Newt Gingrich hopes to revive his struggling presidential campaign by touting his energy platform amid rising gasoline prices.
The former House Speaker is polling far behind GOP rivals Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney. Gingrich, asked Tuesday night on Fox News how he can “rise from the ashes,” had this to say:
I think in my case I rise by focusing on an American energy policy, getting back to $2.50-a-gallon gasoline, outlining both the economic and national-security implications, indicating that instead of bowing to a Saudi king we ought to be drilling, and our goal should be to be so independent that we don't care what the Iranians do in the Straits of Hormuz.
