with primary voters. He says funds raised on the site will be used to buy TV and radio ads promoting Gingrich.
