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.

If it comes down to those two, I'll take Palin. Fortunately, it shouldn't.

Newtie was serious when he sat on the couch with Nazi Pelosi.

If it comes down to those two..

I'll stay home, like I should've done last time.

[KoRn]

I have my doubts as to whether either one of them would be electable.

[hinckley buzzard]

I would too. Through Haley Barbour into the mix and Newt comes in third. All other republicans will kindly get the F* out of the way and not clog up the works.

I would vote for Newt in a heartbeat.....flame away!

No such luck. Romney and Huck and Pawlenty each think it’s their turn.

I love Newt and I think he’s got more brains in his little finger than anyone currently in DC has in their whole bodies. It’s too bad Newt has so much baggage—the socialists will destroy him.

[VanDeKoik]

Yeah, and I’m serious about playing in the Super Bowl.

Stick to your day job, Newt. Whatever the heck that is.

[Artemis Webb]

Whatever else some might think about Newt he is politically savvy. I think if he HONESTLY plans on gauging his level of support in Iowa he’ll find that his ship has sailed.

[pissant]

If he’s so smart, why was he pimping Algore’s global warming farce?

I would vote for Newt in a heartbeat.....flame away!

We need a candidate who can win. Newt's negatives are sky high.

[TaMoDee]

Looks like you could fit on that couch next to Nancy.

Forget it Newt, you screwed up and you do NOT get a do over.

[ElkGroveDan]

...and he already has his running mate all picked out.
