Gingrich on Obama's chances: Yes he can

The LA Times

HONOLULU -- Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says the presidential candidate who best communicates a message of change will win, and so far that candidate is Sen. Barack Obama.

Gingrich, in the islands promoting his book "Real Change," predicted in a telephone interview from Maui that Obama will surge ahead of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination and pose a significant challenge to Republican Sen. John McCain.

"If McCain can't communicate a vision of dramatic change for America, he'll just lose, whether he appeases conservatives or annoys conservatives," said Gingrich, architect of the "Contract With America," which helped Republicans take the House and Senate in 1994.
