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.

No thanks, no Newt, no contest. If Newt becomes a candidate, no money for RNC. Not only not for Newt, but NEVER. The days of progressive Republicans getting any attention from me, outside of causing nausea, are done.
There’s “refute” and “repudiate”, but I’ve never heard “refutiate”
WOW! She must have spoiled your night. On the other hand, perhaps it’s your hearing? Or is that under the ‘never’ column?
MSM will go after Palin 10 times more than Newt. Most voters
get all their info from MSM. Neither one of them can defeat Zero.
Newt has baggage. Palin is hated more than any other by MSM.
Same here, but then, I will vote for whoever is running against Obama.
“All you suck-up Pubbies keep this shit up, and I’m gonna run. And nobody - on either side of the ideological spectrum - is gonna like my platform.”
Well THAT should bring in the votes!
Sarah Palin is absolutely gutting The Won on Hannity right now.
Forget Newt. He must have a new book coming out...
Still, they promote the same old retreads. It's very frustrating.
Newt had his chance as Speaker of the House and he blew it by not being able to keep his zipper zipped. I won’t forget that!
Palin and Gingrich are champagne compared to the bilgewater we’ve been served up by the Republicans since Reagan. Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain . . . that’s been the lineup since Reagan.
Were you hit in the head with a shovel as a child? (rhetorical question indicating strong disagreement with your viewpoint).
Newt is stuck in 1994.
“Same here, but then, I will vote for whoever is running against Obama.”
Hopefully there will be a lot of that sentiment. No more pouting at home, the usurper must go away.
newt has the best mind around.
his presence will force looking at issues long term rather than for just the next 5 minutes.
he will run to introduce a new direction to counter the failed moonbat excess.
NO Newt.
I like Newt as a speaker and pundit. When he is good he is really good. As a speaker and a pundit.
When he went weak in the war on Clinton he ruined himself politically and it is doubtful he can ever recover. He had one chance only and that was to rally the troops when the Obamist mob took power, and go after the O hammer and tong.
He didn’t do it. His one chance to redeem himself was to go after Obama like a screaming banshee and he didn’t do it.
So he will never be president. In the fight of the century, the leaders are already leading and the fighters are already fighting. Its a pretty short list. Palin, DeMint, Bachmann, Ryan, maybe a couple of others. Newt has done pretty good too but with his negatives he needed to be all over O like fire on kerosene and he wasn’t.
The other wannabes? Romney? Pawlenty? Not even in the game. No one missed them and no one is going to miss them. Anyone running this season who thinks his rival is a fellow Republican doesn’t understand that the day for normal politics is over. Those days will come around again but it isn’t now.
The MSM went after Reagan. He won. They go after every Republican and the wuss defeatists say “go with the moderate, he’s got a better chance. Then we end up with Bush 1 (one term) or Bush 2 (two terms leading to the threatened destruction of the country through debt piled up by Bush and Obama).
Gov Cristie for President 2012.
If only FReepers could elect the president Sarah would win by landslide.
Unfortunately there are leftists, centrists, moderates. And many conservatives even hate Palin. Just yesterday I was having a beer with a country club member and he said he could never vote for Palin. I asked him on which specific issues he disagrees with Palin. He could not come up with one!
