I don’t believe “Reaganism” is dead, because I believe, especially in light of the grassroots tea party movement, conservatism is still alive.
Reagan still tops the “best” Presidents lists that are put out each year, and many still harken back to him when speaking, and strive for his popularity. “Reagan Democrats” remain an important demographic.

Ugh, had to switch off 24/7 to take a phone call and come back to Mitch Daniels....I think I’ll go work for a while.

To hold the long-running grudge against Gingrich on this simple statement of truth or assigning to it the alternate meaning is just strange.
To the contrary. I have much respect for Newt's knowledge of American History and love for this country. It is not us who keep this grudge alive. Newt has been given many opportunities to "find himself" again, but it is HE who keeps stepping in it just like he did with the Paul Ryan comments.
While technically we are no longer living in the Era of Reagan, with the momentum created by the Tea Party movement, politicians such as Newt should have STRONGLY backed Paul Ryan in order to keep that momentum moving forward.

What’s wrong with Rick Perry? He wants boots on the ground instead of a fence. What else?

Who would be worthwhile? I mean this in the most sincere way. Who out there who has not announced would just bring down the house? (besides Palin)

He’s moved toward embracing conservatism, but, he has enough of that “compassionate” conservatism bs in him to make me weary.

No, I can't listen. But I did hear Rush's spat with Newt on "Era of Reagan is over" where he would not even let Newt finish the sentence and explain, and couldn't for the life of me understand why Rush went off the way he did.
I did hear the excerpt in question from interview with Gregory, and I heard Gingrich differently than what I had read from others about "what he said," answering a very specific question.
Newt's answers and speeches usually don't fit into the sound bite, and what he says is often, and deliberately, "lost in translation"... e.g., remember "Let Medicare... will wither on the wine"? They have been doing it to Gingrich ever since, and his Republican competitors were only happy to join in, to undermine him.
Newt wants to devolve Medicare from federal program to the states and let each state decide how they want to design the program (possibly, by leaving the federal program only to send block grants to the states, so it's a Medicare in name only). If state wants to implement a program that bankrupts it, with or without individual mandate, that's up to the state's voters. Completely in line with 10th amendment.
I prefer to hear things from the "horse's mouth," not translated by "horses' arses" who have different agenda.
See what Newt has been doing to counteract Alinsky's "community organizers" - Gingrich's Secret Weapon: Newt Inc. - FR / WSJ, 2011 May 15
I prefer someone who actually does implement and advances Reagan's / conservative ideas, rather than hear someone spouting conservative PC slogans (like McCain saying he was a "soldier in Reagan's army" etc. etc.) without any concrete ideas of how to do anything of the kind.

Obviously, you know my bias. ;)
I just want someone who energizes me. After that debacle of a debate in South Carolina, the only person that was on that stage that could come close to waking me up is Herman Cain. It’s frustrating because what seems to happen is we all rush up, dying to grasp the coat of an one issue pony...long winded way to say, I kind of agree with this caller; I want someone with some cojones, who is going to fight. Not very many people who’ve announced willing to do that.

I heard that rumor isn’t true. Maybe someone will persuade Perry to jump in....

The whole horse, known as Newt, was sitting on the couch with Nancy Pelosi.
