Gingrich Says Gonzales Should Go

ABC News' Lindsay Hamilton reports: Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., slammed both Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the White House over the U.S. attorneys firing controversy, going as far as saying the country would be better off with a new team at the Justice Department.
"This is the most mishandled, artificial, self-created mess that I can remember in the years I've been active in public life," Gingrich told Fox News' Chris Wallace.
Gingrich, a possible '08 Republican presidential contender, defended the president's right to ask U.S. attorneys to resign, but said there isn't any doubt that the situation has been poorly managed.
When asked whether or not he thought Gonzales should resign, Gingrich replied, "I cannot imagine how he is going to be effective for the rest of this administration… I think the country, in fact, would be much better served to have a new team at the Justice Department, across the board."

Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., knows about resignations. He resigned his seat in Congress. I have not see this fact mentioned when his name is included with GOP Pres. contenders. I wonder who his VP running mate would be.
