Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will join the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) during the YRNF Super Tuesday Watch Party event to discuss the Super Tuesday primary results on a conference call at 10:00 p.m. Eastern that night (Call-in number 218.936.1600, access code 293143#). YRs throughout the country will gather with their local city and county clubs to watch the election returns roll in, cheer on their favorite GOP candidates, and analyze the future of the presidential race. GOPAC Chairman Michael Steele will host the nationwide event via YouTube video.
From coast-to-coast, Young Republicans (YRs) will unite to watch the election returns from Super Tuesday. They will be connected and interact with other YR Watch Parties through online networks such as Facebook and YouTube. By uploading their own videos and photos and viewing those from other clubs spanned across the country, YRs will be able to react and respond to results from the 22 primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday.
Jennifer Shoemaker, event organizer, said, "It is simply wonderful to see YR clubs meeting locally and connecting with other YRs around the nation. The enthusiasm I hear about Super Tuesday and about these Watch Parties from YRs nationwide is palpable." Jessica Colón, YRNF Chairman, stated, "The Young Republicans are ready to rally behind a nominee and send a Republican president to the White House in 2008. We are delighted to have Speaker Gingrich and Chairman Steele headlining our Super Tuesday event. We will take the momentum from this event forward as we continue to energize our demographic in this election of our lifetime."

His new book, Real Change: From the World that Fails to the World that Works, is available in bookstores and amazon.com.
