Technically you are correct.
However Newt is a clever man. He knew how it would be portrayed in the media. It's clearly a shot at Palin.

Gingrich says Palin will not be the future GOP leader By Alexander Bolton Posted: 11/16/08 01:05 PM [ET]
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) is batting down the hype that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin heads into 2012 as the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.
Palin energized the Republican base after GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) tapped her as his running mate and she has tried to preserve her high public profile since Election Day.
But Gingrich, an architect of the Republican revolution of 1994, took Palin down a notch, asserting that she would not become the party’s leader, as some have predicted.
“I think that she is going to be a significant player,” said Gingrich during an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation”. “But she’s going to be one of 20 or 30 significant players. She’s not going to be the de facto leader.”
Since the defeat of the GOP ticket, Palin has pursued an aggressive media strategy, scheduling a full slate of interviews to keep her face on television.

Raised taxes?
Yes, I am too.
Gov. Palin talks the talk and appears to walk the walk. She’ll have name recognition on her side, and four years to sharpen her command of policy/issues. She’ll have some trouble if Huckabee runs again—they’d likely split the Christian vote in the early primaries, which could leave the door open yet again to one of the Country Club boyz. It all depends on who else is running.
Are you jealous, Newt?? I'm not waiting for 2012 to get the GOP back into the game, I'm going to get the GOP to wake up for the 2009 elections (NJ and VA governor's races IIRC and local races), so we can rebuild the GOP from the ground up.
In 2012 -- Palin/Jindal.
As for the Global warming crap, she had to go along with McCain, he was the head of the ticket she had to tow the line a bit if she wanted to be VP. That goes for many other things she said and did during her short time at bat(about 12 weeks). She was set up for terrible interviews. If you would listen to her speeches when she isn't under the gun of McCain you will see where she stands and what she knows. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of governing.
I will vote for Sarah Palin in the next Presidential election, if she runs. If she runs and is not nominated for the Republican ticket, I will work towards getting her to run as an Independent, and if she does that, good luck to the Republican Party winning the Presidency in 2012. Many of the base will vote for her regardless of what ticket she runs on.
yes. She raised the sales tax to pay for a sports center and she raised taxes on oil companies.
Whether Sarah Palin becomes the leader or one of the 30 leaders will be up to Sarah. Given her experience, intelligence and will, I would say she could become one of the top 3 if she chooses to do so. Her biggest problem will be the Republican elitests and they know who they are but so do we.

There are consequences. Now she can’t back out of those stances without looking foolish.
Thank you Newt!!!!
And gave the money to the people of Alaska.
Alaska had been content with crumbs for a very long time, till Palin saw they were being screwed.
Newt’s a good guy. He’ll be a great Secretary of State under President Palin.
>> She’s not going to be the de facto leader
oh, the irony.
Ug, it’s not her per say, it’s what she stands for! And what she stands for is the future of the party and the kind of leadership the party needs!!!
And gave the money to the people of Alaska.
spreading the wealth...
Yeah she’s a socialist. Thats the ticket.
Why read the article when we can be outraged at the headline? /s
A good guy? A guy who goes into the hospital room to tell his cancer-stricken wife that he needs a divorce because he and his bimbo want to get married?
Some of us do not forget!
no, but she’s not a fiscal conservative either. She’s like Huckabee.
