In the last 24 hours, former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich has touched base with several prominent Republicans in his former home state, telling them that he intends to make a run for president in 2012 using Georgia as his base – and that he already has his eye on office space in Buckhead for a campaign headquarters.
Former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich
Gingrich met on Thursday with Nathan Deal, whom Gingrich endorsed during a critical phase of last year’s Republican primary for governor.
House Speaker David Ralston introduced Gingrich Thursday night at a downtown Atlanta affair hosted by the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce.
The visits and conversations – some face-to-face, others on the phone — appear to be an attempt by Gingrich to revive his old campaign network and lock down as much support as possible in a state won by Republican Mike Huckabee in the 2008 presidential primary.

“Who is Cain?”
I suggest you do a search. He’s pretty cool. A Black, Conservative, Tea Party Republican. I find him quite interesting. He’ll drive a lot of people Krazy!
Newt. Mitt. Sarah. Huck. Looks like Obama cruises to a 2nd term. Is this all we have? Pathetic.
Newt will suck votes away from Mitt which is good at least-
The glacier on my front lawn has a better chance of being president.
From another thread here on FR today.
“He just announced on Wolf Blitzer he’s thinking of running for President as a Republican”
Guarantee you that it will be the same outcome in 2012. These slimballs are all selected by the elites, for the elites. You will get a NWO/Trilareralists,etc.Then you'll have to select the worst of 2 evils. Sad part is that the sheeple will go to vote which just gives them credibility. Watch & see what RINO they - not you - select.
NO, he’s cozied up to the dems to much and some of it has rubbed off onto him. I’m not looking for perfect, but I can’t support his amnesty crap.
newt/pelosi 2012!!!!
Please Lord, don't let him sign a lease in my building. I'd get fired after a week. I need to call our broker and sabotage this fast.
Oh well, get ready for Obama to be reelected.
The problem is that the American people don’t know Newt is liberal. Those who have heard of him think he is very conservative. The people are too uninformed to make a selection.
“I think Newt is a smart guy...”
You can’t be that smart sitting with the Marxist ape Pelosi and cheering the global warming scam. Talk about clueless...
Duh!
Newt vs. 0bama = Newt gets my vote. Otherwise...
He should have ran instead for head of the RNC.
He’s a good thinker and strategist and good communicator, but, in spite of all that I think he would not be a good POTUS candidate.
But, he would have been a good RNC head, and certainly more energetic and visible than Steele was. Too bad his ego presides over reason when it comes to his goals.
None of those four will win.
Bachman? She won’t come as close as the four losers you named.
