Gingrich issued a statement saying it's time for him for move
forward...and that the Republican conference needs to be unified.

declaring
he would challenge Gingrich for the speaker's job.

the
House to the Democrats...and not making any gains in the Senate.
On

On another front, Oklahoma Congressman, Steve Largent is
challenging

surprised to learn of Gingrich's decision. In a statement, Mr.
Clinton called Gingrich a worthy adversary who worked for America's
