Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who said on a Sunday morning television talk show that he might be "compelled" to run for president if he could raise enough money, was provided a blogging platform by Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee on Monday.
Gingrich on Monday guest blogged on Huckabee site as part of the campaign's "Vertical Day" initiative.
The initiative is meant to revive interest in Huckabee's candidacy, and to drive traffic to his site, with the governor asking supporters to spread the word about his candidacy online.
The presidential hopeful is providing potential supporters with an incentive to do his viral marketing for him by offering them tickets to the November CNN/YouTube debate, and t-shirts, among other things.
Gingrich used the blogging platform to invite Huckabee's supporters to participate in his American Solutions workshop, much of which will manifest itself on the Internet, on Thursday.
One of the workshops was apparently designed by Huckabee. Wrote Gingrich:
The launch of the workshop coincides with the 13th anniversary of unfinished and much-ballyhooed Gingrich's "Contract with America" -- which according to the Cook Political Report, really wasn't quite as influential as the Republicans like to say it is.
Less than 30% of voters on election day said they'd ever heard of the phrase, according to an old report from 1999.
