Newt Gingrinch shined briefly in '94, and he often has some interesting things to say, but the Republican Party can do better than this. I know, he has the Conservative tag, but his negatives, especially with women, are too much to overcome. Just hinting at a run could deter others from even thinking about it. C'mon GOP, you can do better than this.

I can hardly wait for his campaign: "Why I have so much 'family values' I just can't keep them contained in just one family"

A Newt Gingrich run in 2012? Quite possible but... | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times
He isn't going to run, if he didn't in 2008 he is just keeping his name around so he can do guest show gigs. He has great ideas, but yes, his personal life would kill him.

Gingrich Calls On The Country To ‘Rise Up’ To ‘Repeal’ Health Care Reform If It Passes

GINGRICH: Let me make a straightforward promise. These bills can’t be implemented before 2013. If they pass a bill which is a disaster the number one campaign issue in 2010 and 2012 is going to be repeal the bill.

We repealed the catastrophic health legislation that was a disaster. We can repeal this monstrosity. If they’re determined to put something bad in the country, the country can rise up, defeat the people who do it and repeal it.

I hope he runs so the GOP won't win and people will see what a ridiculous party they are.

If Huckabee runs, it will be a disaster for the GOP as well.

I think Newt and Fred Phelps should run.

Newt is a very unlikeable person. I cannot imagine he would have much support.

Real conservatives don't like Newt. Maybe that's why Obama asked him to help fix education.

Hahaha...love the first review on YT regarding the above video:

"Newt Gingrich is amazingly similar to Bill Clinton - both are pot smoking, draft-dodging adulterers from poor Southern families."
