I expect we will be starting to hear more about Gingrich’s history soon. It seems when Gingrich had the contract with America he was on top of things, then he went downhill after he was not Speaker.
This morning Rove was on Fox I turned it off before he came on I refuse to watch their politics again. What I watched was a guy with historic military medals. At any rate, I am sure that Rove was going to say that Perry’s support is going to go to Romney and Romney will be candidate.
Thoughts?????

“It seems when Gingrich had the contract with America he was on top of things, then he went downhill after he was not Speaker.”

No, he went downhill just after he became Speaker. First he was full of himself enough to call a special address to the nation—the Speaker of the House’s address—where he lectured the American public. Then he proceeded to be completely unable to compel his new wave of Republicans to do more than vote on things—not FOR things—that were in the Contract. He was an unethical weasel, too. Gingrich admitted that he broke House rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information. Finally, he became an apologist for the left with his global warming and illegal immigrant loving statements. NumbersUSA, which advocates stricter controls on both legal and illegal immigration, has given his immigration agenda a D- grade — the worst of its ranking of the GOP presidential contenders.

His personal baggage of his aside, he has proven he cannot walk the conservative walk. He’s a loose cannon as dangerous as McCain.
