Published: September 29, 2007
ATLANTA - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has given himself a deadline of Oct. 21 to raise $30 million for a possible presidential bid, saying the task is difficult but not impossible.
'It is steep. This is like climbing Mount Everest,' Gingrich said.
'It's improbable, but either there's a citizen desire for a citizen candidate, or there isn't,' he said.
The Republican said he will give his Atlanta-based political adviser, Randy Evans, until Oct. 21 to raise pledges of $30 million. Gingrich said he will not run if he fails to generate enough support.
