Gingrich starts fresh in L.A.

Just days after his top staff resigned en masse, Newt Gingrich on Sunday sought to reboot his troubled presidential bid with a foreign policy speech accusing the Obama administration of placing "political correctness above common sense" in its dealings on the world stage. AP in the Daily News.

The address before the Republican Jewish Coalition, scheduled for Sunday night in Beverly Hills, was to be Gingrich's first since he was rocked by the sudden exodus of 16 senior strategists and advisers. They bolted Thursday less than a month after his White House campaign was formally launched.

Pledging to soldier on, Gingrich vowed to start fresh in Los Angeles, where he said his campaign "begins anew."
