Newt did go on to do other things outside of political office... for 10 years now.
Perhaps he’s ready now to get back into elected office.
Perhaps not.
It’s up to him, isn’t it?
It’s not up to us to decide who runs for what office.
I think that’s the very thing that drove Sarah out of office.
Too many expectations and demands from her fans trying to plot her course for her.

But leaving congress after a long run and a climb to the top which has come to an end is different than abruptly leaving in the middle of your first and only term as governor. She doesn’t have much of a record like Newt did.
But if she can reenter politics at some point will depend on what she does after this, and how long she’s away.
She won’t be able to make a comeback before 2012, if that is what you’re hoping for. it would take years of reshaping her image, as Newt has successfully done.

But again, I don’t know that Newt would run for office again, or he would get very far.
It sure would make things interesting though if he did.

For some reason, this doesn't quite square with your earlier insistence that she is finished politically. That in a nutshell is why I found your posts so illogical as to be insubstantial.

So basically Palin is free to do exactly what Newt did, following a similar path, since she was very successful at getting her agenda accomplsihed in short order.

Not her fault she was more efficient than Newt was..

SO I suspect now that you realize that, you would cut Palin some slack since she in many ways is following your boy Newt and being as how I would assume you are a conservative, you would give Palin the same courtesy as you do Gingrich.

Didn't think so...
