Much like his hero Alvin Toffler, Gingrich loves making predictions.

I predict that in approximately 37 more years, Newt will realize that it is no longer 1994, and that he is an irrelevant has-been.

Then SHE can be the come-back-kid. After that the puppet master will line up a third party “real conservative” candidate and we’ll have another President elected with less than 50% of the vote. Where have I seen this bad movie before?

IN the New York Times,October 17, 2007, they reported “Mr. Gringrich, who shut down the federal government in 1995 in a fit of pique with President Bill Clinton, made a prediction about the 2008 election: Hillary Clinton will likely win.”

I guess if you predict every candidate will win, you can’t be wrong :-)

Obama may win Iowa. But I think Newt is giving Obama Sugar Mama Oprah way too much credit and really dismeaning voters albeit Democrat ones by saying they will be swayed by an Oprah celebrity blitz. Obama could have sealed the deal in Iowa if he had given any kind of solid debate performance in Las Vegas. CNN may have stacked the deck against him, but still his debate performance was very second rate and not ready for prime time.

I guess we can only pray that Obama will get the nod. He is a true lightweight.

Plus, he seems like someone who would be uncomfortable adopting Clintonian tactics in the general election.

1. Who is Obama?

2. What on earth are people thinking if they believe a 2-bit congressman has the experience to run the last remaining “superpower”?

The former House Speaker said he has "great respect" for Senator Clinton and the Clinton "machine"

Why do you have to say it like that Newt? Can't you say Hil-Rod is "formidable", or a "serious threat" or something? "Great respect" is for people who deserve it and you give a measure of creidibility just saying those words. Words have meaning you know.

"I think it's a significant asset to (Obama) and he's not married to her."

That's the kind of quote people tend to not only remember, but to repeat.

Dems don’t think, they emote. And they support symbolism over substance. All their front-runners are 2-bit pols with no experience. They get to pick which symbol they want: the black man, the woman, or the pretty boy with the sick wife.

Pathetic, isn’t it?

Who doesn't have "great respect" for the Clinton machine?

I'd just rather not take a ride on it, if you know what I mean...

My ex-Congressman certainly is hedging his other predictions:
