My boss, Newt Gingrich spoke to Essence Magazine’s Cynthia Gordy about the future of the party including the ridiculous Limbaugh/Steele situation. If anyone is trying to figure out how to lead the party, then read this interview.

ESSENCE.COM: You’ve been an advocate for the Republican Party reaching out more to African-Americans. Do you see the election of Michael Steele as RNC chairman as a sign of the Party’s interest in achieving this?
NEWT GINGRICH: I think that a number of members reached the conclusion that we had to develop a much broader party with a much broader appeal. Of the candidates who were running, Michael Steele presented the best hope of communicating that you could be a Republican and be part of a broader coalition than the historic Republican Party. I would expect Chairman Steele to be comfortable going to the NAACP, the Urban League and any place in America talking to people about why having a private sector-oriented party that had lower taxes was in your interest. Or why, for example, from the standpoint of many inner city African-American parents, having the right-to-school choice so your child could go to a school that was safe and get a good education mattered to you.
