Two and a half years ago, Georgia Republican Newt Gingrich led the Republican Party to an historic electoral victory in the House of Representatives. But now, the Republican Revolution appears to be eating its own children.
Reports out of Capitol Hill suggest that the Republican leadership tried to oust Speaker Newt Gingrich this week. Also, yesterday, Representative Bill Paxon, a Republican from New York, resigned his post as one of Gingrich’s top lieutenants after reportedly participating in the coup against the Speaker.
