Move over Sarah Palin, Newt is "serious."
Newt Gingrich said he is considering a run for president in 2012 and will make his final decision early next year.
"I've never been this serious," Gingrich told the AP.
The former House speaker said he will be helping fellow Republicans get reelected in the midterms, but will decide in February or March whether to seek the nomination.
Credited with the Republican takeover of the House during Bill Clinton’s presidency in 1994, Gingrich even fronted the movement to impeach the President during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Newt’s a conservative? I like Sarah but I wish she would stay under the radar a little more. Definitely stay off of Hannity.
“Is the threat of Newt running for President as serious as the threat posed by Global Warming?”
.
It’s as serious as the the threat posed by the HOAX of Global Warming.
And both are capable of wiping freedom off the map.

Democrats will never hold their leaders to any kind of moral standards because the entire lib-dem ethos is “if it feels good, do it!!” and because ideological purity trumps personal behavior in all cases. Since we never vote for them anyhow, they could care less if we think they are sleazebags.
Our leaders are required to reflect our values.
Sarah ignites the base, but I think the state-run media’s jihad against her has cemented too negative an image of her in voters’ minds. As for Newt, he’s the smartest of the bunch and would destroy 0bama in a debate, but he has way, way too much baggage to compete.
As for Romney, Huckabee and Pawlenty... if one of them emerges as the best the GOP has, count on four more years of 0bama. The hill in 2012 is steep enough as it is. If it’s one of these three going up against 0bama, they won’t have a prayer.
LOL!
“There is a role for Newt, but not as President.”
.
Septic tank cleaning is done by vacuum trucks now.
.
Based on his past performances (and lack thereof) one might suspect that he is a Newturd politician....lacking the wherewithal when and where it counts. He can sell books and does a fine job whistling to the cameras, but it is doubtful he will ever produce anything of lasting substance.
“Palin is hated more than any other by MSM”
.
For the simple reason that she resonates with middle America, and scares them to death!
.
Didn’t the media get chills in their collective legs when Obama spoke? Even the politically clueless morons are starting to make fun of the media now that the pixie dust the media scattered about Obama is blowing away . . . along with the politically clueless moron’s jobs. I think enough have come to their senses that Republicans win in 2012 with whoever they nominate. It’s hard to get a worse candidate than Obama looks now. The question is who do WE want?
“Democrats will never hold their leaders to any kind of moral standards because the entire lib-dem ethos is “if it feels good, do it!!”
I can dream can’t I?
Realisticaly you are spot on......sigh!
“newt has the best mind around.”
.
IF you like global socialism, and sky high taxes.
.
you’re correct ... newt is politically savy ... even now ... and he deserves great credit for the 1994 GOP congressional coup ... but in 2010 newt’s an electable has-been ... although a great intellectual force ...
I look foreward to President Palin totally ignoring Newt the socialist moron.
.
Doonesbury is nationally syndicated, and read by millions daily.
Yeah? That’s how we got mCain last time. The Media and the dem crossover voters chose our candidate for us!
We need to get the word out...NOT NEWT!
We need some strong conservatives to step up and give us some real choices for a change.
