What type of fuel was that? LSD with a kerosene chaser? Gingrich is the embodiment of the Progressive shift in the GOP. Remember this?

YUCK and he’s not going to make it!
If that money has to be spent to support Obama instead, especially against a fellow Democrat in his primaries, then we've got a shot at winning the White House, the senate and the house, not to mention state houses and governor seats across the nation.
You're right, Gingrich is right there with nothing. Ready to let everyone wear themselves out before dipping in to save the day. But the only day he might save is Obama and the Democrats. Campaign's started, son, time to get off the bench and start playing.
3 strong Conservative Southerners, Barbour, Huckabee and Gingrich?
Maybe one of those three, and it ain’t the one who poses on global warming loveseats with Nancy Pelosi.
Not just no, but hell no!! Gingrich is not a conservative. If Newt is the best we can do we are doomed as a party.
I am sick and tired of having to vote for the lesser of two evils. Will I vote for him if the GOP shoves him down our throats? Yes, but I will once again have to vote while holding my nose and gagging uncontrolably.
I say this sadly as there was a time when I really liked and believed Newt's words. The ‘jon stewart’ media will clean his clock.

Newt should do the right thing, and stay out of it.
A leader should have leadership qualities.
Newt has none.
We need to find a “leader”, not another “oh maybe he can win”, because he can’t win.
I’d vote for Gingrich, I went to his speech in MA and he was sooooo much easier to listen to and look upon than Zer0 or Bush.
Gingrich?
Sorry, but I refuse to believe we’re that dead.
Let Newt run. He’ll never win the GOP nomination. He might bring some good campaign fodder to be used against Zero, to the debate; but, he won’t win.
Gingrich has the winning mesage for 1994
He has accumulated far too much baggage and taken too many wrong turns to be an effective candidate in 2012.
Gingrich, and Huckabee are strong conservatives? Are you kidding?
That picture just made me burp a little throw up in the back of my mouth.... Thanks a lot.
We need as many brains possible to get into the debates whether we think they are Presidential material or not. We learn from each other. I think Gingrich, Trump, Palin, Keyes and everybody in Freerepublic from the smartest poster to the dumbest here would have something positive to bring to the debates.
Let's throw all of our ideas into the bucket, look them over and perhaps whoever does end up with the nominee will have a bunch of new ideas to mix with their own to not only beat Obama but also bring America back on its feet.
“...that removes 2 of the 3 strong Conservative Southerners for 2012.”
OK, I’m going to be as gentle as I can here.
The first step in overcoming a drinking problem is admitting you have a problem.
Let’s take a step back here for a sec. It’s OK to put on the “beer goggles” every now and then when you’re young... we’ve all done it... we’re at a bar with the buddies, we’re swilling too much beer and at closing time, we end up with a girl who, in the sober light of day, we probably might not have swapped spit with.... but those are one-night benders, son.
You’re supposed to learn from those mistakes that you don’t make long-term choices under the influence.
Here, you’re talking about at least a four year commitment. As we’re seeing in the last 10 years, making poor choices in this area has dire consequences.
I think you need to take that first step and admit you have a drinking problem, because none of these men are ‘conservatives’ in any sense of the word. I’ll give you a pass on your political judgement because you were impaired, but I’m telling you that you’re going to need to sober up before about September of this year.

Sarah Palin is more likely than Gingrich to speak the South’s language. Those complaining about her enemies usually don’t note that she’s never made any campaign promises except in a previous campaign life under McCain’s shadow. Once Palin does begin making campaign promises, the opposition will likely melt away like the ice caps in Al Gore’s fantasy world.
I agree. He is NOT WHAT WE NEED NOW! ! ! ! ! ! !
