HILLARY WON’T QUIT IOWA FIGHT; NEWT’S CLOCK IS TICKING; BOEHNER CALLS IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL A “PIECE OF SHIT”

THURSDAY NEWS UPDATE.

HILLARY WON’T QUIT IOWA FIGHT; NEWT’S CLOCK IS TICKING; BOEHNER ON IMMIGRATION REFORM.
CLINTON: An internal strategy memo written by a US Senator Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Campaign Manager suggested that she skip the Iowa caucuses in favor of concentrating on New Hampshire and the following primary states. The memo was leaked to the media through a rival campaign. Within hours, Clinton distanced herself from the memo. “I have to make the decisions and I’ve made the decision [to compete in Iowa]. I haven’t revisited it. I’m not agonizing over it. I never saw the memo. I’ve never had it read to me,” she said to the Des Moines Register. Recent polls place Clinton third in the state behind John Edwards and Barack Obama among like Dem caucus participants.
GINGRICH: Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) is edging closer toward entering the 2008 White House race. First he announces Wednesday he plans to attend the important Ames Straw Poll this summer in Iowa — but not as a candidate. Instead, he said he plans to attend to help spread his message about the issues he thinks the party must discuss. He’ll be having a booth at the event promoting his American Solutions PAC. Then, on a Dallas radio show later in the day, Gingrich said he is looking “to see if there is a requirement for a citizen candidate [for President] who is committed to bold language and clearer solutions … and if there is, I’ll probably end up running.” He says he’ll announce his decision in September. Hint: Gingrich will announce his candidacy on September 27, 2007, the 13th anniversary of when he first unveiled the Contract with America campaign in 1994. His website even has a prominent countdown clock running towards that date.
IMMIGRATION: The Hotline reported on some unexpected remarks by House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH). Speaking before a crowd of GOP activists in DC on Tuesday evening, Boehner discussed the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill compromise backed by the White House. “I promised the President today that I wouldn’t say anything bad about … this piece of shit bill,” he said. Here was Wednesday’s follow-up spin on the comments by Boehner’s spokesman: “Mr. Boehner’s comment was nothing but an off-the-cuff wisecrack made jokingly during a private gathering. While he has serious concerns about the Senate bill, it’s unfortunate that this comment in particular found its way into print.”
