Newt Gingrich, running on empty, claims "You cannot put a gun rack in a [Chevy] Volt."

"Looks like Newt Gingrich is getting into the right-wing, 'let's-all-hate-on-the-Chevrolet-Volt' bandwagon.

During a campaign stop at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, the trailing Republican candidate said, 'Let me start from a simple premise that Oklahomans will understand: you cannot put a gun rack in a Volt,' Talking Points Memo reports. It appears that Gingrich is trying out a new attack line, as Raw Story is reporting that he used a similar line at an event in Suwanee, GA. There, he continued, 'There is no reason not to believe that we couldn't stabilize with American production by drowning demand in supply the old-fashioned, free market way. There's no reason we couldn't have a stable price around $2 or $2.50 [per gallon].'

Nope, no reason at all, right?"
