Newt Gingrich is seeking to recover from his terrible, no good, very bad week with an upcoming Web video featuring Iowa supporters countering the media who say that he is already doomed — recruited for the vid by none other than Newt himself.

The Des Moines Register reports on Gingrich asking supporters at an event today to appear in the video:

“Any of you who are willing to do just a brief video with him (an Iowa campaign staffer) of why you’re for me it would be very helpful ’cause we have to sort of convince the Washington news media that actually the voters will decide when this election is over, not five or six pundits,” Gingrich said.

He continued: “We have a lot of people who would like to see this campaign go all the way to next year and actually talk about ideas that are sometimes confusing and actually talk about solutions.”

The site of the event where Gingrich and his supporters are taping this video in order to face down the Washington news media: Waterloo, Iowa.
