Newt's Buzz Is Growing

An informed IA GOP activist with no horse in WH '08 is very impressed by the size of crowds Gingrich is drawing: "Better than McCain or Rudy. Certainly better than the rest of the lot. I'm honeslty shocked at the crowds he is getting." He apparently got 300 at Iowa State; and the GOP had its biggest Lincoln Day Dinner crowd ever with Newt and Hannity as the draws. This activist also relays another observation about Gingrich: "He also really has a sense of message that these other guys don't have. And he knows how to gin up media better than any of the rest" (Hotline sources, 5/1).
